I agree with Stuart, Richard's shower option would be good especially if you use your camper/vanagon for travel alot. It uses otherwise wasted heat and has fairly minimal impact on space (YMMV).... I'm not traveling like I used to but I'm still considering putting a similar setup in mine. I'd like to "sort-of" have the hot water stored in maybe separate containers in the engine compartment toward the side walls away from the engine itself so as to keep the underseat area free for other storage though. Haven't found suitable containers yet. I'm open to suggestions. Steven 91 Westy
