Kids use it mostly to rinse sand off after going to the beach before going into the camper......

Just as Oaklevel says, pretty much for the kids and us to rinse off when they are muddy, dirty, sandy, or just plain too dirty to track through the RV to get to our indoor shower.

We use it a lot when we are camping at the beach. We have a tent that we set up right beside the outdoor shower and we are able to undress and rinse all the sand out of those places that sand isn't supposed to be. Our tent has a seperate dressing area so we can towel off, and get dressed in privacy.

If we are camping in the mountains, it's not used often.

This is what we use

We use it to wash dishes and hands as it's located on the rear above the flip down carry rack. Handy

Thinking about having it bronzed and turned into a coat hook.

Absolutely nothing.

Ever.

It was an option Sweet Wife wanted and fortunately it came as standard on the package/trim level we ordered. She wanted to go to the beach and thought it handy for washing sand off feet. Went to the beach in the winter never used it.

I have only seen them used for washing dishes and cleaning fish.

But someday, I'll bet we find a use for it. Like washing out the Dutch oven with HOT water.

Well, it's an outdoor shower!
Why else would they call it an outdoor shower?
I sure do get a lot of people walking by while I'm bathing.
Didn't know there was that many sightseers in the park.
Maybe, they want to use it next.
I thought everybody had an outdoor shower.
Sure saves on filling up the gray water tank.

Went to use ours this past weekend so son-in-law could rinse off his feet/crocs... turns out there weren't any hoses from kitchen water supply to the outdoor shower.

Funny thing was the salesman and the guy that did the walk-thru with me made a big deal of pointing out the outdoor shower. Guess I should have been more thorough and ensured that they actually ran the outdoor shower.

The outdoor shower feature is awesome...after riding ATVs all day, being able to clean up outside without tracking all the muck through the trailer really helps keep the interior cleaning to a minimum.
We used to use a splitter on the hose, but having a little hot water makes this option not an option with any future trailer upgrade.

We always use it to wash the real nasty greasy pots & plates. No grease goes down our drains. Once a year we go camping and I take a miniature smoker, once done smoking I actually scrub, wash & rinse it before putting up. I again use the outdoor shower to do this.

After this, the outside shower is priceless.
