Question:
I am doing a van build out for camping. I will have one plumbing fixture combination sink/shower I am assuming a 1.2 gpm 12 volt water pump would be sufficient since I not planning to take any big showers or anything like that, will only have 5 gallons of water. Wanted to get opinion if the 1.2 will get me some water through the shower head, or would I need to go to a 3.0 gpm? Thanks for any advice.

Hey Dan, so since most shower heads flow about 2.5 gallons per minute including RV shower heads a water pump like the part # SE37FR that you referenced wouldn't be my first choice unless you are okay with really low water pressure.
I would bump up to a 3 gallon per minute pump like the part # SE57FR.
