I do not own a router so I used what I had - if the router works for you then I say use it
Either would work - I prefer the Dremel cause it is easier to handle IMO but it is personal preference

When I bought my Sport 186 new in 2010, at Country Roads, by the way, the brochure listed a lot of things that were standard for Surveyors, but there were a lot of asterisks indicating that those standard items were not standard on Sports, like DSI water heater, enclosed underbelly, message center, torsion suspension and water filtration system. In one part of the brochure it talks about the things that are standard on all Surveyors, but later it notes, in the small print, that many of those things are not standard on the Sports. I'm looking at my 2010 brochure now, but it could have changed completely since then.

If it was me I would at lease seek a way to minimize costs. Maybe buy the shower parts but ask the dealership or FR to install it at no cost to you. I would bring up that you already paid for the outside shower once when you brought the trailer and now you have to pay a second time at full cost?

I also purchased my Sport 186 new in 2010 at Country Roads as well. I too had the same experience as mjones12. I chalked it up to never actually setting foot into a sport before I ordered it. However their photos of the unit online were of a 2009 and showed many of the options I did not get. I also got one of the first 2010 and was told there was a change in included options. That being said I am very happy with unit and did not pay anywhere near the 20K+ MSRP. So I am good. The manufactures always cover their butts with the small print on the bottom that "options may change."

I'm not sure if I'm going to add one or not but thanks for all the tips and ideas.

@mjones12: every brochure I've seen list this as standard equipment on the Surveyor Sport but I've never seen a pic of a sp-260 that has an outside shower. I guess they exist, not sure.

I purchased a 2011 Surveyor 295 at Christmastime and I could not find the outdoor shower. I do however have a outdoor kitchen, and they gave me a water nozzle similar to one that you have on the outside of your house with a coiled water hose...thats my outdoor shower. Kinda lame but it will do the trick.
