Details you’ll love

The thinking that makes the outdoors great(er)

One-touch operation

Flick the switch on the showerhead and hot water flows. The pump activates automatically. There's nothing else to do.

Kitchen Sink Included

The Nomad kit includes a full kitchen sink with a proper faucet. Hot water on tap for washing up, food prep, or anything else that needs running water at camp. It's the bit that makes people do a double take.
Nomad Sink set up in winter

Hot enough to matter

30,000 BTU of gas-powered heat means a genuinely hot shower, not a lukewarm compromise. Works in winter. Works when the temperature drops overnight.

Fast setup

Quick-connect fittings for gas and water. Running hot in under a minute. No tools, no plumbing, no power hookup.
Man taking a shower outdoors with a portable shower head attached to a vehicle.

Over 15h run time

A standard 9kg (20 lb) LPG bottle runs the HOTTAP for over 15 hours of continuous hot water. A full weekend on one tank. A week away on two.

Use any water source

The two-stage River Pump filter drops straight into a creek, tank, or jerry can. Handles debris and fine sediment, auto-activates when you open the tap, and won't be damaged if it runs dry.

Dial in your temperature

The water dial and gas dial work together so you set the exact temperature you want before you step in. Adjust from the unit, not the showerhead.

Proper shower pressure

The showerhead delivers a full, even spray at any flow rate. Turn it right down to stretch your water and it still feels like a real shower.

Bracket Compatible

The optional quick-release bracket keeps your HOTTAP V2 permanently mounted to your vehicle — swing it out when you need it, locked away when you don't. No unpacking, no setting up from scratch every trip.

Magnet holder

The magnetic holder sticks to any metal surface. Use it handheld, clip it to your vehicle, or hang it from a hook. Repositions in seconds without any tools.
HOTTAP Nomad packed in a boot

From tub to tap

Everything in the Nomad kit packs into the blue tub — water heater, pump, hoses, the lot. At camp, that same tub becomes your kitchen sink. One thing to carry, two jobs done.

FAQs

  • How to power your HOTTAP

    HOTTAP runs on two D-cell batteries. The batteries supply power to the ignition and LED monitor, and will last 3-6 months (depending on use). 

  • How to power your Joolca pump

    The Joolca pump runs on 12.0V power and can draw up to 5.8A per hour. Use the included cigarette socket cable, you can plug your Joolca pump directly into the cigarette socket port inside your car, or into the cigarette socket port of your portable power station.

  • Gas requirements for HOTTAP

    HOTTAP uses gas to heat up water and can run off 9kg (20lb) BBQ gas bottles for 15 hours of continuous use.

  • Does HOTTAP draw water by itself?

    HOTTAP does not draw water by itself as it does not have a built-in pump. You will need a pressurised water source to feed water into the HOTTAP. Consider our 12V pump, which is included with the HOTTAP Outing and HOTTAP Nomad.

  • How much water do I need for a shower?

    HOTTAP has an adjustable water flow rate between 2.5-6 LPM (0.6-1.6 GPM). So, if you want a 5-minute shower, you will use between 12.5-30 litres (3.3-8 gallons) of water.
