Shower is a JOKE!

We have a 2013 Rockwood Roo 19 and I have to say the shower is a joke! Maybe there is a kink in the line some where but I can't even imagine trying to get shampoo out of your hair or soap off your body-there is no pressure at all!! Basically-there is a trickle of water. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this same situation?? So-How does your shower work????

Works great with the aftermarket Oxygenics shower head. But it worked fairly well before that mod. Maybe you have a kink or poor water pressure at the source. Do you have pressure in kitchen sink?

Take the shower head apart. If it's clogged you'll find it. Now, since you have it off, go ahead and do as posted above and replace it with an Oxygenics.

Does the tap flow properly? if so, just remove the shower line and find out where the blockage is. You will most likely find small pieces of styrofoam.

I have a brand new 233S.
The shower head and bathroom facet were both clogged with styrofoam on my first trip. Easy to fix both now I have good pressure from both.
From the manufacturing process.

x3 on Oxygenetics. We have been camping for several years and finally used one this weekend. Definitely worth it. DW couldn't be happier.

The only bad thing about the Oxygenics is the shufoff valve. It's really hard to operate with soapy hands and it doesn't shut the water off all the way. I picked up a chrome push button shut off at Home Depot last weekend for $5 and it's much better.

Also take the restrictor disc out.

Oxygenics ROCKS!!! Had one in my old camper and put one in my new camper before first trip. Well worth the money. After I bought the orginal I saw where they have come out with a new model also. For the Valve DH was able to find one that just twist on the line and it cuts off all the way. Anyone that has felt the pressure that it gives hasn't gone camping with out ordering one for themselves!! I should buy stock!!! It is also only 1.7 gallons per min!!!!! Good luck. and Happy Camping!!

I suspect your problem is like what other posters said...you have a clogged showerhead. It usually is tiny fragments of styrofoam or plastic shavings. The Oxygenics will solve the issue also because you would be replacing the showerhead. The Oxygenics works by mixing air and water. It gives out more force. It is a bit nicer than the OEM. Is it $40 nicer. For me...no but that eberyone has a different opinion.

While at the FROG rally in Goshen we picked up the Oxygenics shower head and shut off. Like all above said it's wonderful and has a nice to hold onto head/handle. It works very good, well worth the money.

Once you try the Oxygenics, your OEM handle will be in your spares bag.
5 minutes or not, you will love it.

You don't know what you're missing! Oxygenics shower head rocks! I really don't know how people get soap out of their hair with the OEM shower head.
