2009 825 Lance Camper outdoor shower install
Hi Gang, Like I said in the subject 09 Lance camper, and I want to put a shower in the side. It is a smooth sided camper. I am kind of scared to cut the hole. Need some reassurance. I just ordered ...

My year of Lance did come with an option for a shower, but there it was never installed. Luckily it is under the kitchen sink, and next to the kitchen drawers. I can access it from behind. It isn't easy, but I can see all of the obstructions. I did not get the factory shower, but I did find an aftermarket one that is slightly smaller so I think it will fix.
As far as it already being framed, I wish that was so. It is already plumbed. I have blocked off hot and colds that are ready to screw on, but no framed hole. That said the side of my "garden shed" haha is just like 1/2 inch plywood with the plastic or fiber glass siding whatever that actually is. So I don't believe I will need to frame anything. I think I will just need to cut the hole.
Thank you for reminding me to check with interfering things on the back side while cutting. Although in my head I would know something was there, I am not sure I thought about how far the blade might go in. I do have the hot and cold pex lines sort of in the way. I may need to reroute them depending on how deep the shower actually is.
I feel like I should take it to the professionals, but I don't really know anybody that works on campers, and at the end of the day they will be cutting a whole in my camper if they can do it, I can do it right?
Thanks again for everybody's input. You have already saved me time and heartache, and I haven't even started yet. Shower should be here on Thursday. Hopefully this weekend I will install it trouble free.
