New for 2024 - Our Bobil Electric in MINI FORM! The cheapest 12V hot water tank.
The Bobil Electric Mini heats allows you to heat water with a 200W 12V electric element within a more compact 6L tank, perfect for weekend warriors and smaller campervans (like micro campers or T5's).
The 6L insulated, pressurised tank easily connects to your existing water supply and requires very little power to maintain the temperature. This tank is perfect for warm water for sinks and the occasional outdoor shower. For more substantial hot water usage, we recommend the main Bobil Electric.
The 6L insulated, pressurised tank easily connects to your existing water supply and has integrated tank connectors and requires very little power to maintain the temperature.
You can choose between the Simple STC controller or the new Smart Controller. Both display water temperature in the tank for accurate heating, and can automatically enable the 12V heating element to turn on when your batteries are full for FREE HOT WATER! For this we recommend a minimum of 100Ah of battery capacity and 200W of solar.
The Smart Controller also has inputs for level sensors too, for a complete campervan plumbing system. To choose the right size, measure the depth on your fresh water tank, and choose the size slightly smaller than this depth. (e.g. Tank depth: 330mm, get the 300mm). Waste water level sensor is included with the fresh water sensor.
An all new 2024 design now allows for this system to be used with systems of pressures upto 45PSI, and has ½” BSP fittings to connect to your plumbing system.
If you haven't bought your campervan plumbing yet, we sell a variety of plumbing parts in our store, including a complete plumbing kit for your convenience, so you don't have to mess around with pipe or needing to know what plumbing parts you need, you can buy it all as one kit to go nicely with your Bobil Hybrid hot water kit.
For extra safety, you can also add our thermostatic mixer valve kit to provide safe warm water directly from your taps without needing a mixer, excellent if you have kids in the van!
