Oxygenics Body Spa

My TT is a 2019 Rockwood Mini Lite 2104s. I’m replacing the shower head with the Oxygenucs Body Spa model 26788. I couldn’t find my answer researching other posts.

Two screws are required to install the shower head holder to the wall. The screws are 2 inches long and I’m afraid of screwing into something behind the shower wall. I have no idea whats behind the wall. Anyone with a like trailer know anything about whats behind the shower wall or if it’s safe to use such large screws. Thanks

Following along, I'm going to install the Fury model tomorrow and was wondering the same thing.

On my shower wall the original shower wand holder had a single screw holding it. I removed it and installed the new holder for my Oxygenic's Body Spa using the same screw. One screw works just fine for me. I screwed it in just tight enough to keep the bracket from swinging.

I would mount in the same location as the old one and use the screws that are already there on the old mount and just poke a small hole in the new mount in case the holes dont line up and use a little silicone sealer behind the mount. I did that with mine and it works great. I put the new screws in my parts box for use somewhere else. One question: are the new screws the same length as the old ones you are removing? If so, you can replace them without issue. If the old screws are shorter, re-use the old ones....

When I installed ours, I took off the original holder and replaced it with the Oxygenics one. I only used one screw and fixed it to the shower wall with double-face tape.

Thanks for all the suggestion. I just finished installing the shower head. Screws are 1” vs 2” and there appears to be some kind of soft and spongy material on the back side of the screw. The wall material is super thin and has no backing it appears. I reused one of the original screws and used the 3M two sided tape to secure the rest of the base to the shower wall. The new shower head is much taller and heavier than the original and it puts more strain on the mounting material so I don’t know if the one screw will be enough. The top of the showed wall also flexed out a bit do to the added strain and I need to add some adhesive there to secure the shower wall better. If you forget to remove the shower head while traveling it won’t be up there when you reach your destination nor will the bracket. So all and all a success just a little more glue and all is done.

On our old Roo I used the original screw and a 2nd screw the same size as the factory screw. The backing was just thin luan. On the new 5er I just use the factory bracket.

I’ve heard of issues with the Oxygenics holder splitting so you might want to keep an eye on it or travel with the shower head on a towel laying in the shower base.

Reuse the screws from the factory bracket or some new ones that are NO longer than the factory screws if your shower is on an exterior wall.

I can post up at least two people who tried to use those long screws that came with the Oxygenics shower head and also the two new holes on the exterior of their trailers.....

Mini Lite exterior wall panels are 1-1/4" thick.

My screw up was not the shower mount, but a towel rack I tried to install on back wall. Luckily only one screw, and little hole was easily covered with a dab of Marine sealant.

I'm seriously considering contacting Oxygenics and asking them what they're thinking, there's no good reason to send screws any longer than 1-1/4" - 1-1/2" in any circumstance......

With the shower wall and the mounting bracket thickness (approximately 1/4" combined) I'd say anything longer than 1-1/4" would be risky. Since all they're doing is screwing into maybe 1/2" of solid material and the rest is Styrofoam, anything over 1" isn't doing anything anyways.
