I’ve been testing the Hottap Go from Australia-based Joolca while vanlifing to shower after surfing and to wash up after cooking. It features a 12L integrated water tank which is an improvement on other portable showers that require an external container and long, cumbersome hose that’s easy to trip over. The Hottap Go also recirculates the water until it reaches your chosen temperature. This slows things down a bit, compared to “instant” portable showers, but it doesn’t waste water since it won’t produce an initial shock of cold water that’s usually sprayed into the ground.
The $554 Hottap Go requires an external 12V power source, but in the US Joolca sells a 12V / 5A $165 power bank that attaches magnetically to the case. In Europe I had to roll my own with an €85 (about $100) power bank found on Amazon. The result is a true, fully self-contained hot water system that can be taken anywhere.
$554
The Good
All-in-one solution for hot showers anywhere
Water tank large enough for two showers
All accessories and attachments store inside the unit
No water wasted unlike competitors
Temperature remains steady
The Bad
Very expensive
Battery is optional and attaches to the outside of the case
Have to wait a few minutes to heat up
Water pressure is just okay
To clear up any confusion right away: the Hottap Go requires electricity to power the integrated water pump and display but it heats the water with propane gas. It works with standard 1lb propane canisters out of the box, and larger tanks with a hose and regulator you must provide.
One thing I love about the Hottap Go is that the hoses, battery, showerhead, and gas canister can all be stored inside the water tank when not in use for easy portability and storage. I also like that the flow-adjustable showerhead comes with a magnetic holder. Taken together with its approach to preheating the water through recirculation, it’s clear that Joolca’s product designers have learned from the shortcomings of the current crop of portable propane showers.
To shower, you first attach the quick-release hoses for the gas and showerhead, plug the shower into a 12V power source (power bank, power station, or the cigarette plug inside your car), set your desired temperature and wait. The unit will begin heating and recirculating the water until a series of beeps indicates that the target temperature is reached. I brought tap water up to a hot 47C / 117F (per the display) in exactly four minutes, which was just enough time to gather everything I needed to shower outside my van with my modesty preserved.
My makeshift shower stall between the rear doors of my van. The Hottap Go is hot and ready to go by the time I hang the towel.
It also serves as an outdoor cleaning station to keep the messy dishes outside my living space.
The magnetic showerhead holder is super convenient. It attaches to the body of the Hottap Go or pretty much anywhere and any angle on my van.
The on/off button on the showerhead lets you conserve water as you lather. The grey dial adjusts the flow rate.
On one windy day at the beach, I noticed the Hottap Go had to keep reigniting, despite its leeward venting. It failed so often that I saw an E3 error message on the display. Repositioning the shower out of the wind kept the flame lit. The handle on top makes it easy to move, and the seal around the lid ensures that water won’t slosh onto the ground or your power bank. Otherwise, the Hottap Go always lit and stayed lit without issue during my testing.
Joolca says the Hottap Go is good for two “great showers” or a single “long, luxurious one.” I was able to take two functional yet satisfying showers from its full 12L (3.2 gal) water tank, making liberal use of the on/off switch on the showerhead to conserve water while lathering.
1/11The hoses, gas canister, showerhead, and battery all fit inside for convenient transport and storage.
Water flow is just okay, even at maximum setting. It’s strong enough to penetrate long, thick hair when shampooing but it’s not going to jettison grime from my mountain bike, for example. The magnetic holder is strong and the showerhead feels good in the hand with a nicely positioned on/off switch. Adjusting the flow rate dial is a two-handed operation, but mostly I just left it on max.
If you’ll only use it once or twice a year, then spending over $554 for the Hottap Go portable shower doesn’t make much sense, especially when tankless portable showers like BougeRV’s cost half that. I much prefer the Hottap Go’s recirculating water tank, performance, and overall convenience, though I do wish the optional $165 magnetic power bank was included in that price. Still, for vanlifers like me or anyone who regularly spends days away from plumbing, $719 can be easily justified for what could be the best portable hot water shower available.

#filthy #portable #showerAccessory Reviews,Reviews,Tech,Work anywhere">Are you filthy enough for a $700 portable shower?
Hot showers, like electricity, are a luxury that’s easy to take for granted. That all changes after a few nights camping at a music festival, a week toiling at a backcountry job site, or overlanding all summer in the great unknown. An itchy scalp and the vague smell of warm clams suddenly make the idea of spending hundreds on a portable shower seem less absurd.

