Know before you buy
No, the Camplux Camper Water Heater is designed for off-grid use. It relies on your LPG bottle for fuel and typically uses batteries for the ignition system, making it truly portable.
This tankless heater requires a consistent water source, such as a garden hose or a 12V water pump, to trigger the ignition. It is designed to work with standard water pressure levels found in most camping setups.
No, this unit is strictly for outdoor use only. Because it burns LPG, it requires proper ventilation to prevent the buildup of carbon monoxide, which can be dangerous in enclosed spaces.
Because it is a tankless, on-demand system, you will get hot water almost immediately. Once the water flow is detected and the burner ignites, you can expect a steady stream of hot water within seconds.
Yes, the unit features simple controls that allow you to adjust the water temperature and flow rate. You can fine-tune the heat to your preference, though the final temperature will also depend on the incoming water temperature.
The unit typically comes with a standard regulator for a propane tank. Ensure your LPG bottle is compatible with the regulator provided or that you have the correct adapter for your specific tank size.
