Outdoor shower?

psw757 · 02-08-2015, 09:56 AM

Anyone upgrade their outdoor shower hose to a longer length with a better shower head? I posted this over on the Legacy forum as well. Find ours to be a little too short to pull out under the big slide and comfortably rinse feet, chairs etc.....

Any suggestions for a longer hose and shower head?

Thanks

Home Depot has a fitting so you can remove the shower hose and use a garden hose as long as you like, I have one . But RV in storage. Will look for the part number.

I can't find the part number, but you need an adapter that's 1/2 NPT to 3/4 water hose. Will see if I can find the number, but will have to go to the RV to get and may be a few days.

we do the same... have a nylon 1/2"NPT to hose adaptor... then use a 10' freshwater hose... might be a little tough getting the hose adaptor in... we need to do it from the back side of the shower body (inside a cabinet in the rear of the bunkhouse)

Someone on the forum made this change to their Berkshire. I plan to do the same when winter is over.

That was me. So far it's working out great. I can add a garden hose to the end of it also.

Thanks Cajun,
I think that is a great mod to the outside shower. Did you order the wall mount faucet or find one at locally? I have looked at Home Depot but they did not have the wall mount one.

I found it online. There's a link to it in that other thread.

This is the hose I would like to use with a garden sprayer

SeaTech EC15201WX Supercoil Hose 15' WHITE - FreshWaterSystems.com

Will this fit on without any additional fittings?

If I need fittings what do I need for hose to faucet and hose to sprayer?

Thanks

Sorry if this is a dumb question but is there any back pressure issues on the coaches plumbing by having your faucets turned on but the flow being restricted by a garden type sprayer vs the continual flow of the std shower head?

I'm still a little uncertain what fitting or fittings I need to make that coil hose work that I posted a link to.

It is a marine/rv hose and has a threaded male on one end and a female connection with gasket on other end. It says 1/2 od -3/8 Id. So it doesn't appear to be your standard 3/4 garden hose size unless I'm not understanding the specs.
