Why We Like The Joolca HOTTAP Outing Kit

The Joolca HOTTAP Outing Kit lets us enjoy real hot showers on the go, thanks to the smallest water heater in its class. Made for overlanders, van lifers, and campers who like a few creature comforts, this kit taps into any water source and connects to a propane bottle to deliver instant hot water with the flip of a switch. The Outing Kit includes a HOTTAP unit, ensuite plumbing, river pump kit, gas hose, and lightweight feet. We love that the HOTTAP system delivers quality hot showers that normally are hard to come by in campgrounds, cabins, and our off-the-grid escapes.

Works great!

Quick connectors for easy setup. Heats very fast and good control over temp and volume as needed. Intake hose was too short to reach nearby water sources so an extension hose was needed. Be nice if pump had a built in rechargeable battery to use away from camper van. I rigged up a small lithium battery to plug i to pump and use a solar charger when needed. Refillable 1 lb LP bottles keep the kit portable.

Defective unit

Familiarity:
I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

Overall this appears to be a solid bit of kit. Mine however would not ignite. After contacting tech support we determined it was either a faulty pump or ignitor. Joolca was willing to send me replacement parts but on a new unit I decided to send it back while I was still within my return window. Hopefully this was just one bad unit and not a reflection of quality control or overall durability. The customer service is limited to email only. I was a bit disappointed that the purported text customer service routes you to email and no option to speak with someone. It would be nice to have a live agent either via phone or text when you are trying to troubleshoot a problem. That aside they were responsive which gives me confidence that the 2-year warranty can be counted on. I would consider trying a Joolca again in the future. For now, I will rough it with no hot water camping :)

Very satisfied

The way it all integrates together and of course the heavenly feel of a hot shower after camping and hiking!

We love it. Just wish it came with some sort of water purification for rivers and lakes etc. Not so much to drink but to avoid showering in bacteria etc.

Hot water anywhere. Easy to set up and easy to use. Very portable.

Definitely a game changer having hot water so easily accessible.

Was easy to assemble. Easy to use. The legs for the unit are unfortunately flimsy and bend too easily. Other than that, it’s a great unit and really made showering easy at the campsite.

Great addition to off grid camping

Gets much hotter than expected and has good pressure. Have not tried it with river water yet but will enjoy our family of six being able to shower when we camp off grid!

Very well made

Very easy to set up. I have only used it twice so far. It works exactly as advertised. Time will tell about the longterm viability, but I have every reason to think it will provide good service for a very long time.
