We bought the Ecocamel. Works great. Uses less water, more pressure and drains itself. Has a shutoff in line too. Saw it in the Motor Home mag. Was recommended.

A friend gave us the Oxygenics as a rv-warming gift. We really like it. Saved the old one to use as replacement for the outdoor shower head if ever needed

With 2-3 people taking showers, you can go thru 6 gallons of hot water pretty quick.
I like my Soft Pause

The collar for the original cracked during our first trip. Repaired w/ superglue, but took as a sign and ordered the Oxygenics from Amazon. Came in 2 days free shipping (we have 30 days free Prime). Lived up to its billing - DW very happy which makes me very happy. DW came up w/ the idea of storing the shower head in the net bag FR put in the shower.

Their website says it uses up to 8 liters per minute or 2.11 gpm based on bar pressure, which is a varible in RV applications. That is more than the base model oxygenetics which mine says burns 1.6 gpm.

We've used ours a few times now, and I like it. Installed very easy. I think it is a good bit better than what can in the camper.

DW likes it too, but said the water splatters everywhere.

Hey farmncamp - we have a nice 5 setting shower head in our Coachmen 325 RLS - probably the same as what you had. I was wondering how this compared to the Oxygenic. Ours has a setting that sprays a high pressure mist. I was thinking that this was like what the Oxigenic offers. Did your OEM head have a similar setting? If so, it sounds like we should switch as well? Thanks.

Does anyone have this installed? I like the feature of having 5 different shower setting and having a variable flow control in the handle is wizard!

We JUST bought this at CW last week and installed it last weekend. It is way better then our other Oxygenics one - more like a regular shower. We unscrewed the old one and just put some teflon tape (provided in package) on the new one and connected it to the existing hose. Took maybe 5 minutes.
Didn't run out of hot water either - just used the flow control to turn it down to a trickle when soaping up.

I haven't turned mine on yet ( just installed), but I like the height difference already, and it's prettier than the original. If it uses less water, with a pressure increase, so much the better. I would like to point out that I purchased a metal wound shower hose from camping world that is better than the cheesy rubber hose that comes with the oxygenic.

Oxygenic
I bought the whole set-up, hose too. I love it. In DC recently, and I used it 8 days. Loved it. BTY, Cherry Hill RV park in College Park, MD is a 10! We don't pull a car, city bus picks you up and takes you to subway. Personnel explain everything about getting around. And city has Unber. Used it 8 times

We love ours as well. I saw a review where they now have a new version with the changeable streams as well.
BTW, we have stayed at Cherry Hill Park a half dozen times now and love it!

Oxygenic shower - oops
My bad. We have the Ecocamel shower head. It did come with the metal water line. Had to buy in line shutoff as an extra. Works well when you need to wash hair, or shave.

Pair your shower head with this and you will have showers in your RV that are as good as you have at home! (Set your PSI to @ 55-60)

johnnyfd. Thanks for the article. Went to CW today and bought that shower hose. 100% better than that plastic hose.
