Anyone consider adding an outside shower faucet?

Originally posted by Tri-Pod We took our 176 to the dealer last week to have an outside shower installed in the push out under the sink on the outside and a window put in the door. I would have preferred the shower more forward but the water lines are right there. I would have done it my self, but so busy at the office it was just easier to " Get'r done". Will post some pictures when we pick it up this week.

One of the other members had a shower installed when he picked up his r-pod. I will try to find a link for that. He had his installed on the outside front under the lower bunk in his model and they ran the water behind the kitchen and into the bunk. In the same race way were the electrical runs. He didn't supply a picture but it was the same one that was shown from Campers Word. It is a neat idea. Clark.

Originally posted by secretbard Hey David, I'd be interested in seeing what your set-up looks like.  Please post a picture.  For my own outside facet, I'd like to do something simple that I can hook-up and take down easily.  Isn't there some kind of facet that you can hook up to the city water line that will allow you to draw water from there?

Hodge, yeah, that's basically what I had on my popup and what I was considering for the 'pod.

Outbound, lol, any excuse for some more tools!  But in this case the 'pod is going to the dealer after our current trip to get the decals removed for good (on the curved surfaces - my 2nd set are all peeling), plus get the A/C looked at (sounds like the fan is hitting something when it starts), so I think I'll ask them for an estimate while its there.

David, I've done the same thing for years with a Y at the campground's faucet connection.  Works ok for feet but can be quite cold at times especially in the cooler months.  And with my luck the trip that my wife decides to make a big pot of something for a big group is the same trip the faucet is 3 inches from the ground so the extra outlet is useless for a big pot.  :-)

I'm also considering rigging up something that would connect to the low-point drains.  But then that's something else I have to set up and take down each time and the biggest reason for getting the 'pod was to cut down on setup time.
