Extending the shower hose

Lance Campers all come with one

Yup, I paid to have the external shower and have never used it. Also the rear awning has never been used.

Now if we traveled with small children and stayed in one location it might be different.

Hose thread is not pipe thread. 1/2" IP will not connect to garden hose.

Dave, I think he just wants to extend it by connecting a nipple (or two) and string together a couple lengths of shower hose. No biggie. It's not like he's wanting to park the camper and run 50 ft up a hill.

I simply added an external shower. The shower kit plus all related plumbing cost less than $100. That was in about 2006, and I have yet to use it.

Can you find a place in one of the compartments where you could tap in and stow it in there?

Don't know what your pressure is like now but a longer hose to be effectively used outside will drop your pressure to a trickle due to head loss. I think you would need 2 - quick disconnects, one at each end of the extension.

I added an extension to the outside shower of my previous TT. It was a very simple matter. I got a 1/2 inch nipple (threaded at both ends). I took off the shower sprayer, put the nipple in it's place. I then attached a 1/2 inch threaded hose, one of those flexible one's like you'd put under your kitchen sink or bathroom sink from the water pipe to the faucet... and then attached the shower head to the end of that. Since all the threads were 1/2 inch it was very easy to do. If I am thinking straight, garden hoses are also threaded with 1/2 threads. You could do the same with a a garden hose. Check it out, see if that works. If it does, then you could get a quick disconnect. It sounds like a very good idea for a quick and easy solution for your needs.
