Hi
Just wanted to post our experiences using our new shower. We have just had a shower power unit fitted under bonnet in our troopy. With the inlet and outlet fitting we opted for stainless snaplock fittings. We found the unit worked very
well and that the amount of water provided from the shower rose was enough for a "nice" shower. We also opted for the spring up shower tent to go with it.
The "missus" is now in
heaven!. one less compliant on the road! :))

Well done Lyndon. It is good to be able to have a shower in the bush.
I have a Twine that I am happy with, but I am interested in these stainless steel snap fittings. Do you have any idea where these can be sourced in NSW, as
mine are plactic and I have decided against any fittings due to breakages and air leakage. I just roll up the hose and it sits in the engine bay.
Thanks.
Jack

Hi Jack
Not sure where you can source them in NSW, you could phone Greg Moore at TJM in SA for some details about their exact name/part number.
Good luck
Lyndon

Jack,
I'm not 100% sure of the fittings you are mentioning (I haven't got a shower unit in the truck) but I have purchased brass hose fitting that match NYLEX brand and the generics.
The other option may be air hose fittings of the correct diameter.

I use both Brass Nylex hose fittings and Airline Hoses and Fittings in my
vehicle shower system.
Works fine.

Hi Lyndon.
I have gone back to using plastic fittings & have had no problems.
I split the water after the pump into cold & hot taps & use a return valve to save water when soaping up. I found that using hot water only caused the water to get too hot.
My heat exchanger is copper & has 1om of internal piping in the unit.
The only drawback is having 2 hoses running to the shower otherwise the unit is great.
Regards.
Vince
