Without starting the whole gray water on the ground debate all over, you guys do know that the outside shower is for rinsing off only, right? In other words, no soap at all, if you get caught in Ohio, Michigan or Indiana it will cost you big time. We were shampooing the kid’s hair outside and were told that if the CG caught us we would be told to leave, but if the state caught us we would be fined. Just something you might want to keep in the back of your mind.

I like to use my new outside hot water connection for cleaning my BBQ grate so I don't make a mess in the kitchen.

I am a new trailer owner. I had a motorhome before, and had no low point drain. Can someone please explain what that is for. I noticed it under the kitchen sink, which is in the front of my holiday rambler alumalite. It's a 93, 32ft. It also has the underneath insulated and closed off, so I don't believe I can tie in to it there, but please correct me if I am wrong. I do have a exterior storage door that leads a big storage area that happens to be under the kitchen sink, so I figured I could tie into the cold/hot lines there. And then some kind of way install the ext shower kit into the storage door. How does that sound?
Thanks for your suggestions.

Your hot and cold water lines will have valves (usually angle valves) which have lines connected to them which go throught the trailer floor and extend 2 to 4 inches below the trailer under belly. The valves are located at the "low point" of your hot and cold lines and when the valves are opened along with the sink and tub faucets allow the water to drain from the hot and cold fresh water lines. Usually used when you winterize or sanitize your fresh water system.

i thought the outside shower on my old rv was at best an ok idea and never had the opurtunity to use it. now with the new one i dont have it and saw at least 3 or 4 times when it would have come in handy to rinse the kids and pets off this year already. i am looking to install one soon.


It's not the destination, but the journey that counts!
