cool,
is it baffled to prevent slosh inside ?

next you start thinking of how to get more surface area  exposed to the sun
etc.

thinking of less sunny days ..
I haven't seen much in the way of a heater circuit heat exchange for on
board hot water.

I also have a heat exchanger off a tdi engine ..
it's an EGR cooler really,
coolant runs through many tubes in it, and exhaust flows through it too ....
cooling the exhaust before it's introduced into the engine for EGR.,
so can't see why that can't be used to heat shower water.
