Just Browsing Outdoor Shower

[NoWorries]

Ok part of me is thinking about putting in a outside shower on the van
my question is, those who have them do you use them ???

 

[Michael Watterson]

I have an internal and thinking of an external one for quick wash downs post swimming or anything really.

 

[Kenshi123]

Yeah we use ours for quick wash downs. Was great when bush camping for showering the little one. We have a shower tent that we put up when needed. It does the job.

I use ours heaps, washing feet, dishes BBQ plate, fill the toilet tank, not so much for showering. Fitted one of these took about an hr or so. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=111873239698

We have one, but haven't used it as yet. Keep forgetting it is there really.

We use ours to wash off after the beach etc....does anyone else find their factory fitted ext shower has quite poor pressure?

We use ours all the time for showering and have a small fwd awning and annex as our shower room and love it. We mainly free or bush camp though. Even if we are not using that shower we use the attached shower tent with a Coleman hot water and a bucket of water from lake or river for showers.

Ours also has poor water pressure. I changed the Jayco supplied one over for another from Reece plumbing. Heaps better pressure. Still not that great though.

I always have a spare hose on board and I fine that I use this off the tap on the draw bar for washing things down more than I use the outdoor shower.

Ours has bad water pressure as well but as we know this is one of Jayco's traits:doh:.

Thanks all

Ours only has external shower.
Used it last week in busselton for all showers, tent over the top and easy with the kids

 

[Gogeelong]

We use ours in the caravan parks particularly for the kids at night when shower block is busy. They are 3 and 1 so we do not worry about the privacy of a tent

 

[Crusty181]

Havent used the hot water outside for showers. Great for washing BBQ and grimey stuff, but we've found that if its hot enough to swim its hot enough to wash down in tap water.

 

[12Enjoy]

The hot water is great for washing greasy BBQ items. Ours also gets used a lot to clean the kids up a bit when covered in mud or sand. Have internal and external shower. Never use the external for normal showering though

We use ours for rinsing off at the beach. Nice to have a warm rinse over a cold one provided normally, then no sand into the annexe or van

Hey mate like the awning idea just wondering how it is attached to van wall does bolt through side thanks for any help

 

[White knuckles]

Mate I never put it on it is how we bought it , it does look like it has been glued.

Poor water pressure, remove the shower head and look inside the fitting you will probably see a blue/red or maybe white plastic thing, sort of like a filter, dig it out, it's a water restrictor to save water like at home but they really require decent pressure, so pull it out and things should improve, the shower head in the van has one as well..........would show a pic but binned mine long ago.
