Thread: Glind/Twine shower in a Defender?

Just wondering if you guys with heat exchangers on your Tdi's can have a hot shower in the morning.... ie, at idle after a cold start, does the Tdi warm up the shower water enough? My Tdi stays hot for ages after a decent run -showers for everyone, but she also runs very cool in the mornings if I just let her idle.

Would appreciated any comments from the guys with these setups at it's the only issue holding me back from getting one.

Thanks in adv,

Best to have shower straight after tent set up etc as enginge still hot & no worries with idling car to warm up.

When in camp for long period, idling car for warm up to use shower good to recharge 2nd battery usually have idling for 5 minutes or so per shower & warm up time.

Wouldn't go away without mine for extended trips into the bush, we use it a lot. Under the bonnet, can't forget to pack, & if you get close enough to the river with a 40' hose can shower as long as the river runs.

BTW throw in the bucket of hot water type don't last long , rubber seals not meant for hot water. I used to sell them wholesale & got many returns from retailers.

Cheers

Next we're going to be discussing what's the best temperature to chill our Babychams to and what colour piping best suits the new pink upholstery????

I just have a 'T' and a tap between my water pump and filter for my shower. When I want to use it, I just attach the hose, shower head and off I go.
