Camping Shower Programs
A portable, bottle-fed shower unit for basecamp, overland and job-site washing. Built to your market, your brand and your carton — the platform the camping line is already shaped around.

Solutions for Every
Off-Grid Build.
Five scenarios, one platform family. Each one is a job a buyer is already doing — a pitch, a vehicle build, a cabin, a production line, a wash point — and the build that answers it. Start where yours matches.

Solution scenarios
Five Scenarios.
One Manufacturing Partner.
Each one is a job a buyer is already doing. Pick the one that matches your line — or tell us the job and we will scope the build around it.
Overland and Expedition Shower Systems
A shower built into the vehicle rather than strapped to it: braced for constant vibration, shipped as one standard kit, and locked to a single specification across several markets.
Explore scenarioOff-Grid Cabin and Outbuilding
Wall-mounted, bottle-fed hot water for cabins, outbuildings and agricultural utility rooms. No mains power, no plumbing run — a unit built for a building that was never wired for hot water.
Explore scenarioRV Private Label and Fitment
Tankless RV water heaters built to your cut-out, the electrical scheme the vehicle carries and your destination market, under your brand. A drawing question answered at the factory rather than a catalogue selection.
Explore scenarioPool, Farm and Site Wash-Down
Bottle-fed hot water for outdoor rinse and wash-down points — pool surrounds, livestock and dairy stations, yard and equipment washing. Built for a point that has no supply and no supervision.
Explore scenarioHow it works
Three Steps.
No Runaround.
Every scenario runs the same way, from the first message to the container. One team carries it, so nothing is lost in a handoff.
Tell Us the Job
The vehicle, the site or the pitch. Where it is used, who uses it and what the market is. That is enough to start — no drawings required to have the first conversation.
We Scope the Build
The lab maps your scenario to the right platform and returns a plan: what moves, what stays standard, and what the certification scope is for your market. No black boxes.
We Build and Ship
Once you approve, the line is set. In-line checks run through the run, and third-party inspection is welcome at any gate. One contact from tooling to the container.
Who this is for
Built for the Buyers
Who Sign the PO.
Not a catalogue shopper. Every scenario on this page is written for a professional who has to justify the order, the fitment and the certification.
RV and Camper OEM
Engineering & purchasing
You build the vehicle and the unit has to match the bay you already have. Cut-out, 12V scheme and market certification are the conversation, not colour options.
Importer and Distributor
Sourcing & category
You carry the range into a market and answer for what lands. The gas setting, the certification scope and the spares line decide whether the season goes well.
Outdoor Retailer
Buying & private label
You need a branded line that sells through and a supplier who will not put a SKU you own onto a competitor shelf.
Hire and Fleet Operator
Operations
Your units are used hard by people who did not buy them. Housing, spares and a priced repair list matter more than the spec sheet.
How to judge a supplier
Six Questions
Before You Shortlist.
Every buyer who has to take a water-heater programme to an internal review is asked the same six questions. Each row below names the question, the evidence that answers it, and where to find that evidence here.
Duty cycle
Is this unit carried to a site, installed in a vehicle, or fixed to a building?
The mounting architecture and the shock or vibration specification, matched to where the unit actually lives.
Fuel and site
Is there mains power, a plumbed feed, or neither where the unit is used?
The ignition source and the water feed, stated as an install condition rather than an accessory.
Market files
Which markets must this one product be legal to sell into?
A separate document per market, each naming its own standard and its own covered model list.
Gate record
What stops a bad unit before it reaches the container?
The checks, their sampling levels and the records filed against a serial number.
Service side
When a unit fails in the field, who owns the fault and what can be replaced?
A written responsibility split and a priced parts line, agreed before the first order.
Programme path
Can we start with a sample, or does the first order have to be a container?
A documented ramp with a decision point at each rung, so a small first order stays possible.
Customer reviews
What Buyers Say About the Partnership
Two companies that run more than one of the scenarios on this page — and what the arrangement looked like from their side.
“Four suppliers became one, and the season launched on schedule.”
Our line had four suppliers across three provinces — three POs, three containers, and coordination overhead that ate the team. Gulfstone consolidated it to one partner and a single PO.
On-time delivery went from 64% to 97% across two seasons, freight dropped 28%, and four weekly vendor calls became one.
Sarah MitchellSupply Chain Director at a North American outdoor brand
“The reorder went back to the same partner without going out to bid.”
Four suppliers were each booking their own LCL — four sets of origin charges, four customs entries, four packing lists on different days. Gulfstone planned the streams as one shipment and measured every carton at origin.
The saving came from the fee stack, not the ocean rate. One clearance file and one arrival notice replaced four, and the line has reordered on the same program without going out to bid.

Questions buyers ask
The Questions Before a First Order
What a solution covers, how a program starts, and who actually does the work.
01What is a solution, and how is it different from a product?
A product is a unit you buy. A solution is the whole arrangement around it — the platform that suits the job, the market it has to be certified for, the packaging and the brand it ships under. Five of those arrangements are on this page; if none of them is yours, the same team scopes a sixth.
02Can one program cover more than one scenario?
Yes. A brand that starts with a camping line often adds a cabin or wash-point build onto the same platform later, and an RV OEM running a trailer program frequently asks for an aftermarket line as a second SKU. It is the same platform and the same team either way.
03Which markets can you build for?
Tell us the destination and the certification scope is mapped before anything is quoted. Certification attaches to a specific tested configuration, so the market decides the build rather than a catalogue line.
04Do I have to buy for a whole container?
No. A platform SKU — our unit, your branding and pack — starts at a low per-SKU MOQ, so a first order does not have to fill a container. Mixed-container programs are standard once the volume is there.
05Who does the work?
The same team end to end — the engineer who reviews your drawing is the one who answers the tolerance question after the run. There is no handoff between a sales desk and a factory, because there is no separate sales desk.
