    Joolca's new portable recirculating water heater/shower.

    Figured some here may find of interest.

    HOTTIE

    www.joolca.com

    I would have given this a shot if I was back in a conventional truck.

    Joolca has neat stuff geared toward the overlanding community that can work for our use cases.

    I was going to incorporate some of their products when I considered building out my last truck myself, before I decided to just buy the custom one. Check them out.

    ✌️

    Wondering how the new truck is treating you as I haven't seen any updates.

    Hope it is treating you both well!
     
    Feedman, Oxbow and Diesel Dave Thank this.

    We love this sleeper and really want to love the Western Star 57x tractor.

    sleeper,
    We had the 2nd water tank under the counter removed and 3 large drawers installed. Huge upgrade!
    He space is such a feel good luxury. I wake up feeling like Im in a home instead of a trucker kennel. We cook all the time now.
    Finding dump stations for the toilet is sometimes an issue but Im learning
    Driving the 279” wheel base and 53’ trailer is not difficult and hasn’t really been an issue for either of us.


    Western star.
    It drives so nice but I have had it in for service 4 times due to leaking oil from the steer hubs. Each time you better be the first in line when they open and still count on it taking all day. Im sick of stopping to wipe the wheels before weigh stations to avoid trouble





    Thanks we enjoy it

    I had a similar problem with my WS 49X. I was able to fix it by pulling the hub caps off and resealing with RTV instead of the paper gasket. I also took the cap apart and resealed the sight window under the outer edges. No more leaks in the last 3 years.
