FJ Cruisers of Northern California
On Board Hot Shower
Well after many years of wanting to build my own OBHS heat exchanger i finally did.As i found out it was alot harder then i anticipated.After many designs in my head and on paper and after building 6 prototypes and testing.I setteled on one that i was really happy with.As i found out real soon copper is really expensive :( But the results are well worth it for me.The heat exchanger is made out of 2" copper tubbing and is 12" long and has 20' of tubbing inside the 2" tube.The water has to pass 3 times inside the 2" copper tube before it goes out to the shower head.That is only running the water thru the heat exchanger only once.I spliced the OBHS exchanger using the bottom hose coming out of the FJ heater.The OBHS exchanger heats supply water 59F up to 120F with the FJ at only 1500rpm.Still working on a flip up shower arm from my ARB bumper.Let me know what you guy's think

When I spoke to Bozly on Monday, he had to check on a possible conflict for Sunday AM. I'll call him today and check status.

What about 9AM in the morning? 9:30 maybe with the crazy traffic in Alameda? I'll bring the Cobb Grill and a tri-tip, is that OK?

Side-bar question... I just posted a question regarding the Cobb grill because I forgot what the name of it was....Since you have one... How is it??? It looks totally awesome to me and I'm thinking of putting it on my "wishlist."

Yes it's very good, so far I've used it twice to cook tri-tip. It's real good, but get it at Amazon, it's much cheaper.
