JOOLCA HOTTAP V2 SERIES
Hot Water. Anywhere.
The perfect balance of portability, performance and off-grid freedom.
The Joolca HOTTAP V2 Outing Kit combines Joolca's award-winning portable propane water heater with the Premium Pump Kit, giving you the freedom to enjoy hot running water almost anywhere your adventures take you.
Unlike the Essentials Kit, the Outing Kit isn't limited to campground taps or pressurized water supplies. Simply place the included two-stage filter into a suitable lake, creek, jerry can or portable water tank and the powerful 12V pump delivers water directly to your HOTTAP.
Whether you're overlanding through the Rockies, camping with the family, exploring forestry roads or spending weekends at the cabin, the Outing Kit delivers the comfort of a genuine hot shower without permanent plumbing or complicated installation.
For many campers, it's the sweet spot in the HOTTAP range—everything you need for true off-grid hot water, without paying for accessories you may never use.
*Approximate runtime depending on burner setting and operating conditions.

For most campers, overlanders and outdoor families, the Outing Kit delivers the best combination of capability, portability and value.
Everything You Need for True Off-Grid Hot Water
Award-Winning HOTTAP V2
At the heart of the Outing Kit is the Joolca HOTTAP V2. Its compact design delivers genuine hot running water while remaining small enough to travel easily in your truck, trailer or camper.
Continuous Hot Water
Unlike a storage tank, the HOTTAP V2 heats water as it flows. As long as water and propane are available, you'll continue enjoying hot water without waiting for the system to recover.
35,000 BTU Performance
The powerful propane burner delivers a temperature rise of up to 35°C while providing up to 6 litres of water per minute, making it suitable for everything from quick rinses to comfortable showers.
Premium Pump Kit Included
The included 12V self-priming pump removes your dependence on campground taps by allowing the HOTTAP to draw water from portable tanks, jerry cans and suitable natural water sources.
Pump Water Up to 30 Metres
Whether your water source is beside camp or farther away, the pump can move water over surprisingly long distances, giving you much greater flexibility when choosing where to set up.
Self-Priming Pump
The Premium Pump self-primes up to 1.8 metres, making it easy to draw water from containers or natural water sources located below your campsite.
Two-Stage Water Filter
The weighted intake filter helps reduce debris and sediment before water reaches the pump. It twists apart without tools for quick cleaning after your trip.
Modular Showerhead
Use it handheld, mount it to a compatible metal surface using the magnetic holder or position it overhead for a more traditional shower experience.
Adjustable Temperature & Flow
Separate controls allow you to fine tune both water flow and temperature, helping you balance comfort, water consumption and propane usage.
Compact & Portable
Everything packs into a surprisingly compact package that moves easily between your truck, trailer, cabin, campsite or backyard.
Built for Canadian Adventures
From BC forestry roads to remote fishing camps and family campgrounds, the Outing Kit is designed to provide dependable hot water wherever your adventures take you.
No Permanent Installation
Take it from one adventure to the next. No plumbing, permanent mounting or complicated installation required.
THE OUTING EXPERIENCE
Freedom Starts With Water
Wake up beside a quiet lake instead of a crowded campground.
Rinse the sand off after a day at the beach.
Wash muddy boots before climbing back into the truck.