Still, for vanlifers like me or anyone who regularly spends days away from plumbing, $719 can be easily justified for what could be the best portable hot water shower available.
Last year I fried the logic board on my titanium iPhone 15 Pro. I was on a sweltering train and trying to edit a 4K video on my phone, which was charging from a magnetically attached Qi power bank. Oof, my iPhone is getting really hot, I thought, just as the screen went forever blank. The repair bill was €660.33 (over $750), for which I paid nothing because it was just inside the two-year warranty. Apple’s “genius” wouldn’t say if the phone overheated, but I’m not keen to tempt fate twice.
Heat is the enemy of batteries
Heat is the enemy of batteries. High temperatures accelerate the chemical degradation of lithium-ion cells, permanently reducing how much charge they can hold over time. The electromagnetic induction employed by Qi chargers is inherently inefficient, producing far more heat than transferring electricity through a cable plugged into your phone. That heat can cause phones to throttle the wireless charging speed in order to protect the battery.
Despite knowing this, I keep coming back to Qi charging docks and power banks because they’re so damn convenient. I’m also addicted to Apple’s StandBy feature that turns my phone into a desk or bedside clock and widget machine when docked and charging in landscape orientation.
Fortunately, companies like Anker, Aukey, ESR, and Kuxiu have started building active cooling systems directly into their Qi chargers. They feature tiny heat sinks and ultra-quiet internal fans that actively blow the heat away from the back of your phone while it charges. This keeps the battery significantly cooler and allows for faster charging speeds. Powerful magnets ensure perfect alignment between the phone’s receiver coil and the charger’s transmitter coil to maximize efficiency and minimize heat waste.
The display on the D5 shows the charging status of up to three devices, and whether the active cooling is enabled.
A look from behind at the cooling fan beneath the Qi2.2 phone charger.
This button lets you switch off the display, switch off active cooling, and retract the watch charger.
The 45W GAN charger is a great in-the-box addition for such an inexpensive Qi2.2 charging dock. Here the watch charger is shown recessed.
The fan inside the Kuxiu D5 operates silently, but it can still be turned off if you want. The display is useful, but the little winky-faced screensaver is not. I do like knowing the time and how much charge each device is pulling, in addition to the total power draw, but the animated movement is distracting when caught out of the corner of my eye. It’s also a bit too bright for my taste when perched on my nightstand. Fortunately, I can turn the display off with a tap of a button.
I like that the Kuxiu D5 ships with a 45W USB-C PD charger in the box. Otherwise, you’d have to guess if whatever charger you have lying around will support the dock’s max total output, which can deliver up to 25W to Qi2.2-compatible phones, 2.5W to Qi-compatible watches, and 5W to Qi-compatible earbuds. It’s compatible with several generations of phones, watches, and earbuds sold by Apple, Samsung, and others.
Kuxiu calls the D5 a “5-in-1” charger, which I find misleading since it’ll only charge up to three devices simultaneously. It seems to include the display and fan in its total. By that count, I’d be happier if this was a 4-in-1 device, since the added cost for the display won’t add much value for most people, and it can only cause issues down the road.
The watch charger is also a little silly in its over-engineering. A long-press on the dock’s sole button kicks off a tiny motor to slowly push the watch dock out the side. I guess it adds to the blocky dock’s durability when traveling, but not by much, and it can only be retracted when the dock is plugged into the wall.
1/9Works great with Apple’s StandBy mode for photo slideshows while the D5 keeps your iPhone cool.
Overall the Kuxiu D5 is a fine Qi2.2 charging dock made better by active cooling. It’s equally at home on a desktop or nightstand, and priced below similar docks from Anker, ESR, and others.
Active cooling on Qi chargers is a good idea whose time has come. Phones sold by Huawei, Xiaomi, and Oppo have supported wireless charging speeds of 50W and above for years. But that’s only possible when placed on proprietary charging docks capable of whisking away all the extra waste heat. Now the body responsible for Qi is working on a global 50W standard for release by 2028. Manufacturers will likely need to adopt active cooling to reliably sustain those higher charging rates.
Fine by me. Whatever it takes to keep that vital Qi life force flowing.

Despite my initial skepticism, I’m now sold on wireless Qi chargers that add integrated fans to keep your phone cool while charging. I figured they’d be too loud, or too weak, or too gimmicky, but I’m a convert after spending a week with the new $59.99 Kuxiu D5 Qi2.2 charging dock. Its active cooling system has kept my phone from heating up, unlike every other Qi charger I’ve tried. Good thing, given my own history with an overheating phone.
