Outside shower
Since I don't take showers outside (nobody wants to see that) I uninstalled the shower faucet and installed a regular sink faucet. Not hard at all, only took about 30 mins. The hoses unscrew from the back. I was able to get my hand and arm through nest to the gray tank valve. It's half inch connection which made right up to the 2" long nipples on the new faucet. Nice clean install. The new faucet has a male water hose connection so I can hook a water hose to it if I need to wash anything requiring a hose. And it makes a great place to wash my hands after dumping.

I just cut the hose and shipped out the bottom of the coat so you wash your hands underneath your coach

Very nice. Like the threaded faucet. Allows for a longer hose than the shower head. Great idea. Trying to keep the dog within a foot or two of the coach while rinsing him off is a game I've lost once or twice. This would solve it.

I removed the shower head bought a connector goes from standard pipe fitting to hose connection. Cost a couple of bucks. Jim

Here's a link to the faucet if anyone is interested. You can find them online for way less than is listed on this ad.

I took my shower head off (it was cracked) hooked the hose back up to the black water flush. Now after dumping all I have to do is turn the faucet on and flushe the tank

That is a fantastic idea. Thanks.
I'll probably improve on it with a "Y" connection so I can still wash my hands.
Boowho??

There can be water that back flows from the flush tank... You should be careful the backwash might not taste good. I use a 4 way and never have black flush open with any other. Tank Fill and city fine. Just my 2cents. Love a possible hose connection thanks

All of the black tank flushes that I'm aware of come with back flow preventers. The built-in ones as well as the cheap aftermarket jobs.

The back flow preventer can fail.
