10gallons/h (so circa 38l/h) for such a small membrane is a bit iffy (imho)
Possibly doable if the water is not proper seawater - don't expect such output in the salty Med!
with a lifepo battery and all that nicely placed in a suitcase, I'd expect it to retail at 7-8k 😁

A lot of money...but if you went camping AND boating...then it only costs €3740

Congratulations! that's an exceptional application of man maths, Deleted User would be proud of you Bouba 😁

it's bloody expensive for a 30lph watermaker.
Mine initially was producing that much (before adding an extra 90lph membrane) and it was almost pointless even for a couple being careful on water consumption...

Yup, 30 lph is no good in real life.
100lph is somewhat ok, and for a busy/family boat you are better in 250-300 lph range ballpark
