Overview
The Camplux AY132 is a 10-pound portable propane tankless water heater delivering 1.32 gallons per minute of hot water, built with a folding handle for camping, RV use, and off-grid showers where there is no fixed hot water supply.
- 1.32 GPM propane tankless heater, 10 lbs
- Runs on standard propane tank plus 2 D batteries
- Starts at just 3.0 PSI water pressure
- Includes shower head, hose, and gas regulator
Who it's for
Fits campers, van-lifers, and off-grid or rural properties that need a hot shower without plumbing, especially when paired with a water bladder or small pump. Not intended as a fixed-home replacement for a household water heater.
Pros and cons
- Heats water fast without any electrical hookup
- Works with low-pressure setups like a 12V pump
- Folding handle and included hoses make setup quick
- Company support replaces defective units without argument
- Hose near the shower head has burst repeatedly
- Assembly instructions can be confusing on first use
- Replacement hoses can be out of stock for months
Performance notes
Ignition and water flow are controlled through the shower head's on/off switch once propane and the water pump are running, and the unit needs only 3 PSI to fire, which is why it works with small 12V pumps or gravity water bags instead of mains pressure. Several buyers describe it heating quickly and holding a stable temperature through extended off-grid use, though the hose near the shower head has been a recurring weak point for a subset of users.
