Using shower in mh

[garry63]

Hi
Only had our molly a few months and not used shower yet, used on site facilities.
Whats the best way to use to get the most out of onboard shower and are there shower heads you can use to increase pressure?

 

[Gaston aires]

The more pressure the more it uses water. When we shower it’s a quick blast then a soap down all over then a rinse off. I’m more frugal with water when I have to collect it.

Use microfibre towels,they dry much quicker than conventional ones.

Both these are what we do

I'd go for the trigger shower head ( we've got the ecocamel). You have to have a different mindset it's not going to be shower on full blast unlimited water etc it's going to be functional. That being said we often use our shower even on sites it's nicer than one that 40 others have already used.

So Do I, i like my shower, I dont know how much water I use when in it but isnt much, and it stops me using my shower cubicle as storage for crap I dont need,'

I always put water heater setting on boost first, as the temperature is higher than when on hot setting. This means I can use more cold water in the mix making the hot last longer.

Like others we use a little first to get wet, then I use it all up after the suds. Lasts quite a while doing it this way in my humble opinion.

A small water saving if, like me, you wash your hair every day. First wet from head to foot apply shampoo, then soap up body then rinse the lot. I can do this easily in less than 10L of water.
Even easier if you use the same gel for hair and body, which I dont, Head and shoulders rules, I have used it for 50 odd years without going bald and no dandruff.

Just to add, use a flannel to take off most suds before the final rinse. Also use a flannel to dry most water off before stepping out to a nice soft microfibre towel.

Biggest improvement I made to our shower was fitting a TMV inline with the hot feed. No more messing about wasting water trying to get the temperature right, just turn it on water comes out at the right temp.

 

[BillyKontiki]

Fit a temperature blending valve to the shower hot inlet and set it to the temperature that you like to shower at
This gives you a constant hot water temperature without the risk of getting scolded and wasting very hot water.
There’s lots of water saving shower heads on the market.
Happy showering.

Was it a standard domestic bathroom type or a special MH version?

I'd need to fit two. One for me and one for her majesty.

I am a big bloke.... struggle to fit in the cubicle, although have tried leaving the door open with a towel on the floor....... T.B.H. I would much rather use the site facilities and enjoy... ( another reason we use sites instead of free pitches with no facilities)

I'm quite small but one of our requirements when choosing a new van is a decent shower as it gets used nearly every day we are away in the van. Current one could fit both of us in if we wanted.

 

[garry63]

Too much

Remember to use pipe inserts ( internal strengthening sleeves ) particularly if using any compression couplings.

I am using whale 12mm barbed to. 12mm male jg these

 

[LesW]

Would highly recommend one of these,

apply shower gel, soak in water, should be enough for a complete body wash.

Turn water back on to rinse off.

In the words of Danny and Sandy, tell me more, tell me more, as I’ve no idea what a TMV looks like
