DIY Water Heater: The Design Process
This video is a crude addendum to the first water heater video I put out. Please watch that video for context: • Make Your Own WATER HEATER For Your Camper...
This video is less refined as I just show how the heater came together as well as some water flow tests. From the first PVC version all the way to installation in my camper van, I tried to pick out the important moments from the footage.
If you found this entertaining, educational or even enraging, consider buying me a coffee...or a beer;). Please use the link:
