I bought CAMPLUX AY132 Outdoor Water Heater as part of my camper van equipment.

An Outdoor Water-Heater Purchase in the Equipment List
I used SketchUp to plan the interior and put body openings ahead of the framing, floor and wall panels.
My Interior Preparation notes included the shower drain and openings for three water tanks in that preparation sequence.
I removed cargo tie-down hardware for later framing mounts and door trim for the later insulation and paneling.
The cargo floor during my preparation session before sound deadening.Removing stuck-on residue during the floor cleanup.
My Takeaway for the Build
The Interior Preparation plan put tank and shower openings before the interior finish. This CAMPLUX purchase is portable outdoor equipment within the wider water kit. Its folding handle and separate connections are useful to compare with the Eccotemp and GASLAND layouts, particularly the space occupied by the unit and its stored accessories.

Manual Models
AY132, AY132B and AY132G
The AY132 is a portable outdoor propane water heater with separate gas and water connections. CAMPLUX groups the white, black and gray versions in one AY132-series use-and-care manual. For a camper-van travel kit, the useful reference is the outdoor water arrangement: where the supply hose, shower outlet and heater are placed during use, followed by draining and storage afterward. The manual includes component drawings, operating controls, maintenance and troubleshooting. Its model list also helps distinguish this portable unit from CAMPLUX’s built-in RV heaters, which are a different product category with different installation documents.
Does This Manual Cover The Different AY132 Colors?
Yes. CAMPLUX lists AY132, AY132B and AY132G together in the AY132-series use-and-care manual.
