You do realize that you almost owe me a keyboard, right? Part of my frozen cappachino came out of my nose as it was....

Why am I reminded of Saturday night foot-washings ? More seriously, if this can be called a serious thread, Jack, you can see the Tiger's optional outside shower setup here( www.tigermotorhomes.com ). I think most non-CW RV dealers will have a big catalog in their supply store that has the same or similar. Should be an easy install thru a flat outer panel, somewhere near where hot and cold water lines run on the inside wall.

I like having the outside shower, not for the foot reason, but for sand at a beach, filling plastic dish pans with hot water for doing dishes out on a picnic table, etc., it comes in handy every once in a while. All three of my PW's came with this feature. As far as using the inside shower and not reaching you feet easily, try an old fashion back scrubber, the handle should help you reach.

On a more serious note: I have found that washing one's feet with shampoo keeps them cleaner, longer, than soap--which can leave a residue if it is a "moisturing" type. I think most people's scalps are oilier than the rest of their body, hence shampoos are made to remove more oils, and with it bacteria, smells, etc.

I hate to say this, but my feet wouldn't fit in the toilet enough to wash them off. Besides, wouldn't some lose their toe rings?

Interesting question, but it would have been no problem at all in the roomy rear bath of my GWV.

LMAO!

Seriously, folks...I have no shower in my Sportsmobile. So,in addition to the "clean" dishpan for dishes only, I carry a small cheap one that I call my "dirty" pan, for washing out undies, soaking tired feet, and so on. It's lightweight, easy to clean, and stores easily almost anywhere.

Fill that puppy with good hot water, sit in a comfortable chair and lower your feet into it..."ahhhhh!". Have a small brush handy for scrubbing, a bar of soap, and a nice dry towel. So simple!

Since I am getting older and have balance and weakness issues, it's safer to wash them that way, even at home, and I do.

Best "inside" shower setup in a B are the Roadtreks with the isle shower. Had a 1998 190V for seven years and used the shower hundreds of times while we full-timed in it. Roomy enough that you can bend down to wash your feet. As for other B rigs with good shower setups, I would put the Leisure Travel Sprinter in second place and Pleasureway in last place with the most useless shower setup.
