The cheapest and easiest way to get hot water in your campervan!
 
The Bobil Electric tanks allow you to heat water electrically (12V, 230V or both), perfect for use in a campervan or marine hot water system.
 
The 800W AC versions can be connected to your electric hookup socket (or inverter)
The 200W DC versions can be used with your 12V leisure battery and comes with a fully programable controller that will stop the battery being discharged and allow any incoming power from the solar panel or battery to battery charger to be used to heat the water automatically for FREE hot water!
The Dual Element tank can do both which can be run simultaneously.
 
Tank Sizes are as follows
6L 12V Tank - Perfect for smaller vans or those who occasionally use hot water
10L 230V Tank - For people often on hookup
10L 12V Tank - For those mostly offgrid 
10L 230V + 12V Dual - For those looking for flexibility and best of both worlds
15L 230V + 12V Dual - Ultimate hot water, great for larger vans and families
 
The Bobil Electric hot water system can heat the water up to 75 degrees celsius and easily sustains a comfortable shower temperature in your motorhome or narrowboat for multiple people. Check out the timings in the product spec.
 
You can choose from no controller, our simple controller for 12V element control, or the Bobil Smart Controller for automated functions plus the option to control a diesel heater. These controllers display the water temperature, the status of the 12V element and battery voltage. If you choose no contorller, this is only available forthe 230V or 12V only tanks, as the knob on the tank will controll the tank temperature instead of the controller.
 
The Bobil Smart Controller and Bobil Simple Controller are also compatible with our level sensors which are available here. 
 
The Bobil Electric tanks are insulated, pressurised tanks and easily connect to your existing water supply. They have integrated tank connectors and requires very little power to maintain the temperature. Suitable for all water pumps up to 45PSI,  and the ½” male BSP fittings will accept all common plumbing fittings. If you would like to use a higher pressure pump than 45PSI, please contact us.
 
We also advise the addition of an expansion tank. The tank allows the expanded water from the heating process to stay within the system, else it will leak out through the drain valve. The tank comes with a mounting bracket and a 1/2" BSP thread, so you can tee this off from your hot pipework.
 
If you do not yet have your fresh water pump then have a look at the Seaflo 33 series pump available to purchase here and works brilliantly alongside our system. 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!

12v DC/Dual Element Additions (Simple/Smart Controller only)
These versions heat your water using excess battery/solar power so in summer you can have hot water for free! 
Includes the controller and high current relay which monitors your battery voltage and stops the batteries being discharged. 
The DC element will activate when the system sees enough power to activate the element, so when you are generating at least 200 watts from driving, via solar or through a battery charger, the element will activate and start heating the water. To run predominantly from solar we would recommend installing at least 300 watts of solar panels.
Turn on/off voltages are programmable via the Simple or Smart Controllers.
 
This system is supplied with bare wires. Product is CE marked. It complies with the requirements of the European health, safety and environmental protection legislations.
