What it has going for it

What changes at the campsite

Runs on a 20 lb tank. Screw it to the tank, hook up a garden hose, drop in the batteries for the igniter and you have a hot rinse at the campsite, the barn or the beach house. Outdoors only: it burns propane right there with no vent.

Starts at 0.2 GPM. The minimum flow that switches it on. A low-flow bathroom tap opened gently may not trigger it, which is worth knowing before it goes under the sink.

Shower head in the box. Per the listing, so you can rinse off the moment the tank is connected.

Campsite or backyard shower?

At the campsite: it runs off a 20 lb tank, the igniter runs on batteries, so it needs no outlet and it starts from 3 PSI of water pressure, per the listing. That pressure is within reach of a 12 V RV pump.

In the backyard: a garden hose and a 20 lb tank are all it needs. An outside wall works if air moves all around it; never a shed or an enclosed stall.

Great for you if…

Camping, the RV or an outdoor shower is the plan

On Sep 30, 2026, that price put it around the middle of the 8 portable propane water heaters we have a recent price for.

Count a 20 lb propane tank if you don't have one, and a hose to reach the water.

Our take

The verdict

The CAMPLUX 1.58 GPM Portable with Pump Kit is about hot water from a 20 lb propane tank, and it doesn't pretend to be more. No buyer reviews yet, so this CAMPLUX portable propane water heater has to win you over on paper. Where it falls short: no word on the maximum flow or the gas input. We'd pick it if camping, the RV or an outdoor shower is the plan; otherwise, put it next to the CAMPLUX 5L Portable Propane (1.32 GPM) first.

Living with it

Setup

Tank, regulator, garden hose, batteries for the igniter: that is the whole install. Pick a spot in the open air, out of the wind.

The first rinse

Open the water, let the burner light, then set the temperature. It needs at least 3 PSI to start, per the listing. The shower head is in the box, per the listing.

Between trips

Drain it, disconnect the tank, and store it dry. A unit left full in a cold shed can crack.

The one thing we'd check first

Before the CAMPLUX 1.58 GPM Portable with Pump Kit goes in your cart, check your water pressure: it needs at least 3 PSI to fire up, so check your pump or your hose bib.

Before you buy

Water pressure

It starts from 3 PSI, per the listing. A garden hose off a house tap is usually plenty; an RV pump or a gravity tank is worth checking first.

The tank and the hose

It is made for a 20 lb tank. Check that the regulator and the gas hose come in the box, and keep a spare tank for a long weekend.

Where it runs

Outdoors only, with open air around it. Never in a tent, a camper, a garage or a closed shower stall: it burns propane right there and makes carbon monoxide.

Before the frost

Drain it after the last trip of the season. Water left inside can freeze and crack the heat exchanger. Our natural gas vs propane guide covers propane setups.

What do you get with the CAMPLUX 1.58 GPM Portable with Pump Kit?
