I've been stumped before and somehow figured it out. However, this one has me. Either I'm missing something or this is just not supposed to be. We acquired a sprayport, basically an outside shower. There's no room to install it through the wall into the bathroom vanity where all the water hook ups are (including the city water hook up). I then thought about the wall next to the fresh water tank fill. That is under the stove, with the pump and a lot of other plumbing. Can't do that, there's a wall stud in the middle of the wall and no room to go around it. There's no place left with water, except under the trailer with the low point drains. My first thought was to somehow attach or hang it off the I beam frame. Problem there is that I can't get over the top of the beam, the floor is that tight to the beam. I had thought if I could hang it off the beam I could take the door off (which is held by 2 very small rivets) and replace it with a section of PVC pipe and a clean out cap. At least it would look better.
This side view shows the front square door connected to the back round tube. I can separate them and hopefully replace it with pipe and a cap.
Thanks for the help
Fred

Good idea except my hot water heater lives under the sink. I'd loose 2 shelves if I tried to put it there.

That looks like a sewer hose storage.
The outside shower should look like this.
It doen't nesessary have to be installed near a water supply.
Install it where you can and run the plumbing from a hot & Cold water supply. Use PEX plumbing.

It's a hybrid outside shower. No valves, cold water only. If I installed it under the traler I was going to add valves so I had hot and cold water but if it goes through the side its cold only. Just for quick clean ups.
Here's a pic of the inside:
As for running water lines, that's easy to say but hard to do with a Puma. I would do that in a minute if I go figure out how to get through the walls and floor without disassembling a third of the trailer. It's built like a tank. I think I'm looking for the easy way and I'm just going to have to run a new line. Then again, where I'd like it to go the slide mechanisms are in the way. I'm missing something here, I'm making this harder than it should be.

I think your idea of hooking it to the Low Point Drain may be the easiest. Do you have room to install it behind one of the compartment doors?

Ours is actually behind the shower tub and gets its water supply from the tube/kitchen sink connections area. There is a fairly large void under the tub, if you have a shower that goes to the floor and not in a tub, that space may not be available to you. Sketch out your plumbing diagram and you'll probably find the area you need. If you have to run it outside below the flooring, you might need to put in an additional set of low point drains.

They do make the Spray port without that big storage tube. I have one on each side of my trailer. Would require a much smaller hole that might fit near existing plumbing but the hose would then need to be stored somewhere else. I have them in a storage tube under the trailer.
