Rigging Up Temporary Accomodation - Hot Water ?

[Renovation]

I've exchanged and have to move out of my house in 3 weeks, my renovation is no where near ready due to trades not turning up claiming everything from family deaths, sickness etc

I'm considering a Static in the garden but the other option is to "camp" in the house - some rooms are plastered and have power.

I'm thinking electric heaters in the bedrooms, I can fit a temporary bathroom and kitchen but the main thing I'm missing is hot water.

The obvious options are:

Electric shower
Electric hot water heater by sink

Are there any propane equivalents - albeit as it's hopefully only for a few months are they worth the hassle ?

Does something like a propane heated tea urn exist

I've done the camping in the house most of my life , it's a bit crap but it is the way forward , electric shower over a cheap shower tray and a couple of shower curtains .
If you live in it you have no choice but to get on with it , if you escape to a static you may start to get comfortable in it , and you have to get rid of it at the end .

Combination hot water cylinder. It's a header tank and cylinder in one. You could run a temporary cold feed to in plastic and the same out for the hot. Fit an immersion heater to it and you have a temporary store of hot water.

Either that or a small mains pressure electric water heater.

Boil a kettle and use a local sports club for hot showers

Exactly this with simply a 3 pin plug on the end of the immersion element cable, just plug it into a 24 hr timer.

Could consider showring at a budget, no contract gym if in walking distance.

I'd say that it might depend on how much messy work you still have to do in the house as it gets to be a real PITA having to tape off the clean areas and you also waste time tidying up after yourself each time.

We ended up with a static and it meant I could just crack on with messy jobs like plaster removal, cutting timber, etc. and just do a basic clean up with broom and shovel then nip into the caravan to get clean and sit in a clean environment.

We're back in the house now and the static needs to go as it's where we'll be building the garage. Not anywhere near Reading are you?
