It makes no sense to me that they put any utility connections in the door side.

I know but since it was my first I didn't think about it too much until I started camping had to carry extra hose and wires really annoying

Anyone ever figure a way to put up doors on a Roo 23IKSS shower? Curtain is fine for me but the GF has issues. I am just curious what others have done to make it easier to use.

Wicked they make an extender that replaces the standard ring at the top that holds the curtain and it extends it out quite a bit at the top. I have not tried it but it might be worth checking out to give a little more room.

Ive got one of these I haven't installed yet. Still trying to figure the best way. Let me tell you they are heavier than advertised. I ordered one from amazon and they report 1.5 lbs. I weighed it and it was a little over 5 lbs. That being said, you really need to insure its mounted pretty solid into the walls.

I also noticed after I posted it that it seems more designed for tub showers but I know I have seen similar ones for corner showers. Whitmw's feedback is good to know...the ones that come with the camper seem pretty light.

Never seen anyone find a way to put up doors on a hybrid's shower, not even the ones with a tub.
Just not big enough.

I've seen that extender. What if worry about, unless it comes with an extra long curtain, is that the extender will make will the curtain too short and waste will get out even more than it does now.

No more rubbing and if wind picks up I am protected. The packages are in plumbing isle of HD $2.97 for (4) 3 foot sections and fits tight over the top of the kitchen slide.

I have this camper and my awning doesn't touch my slide. It is about 2" above it.

Love the Mods DK. I also installed the Progressive Industries surge protector in the first wardrobe closet. I really like the shower mods and am on a mission to find the parts.

23IKSS mod - rear compartment

When I saw how they protected stuff in the rear compartment I thought is was laughable. Those thin floppy panels that covered the pump and filter and valves. decided to design something better. It was hard to get the larger panel out the door but I did manage. I replaced it with panels that still protected the pump and ducts but also provided places to hang cords and hoses. I can turn the valves or reach the filter without removing any panels.

Ok so got the Oxygenics shower head for my 23IKSS but screws seem to long compared with factory setup, so what is the best way to install it? I also replaced the rubber hose it came with because it could up and is a pain in the butt, got a Camco Aluminum shower hose in 60" so much better

Wicked, we recently camped in our roo, and as I was fighting with the shower curtain sticking to me, my husband shut the bathroom door and voila! The ceiling fan automatically sucked the curtain out into a nice puffy fashion without it falling out of the shower pan. Waaaaayyyy more room in there now that we discovered that trick! Now we never take a shower with the door open or the fan off.

Great idea!!!

I also use the fan trick with the main door closed to get the tent ends to get sucked in, makes closed the ends easy to do with one person.
