Presumably using the Truma gas water heater mentioned in this Caravan And Motorhome Club article (and this Freedom Caravans advert).

Sorry, no idea about towbar fitting prices.

I had a Jetstream and our water was heated with electric. But the water heater was only about 5litres. So if you want a shower, make it a quick one!
Probably, if you want a Nissan towbar, you will have to pay top dollar. My advice would be, price around.

I don't think a shower is necessary in a caravan that small. I would just use site facilities. The price for dealer fit towbar is reasonable. For that you get a warrantied fitting with correct electrics used. While getting an aftermarket towbar fitted will not void car warranty any problems, usually electrical caused by towbar fitting that cannot be resolved by towbar fitting company so require main dealer workshop attention will have to be paid for.

I agree with Opensauce regarding the use of a shower, I have a small Elddis 304 and the shower is tiny (its a shower/toilet all in one setup)

Unless you are going "off grid" then its better just to use the site facilities.

In our freedom the water hotter consists of a kettle, not much to go wrong thankfully.

Ha ha!
I have just bought a Freedom Jetstream.
It's my first caravan. I can't wait to use it.
Our hot water just consists of a kettle too.
The simplest things in life are the best!
