Up to 1.32 GPM

That's the maximum flow the listing states, and headline flows are usually quoted at a mild temperature rise. Our calculator counts a shower at 2 GPM, so that's a hot rinse for one person at a time, after the lake or the trail.

What it has going for it

What changes at the campsite

Runs on propane. 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.

Safety listing. CSA, ETL or UL certification is named in the listing: a third-party safety mark, which is what you want on anything that burns propane next to you.

Campsite or backyard shower?

At the campsite: the igniter runs on batteries, so it needs no outlet, it starts from 3 PSI of water pressure and it weighs 10 lb, 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. Its spot is in the open air, out of the wind; a shed, a tent or a closed stall is out.

Great for you if…

You need one shower or one sink at a time, not the whole house
Camping, the RV or an outdoor shower is the plan

Skip it if…

You want something to mount inside the house: this one runs outdoors only

The seller's claims, quoted as written; we haven't measured any of it. The flow at your winter rise is in the maker's chart, not in the bullet points.

Price and cost per GPM of stated flow

$151.99 Price on Sep 30, 2026 · may have changed

At the price on Sep 30, 2026, each GPM of stated maximum flow works out at about $115.14 (price ÷ stated GPM, our arithmetic). That puts it in the pricier third of the 7 portable propane water heaters we have a price and a stated flow for.

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

Our take

The verdict

Our favourite thing about the CAMPLUX 5L Portable Propane (1.32 GPM) is a 1.32 GPM maximum flow, closely followed by hot water from a propane tank. No buyer reviews yet, so the CAMPLUX 5L Portable Propane (1.32 GPM) has to win you over on paper. Honestly, the catch: no word on the gas input or the warranty. We'd pick it if you need one shower or one sink at a time, not the whole house; otherwise, put it next to the Eccotemp Luxé EL7 Portable (1.85 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. 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 5L Portable Propane (1.32 GPM) ships, check where it will run: it burns propane right there, so it belongs outdoors with air all round.

Before you buy

Water pressure

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

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.

Frequently asked questions

Is the CAMPLUX 5L Portable Propane (1.32 GPM) any good?

We rate it 7.3/10 (good). The rating comes from its documented listing alone, as no customer-review record is captured yet.

How much hot water can the CAMPLUX 5L Portable Propane, 1.32 GPM deliver?

The listing states a maximum flow of 1.32 GPM. The headline flow is a mild-weather number: with cold winter water coming in, the same unit gives you less. Read the maker's flow chart at your winter rise, or let our flow-rate calculator do the sums.

Can the CAMPLUX 5L Portable Propane, 1.32 GPM be installed indoors?

No. It is a portable propane unit with no vent connection, so it belongs outdoors with air all round: never in a closed room, a tent or a vehicle.

What do you get with the CAMPLUX 5L Portable Propane (1.32 GPM)?

Its listing states up to 1.32 GPM and hot water from a propane tank. These are the seller's figures, not our measurements: how steady the temperature is in your shower and how it copes with your winter water can't be read from a listing.

What should I check before ordering the CAMPLUX 5L Portable Propane (1.32 GPM)?

Water pressure: 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: 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.

Where can I buy the CAMPLUX 5L Portable Propane (1.32 GPM)?

We link to the exact listing on Amazon, where today's price, stock and seller apply. It is an affiliate link, and it has no effect on the rating.

Have you used the CAMPLUX 5L Portable Propane (1.32 GPM) yourselves?

No, we haven't used it ourselves. Everything on this page comes from its listing, read line by line and weighed with our published formula.
