anyone ever hooked this up to a camper at a campground?

If your campground has a water hookup for your camper, this heater will work. I use a garden hose for the connection and have plenty of hot water. I've had mine for over 3 years, using it daily and have had zero problems. Don't let water drip inside the unit and keep an extra set of batteries. You will love this device!

My wife and I are going full-time in a travel trailer. We look forward to continuous hot water. Thanks for the advice!

I have a 4"X4"X4' redwood stake equipped with a lath screw that I can place just about anywhere. I just place the water heater on the screw and am ready to go. The unit is so light that this approach works. I travel with all of my attachments "attached". Takes a few minutes to dig a hole and I am ready to go. I would think that the attachment screw could be to a camper instead; just make certain that the heat deflector is properly oriented away from the camper.

That is the only time we use ours. It takes less than 10 minutes to hook up. We remove it for storage. We have a screw on the outside of our camper above the connection door.

We attached it to the outside kitchen wall of our slide in truck camper. Great for dishes. Good for conservative shower time. We hooked it up to the 20 pound propane tank. Very economical. Handles water pressure just fine.

I have one on my boat, and it has worked well. The unit itself doesn't seem to get too hot -- an important concern when leaving it on and unattended for a week at a time. Just wondering what kind of tent has an AC outlet!

I haven't but I did use an elk heavy duty relay plugged into a zwave controllable outlet to control my hot water heater. Works like a champ.

Absolutely! That's where we have this installed. We get better signals inside the RV in the woods, than we do at home.

I have a bracket on the outside of my travel trailer that is identical to the one that came with the mount, so I'm sure you can mount it to the outside of your camper if you can find a stud to anchor it to.

No,,it. Is fixed in the plug..it will work in any camper requiring a 50 amp plug-in... It plugs in and does a turn to lock into place..then the larger nut screws on the outside leaving a water tight connection

We haven't used ours yet....but we took it out of the box and looked how it works and we know it will work for us on our camping trips. We are excited to use it this year!!!

Yes. It is a adapter that goes onto the antenna connection. I use it all the time because my antenna is 30ft up in a tree and connects with a co-axle cable. (My camper is in the middle of Cloquet Vally state forest.

yes, it has a standard attachment like a waste hose so you could hook a hose to your camper and the other end to the flojet as long as you keep the flojet lower than the level of you waste pipe it should work fine

Anything is possible with zip ties and duct tape or if you are a redneck lol I use mine as a battery to run my truck radio all night when I go camping it always hooked up just found out my main battery was dead after unhooking it last week to power an inverter lol that little battery is amazing

Yes that will work. I would recommend getting a 30 to 15 amp adapter and run two extension chords from different outlets. This will allow your entire camper to have power Instead of only half.

We full time in our RV, I installed this heater last summer. It's worked like a dream. When we are parked it's hooked up to shore power and water, no issues. When we are dry camping it runs off the solar and on board water. Just have to watch the pressure if your trying to run more than one faucet. I have it mounted to the inside wall in our bathroom, and vented out the side wall.

Yes but as an extension cord only. It will not screw into the side of your camper.

I haven't installed my unit outside yet. I have it plugged in inside the house. I rent camper spaces and the people in the camper about 500 feet away had to hook up a receiver to get good reception in there camper. I think if I had it installed outside they would pick it up fine. My neighbor has one and he picks it up good all over his farm and can get 2 bars half a mile away. He mounted his on top of his tallest barn. If you aren't able to get enough bars maybe you could put a receiver/router thing on (I don't know what they put on but it was something they already owned)

No cheater cords will work when plugged into a GFIC protected receptacle. If the campground modernizes, GFICs are required; hopefully they will update to 50A service when they make any changes.
