Hey Pippi. I watched your enthusiasm over your campground shower, just too cute, made me laugh. But that’s not why I’m posting. I love a good pressure shower but my bus has a regulator that I can’t adjust. Someone on one of the FB groups recommended a replacement shower head that is amazing. I think I saw yours and it looked like the standard RV shower head. I got the Oxygenics shower head
.
According to my wife and daughter who both also have long hair it’s amazing. I got the whole thing, but didn’t use the hose, and after some testing I removed the stop/start button as I don’t boondock and am not worried about my consumption. The girls say it is amazing and they get all the soap out of their hair. I don’t have much hair so I don’t really care. 😉 Anyway, since you do full time it might be something to consider. At least it will up your experience between Brick and Mortar showers.

PS: Been awhile since I played around in forums. Do you still need to have something like Photobucket to host pictures in here in order to post?Hi Don, I’m familiar with the Oxygenics shower head. I’ve actually improved my pressure situation since that video 😉 Thank you for the advice.
If you want to post pics on this forum the pics need to already be on the web with a link. There are many ways to do so including Facebook and Pintrest, I believe.
I have an Oxy and found it to be much better than the available standard units, however, the balancing factor is that it’s also about 4 times the size of a standard unit. I won’t go to the trouble of posting a side-by-side pic unless it’s asked for.
My first impression was one of disappointment with the Oxy. With all the hoopla on the forums about it, I thought it would perform like a regular shower but it’s not so one shouldn’t really expect it to do so. It is an improvement and one that won’t run into three digits(about $40 vs $15 for a standard unit) or cause a massive amount of replumbing.
To get really better water pressure, I was thinking a heavier psi pump but my Thor is twenty years old and I’m not real sure of the condition of the piping. I do know that the piping is the older gray stuff that they don’t make anymore. Shure-Flo makes a pump that pushes water at 65 PSI. Standard pumps seem to be about 50 PSI. i really do think that my next not so minor project will be to replace the hot water tank with a tankless system. http://youtu.be/v_HArP1yXf8
A tankless water heater would be great. If I didn’t have projects lined up the wazoo I would replace all my grey piping (poly B/polybutelene) with flexy pex piping.
The grey piping is suppose to be unreliable. however, mine has been fine (KNOCK ON WOOD!)
We have an Atwood tankless water heater
and it is very nice. We get as much hot water as we need and for my wife that means taking really long showers. These water heaters are still a little bit finicky though. We have been camping in ours full-time for about 70 days now and it is a new water heater. Two or three weeks ago though there was a plastic manifold in the water heater that broke and was leaking out all of the place one morning. Luckily none of it leaked back into our storage facility and all leaked out the side. It was all covered under warranty however the one pices took about a week and a half to get and we had to bring our camper into the shop for the day to get it fixed which was inconvenient.
I’ve got new and improved Oxygenics coming in the mail, called the Fury! I will be reporting on it soon. I’m getting another one to give away for free to one lucky viewer. Stay tuned for the details on that 😀
We have the oxygenic shower head in our class A. Same size essentially as the stock head. A VAST improvement on the stock head. I still tell my wife how much I love it. Didn’t like showers in the RV before, now it really is a pleasure. Hope this helps.
Hi Pippi.
You want instant hot water? Take long hot showers, do dishes etc for $20 a YEAR on LP.My Marey Tankless LP water heater
does just that.
If you use a tankless hot water heater would it still be able to switch between LPG and electric? Pippin are you considering installing a tankless unit?
