Coiled Outside Shower Water House

Post by ply1937 »

At a one night stay in a RV park, I saw a RV'er with a 5th wheel wash his dog with the outside shower. Although I've done the same with my outside shower, his setup was far superior. You see he had a coiled hose ,apprx 15 feet, which made the dog washing effort very easy compared to constantly rotating the dog to accommodate the relatively short hose on the standard outside shower.

I never talked to him as I thought I'd just go purchase the same setup. Well guess what? I can't find any similar setup. Any coiled hose I find uses standard garden hose fittings -- not the RV standard shower fittings.

Any ideas will be appreciated including the fittings required to convert a standard coiled garden hose to the outside shower.

You can get a brass fitting adapter to go from the 1/2" pipe thread to the garden hose thread. That is how I hook up my water supply hoses to the RV so I can sanitize them when doing the rest of the fresh water system.
