Well after seeing these shower heads in the new vans this season, I ordered one from Eco Camel along with the 'free' hose, mat and towel.

Thought we would try it on our mains fed showers in the house first and put it in the en-suite, well .... WOW!

So at the Caravan Show in Birmingham we bought two more .... one for the main bathroom and one for the caravan. Used it for the first time in the caravan this weekend and whilst the power isn't as good as at home it is still better than the original shower head in the van - we have a 2014 Elddis Crusader Superscirocco. Checking the on board tank, I filled it to 100% before the shower and knowing I usually use between 40and 50% water, I only used 20% with the new shower head and had plenty of hot water. Next time I think I might try not switching the shower on and off all the way through too.

So, if you are tempted go for it, we are really really pleased!

Hi, thanks for the post, very interesting. I've had a look on their website and was wondering what the advantage is of the Orbit over the Jetstorm which is £20 cheaper. Do you know if the Orbit is more efficient or is it just an aesthetic thing? It does look a lot more stylish.

Thanks.
Ab.

I'd like to know too, my ex took the shower head off the electric shower when he left (read... Passively aggressively removed anything not nailed down) and I've bought 4 so far and not one comes close so have been eyeballing these for a while...

There is a choice of a Eco camel low or normal pressure. I am assuming we need a low pressure in a caravan? We run of a standard pump and Aqua roll

The orbit one will work very well on low pressures we have one in van and it does seem to save water + the spray pattern is better

We thought about them but cannot justify the cost after reading reviews. About 50% say it is marvellous and 50% are negative.

I had an Eco Camel tbh I was disappointed with it, to get a good shower took twice as long, negating any water saving. The shower head was noisy and then after a month it sort of err...... Died.

We have no problems with our Orbit, it is extremely good and savings in water usage will pay for it in less than a year.

Sounds interesting do you have the comparison figures?
