Thanks again for this video. I completed the job in less than 15 minutes. This shower is 100% better than the original!
Great to hear! Glad it was helpful! Enjoy! I love mine!
Thank you! This is exactly what I'm looking for.
Unfortunately I think the price on this has doubled since I did the video!!
I googled "replace Aliner shower hose" and this was the first return. Thanks for a great video. I ordered one using the link.
Nice to know! Thanks for the comment !
I’ve had this on my wish list on Amazon for a while. I’m going to be doing this replacement. Great video.
It’s very worth it.
Wozza..I going to see if I can get to back of shower on my Navion! What a upgrade!! Thanks for your knowledge and sharing!! Safe travels!!
It should work on almost anything, as long as you can get to the back side of the shower. Good luck, I hole you enjoy it !!
I like it! I'm going to purchase it in the blue color. Thank you for the nice install video.
It comes in blue now??!??! I want a blue one !! They only had black when I got mine (before Christmas)... dang !! Maybe I'll spray paint mine ! LOL Thanks for the comment !
Well, Rick, you made me buy one today. I wish they were still $20. but now they are $54. Oh well, the price of being clean is priceless.
Well, I am going to put mine to the test as I will be in the North Maine Woods for 3 weeks with no facilities and I am planing on taking a shower at least twice a week. A lot more if its hot!
I just ordered one for my Ranger 12 Aliner and will install it as soon as I get it. The other showere would leak all the time and was a pain in the back side. Thanks for the tip.
Enjoy. I love mine !! Makes it easy to wash dishes outside without wasting water !!
Hi Rick! Glad you're happy with your new shower :))
Well, I haven't used it yet, The video of that will be after at least after few request for it ...LOL
Thank you sir, I ordered one for my Aliner. Nice upgrade for when out hunting!
I had to use mine this weekend to get the mud off my dogs face and neck!! Great Shower handle!
Where is the link to order?
Thanks so much for this video, Changed ours double quick thanks to you and Amazon.
That's Great ! Always happy to hear I helped someone out !

Hope you enjoy it! But did you order it from the Video Description??
@@GoingNoWhereFast yes
I clicked on your link?
@@jamesajac4384 Thank you !
Where is link to order
This is a must - one more to do on the list 🤓
I haven't used it yet, but its a mighty nice set up !! Thanks for the comment !
Looks like a nice upgrade! Thank you for sharing! Thank you for sharing!
Its a bit more functional !! Hopefully I won't have to use it for skunk washing on Caesar !! But it will work better if I do !! Thanks for the comment.
just what I was looking for thanks
Your welcome. There's lots more where that came from....lol
You seem a lot happier Rick. Keep them videos coming. If I still had my Aliner, I would go to the rally. BooHoo!
Well, you can still come, if you had one once, you are always welcome !! We just call you an SOB... Some Other Brand !!
Just got this as a replacement utility shower for the service compartment in my Bounder. This is a tremendous improvement over the old shower with the permanently attached conventional RV shower hose and shower head. Now the hose isn't just flopping around inside in the compartment and the spray nozzle is so much better. I mean, who really "showers" outside their RV in front of their sewer/service compartment? 1. There isn't anyplace to hang up the shower head. 2. the hose isn't long enough on that old style utility shower. 3. The the shower head might be ok in a shower, but spraying stuff off outside your RV requires different water patterns. This is just what the doctor ordered.
Glad you found it, We'll have to see how long it takes for the RV industry to figure out its worth adding to the OEM lineup. Thanks for the comment ! Come back anytime !
Going NoWhereFast the service access for the faucet in my service compartment was pretty tight so I had my local RV service shop do the install. The folks there are looking at their supplier relationships as they think this is about the best utility shower they have ever seen. They seem to intend to stock it for aftermarket replacements.
@@jeromep Good for them. Its an excellent Mod!
@@GoingNoWhereFast I agree with you that manufacturers need to move to this faucet and hose over what they are currently doing, but based on my experience manufacturers are anywhere between 3 and 5 years behind actual RVers and the aftermarket. On top of that they frequently really miss the mark in terms of new features and what the market really wants. Cheers.
Very Few executivess in the RV industry actually RV, What does that tell you! Stay Safe!
Good video
Thanks, Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comment !
Yeah, this show box made by us, and we are OEM factory of JOOLCA AND CAMPLUX
Good to know
@@GoingNoWhereFast may I send our catalog of RV parts ?
@@tkevin849 sure. Use my nowherefast5@gmail.com
Very nice indeed!
Thank You !
Great idea thanks
You’re welcome 😊
Nice job explanation
Thanks
Nice to see you again. Haven’t seen one of your videos in a while. Hope you landed on your feet in North Carolina. I think that’s where you were going.
Wellm thankjs for stopping by. We are herem and plan to stay "regular" for a while. Stop back anytime !! Thanks for the comment.
Rick, great upgrade to add to the versatility of your A-Liner, Is it possible to change just the hose and nozzle? In case want to do this also as much cheaper and easier if able to. Just added as installed a black outside shower unit in my compact stick & tin (wood frame & aluminum siding) TT. Found a great location between the existing outside water connections and water heater. Had to cut a new hole, a perfect fit between the wood studs, then splice into existing water lines using T connectors with the blue & red PEX-b plastic tubing. Doing plumbing in a TT isn't much better than doing it on your house, every new connection (8 total for the shower unit) has to be 100% perfect, no drips. Much trial and error to see which connectors fit best until it's drip free. But in the end it's worth all the time, trouble,and expense.
Absolutely !! And if your smart, you check all those connections at least once during the camping season, because things loosen up with road time and different pressures, different uses, all wear on the systems much more than a house.
my Casita travel trailer has an identical outdoor shower that I use in hot, hot climates (refreshing).....think I'll complete this DIYer....thanks
My Pleasure.. I think you'll be glad you did !! Thanks for the comment
Very good. Cheers Rick.
Thanks Brian. Appreciate your comments !
Where is the link for this? Nice helpful video. Thanks
In the description below the video... or right here. On Amazon: amzn.to/2GxpXFe
will the original shower head still fit on the NEW coiled hose? Sometimes i would still like to mount head & use for a shower not just have a spray hose
No, Unfortunately not. But you can "lock" the spray head on and use it like a regular shower. There is a little lever to do that.
Did you say the short water lines in the back were designed only for RV use and regular ones from Home Depot wont work? Like you said it seems they should be changed out every few years.
Most of RV plumbing is a unique thread. No Idea why. The PEX is regular size, so if your smart you can change the parts by splicing new PEX and regular household plumbing fixtures !
My Eclipse Attitude comes with a sprayer like that
Its a great improvement, though I haven't used it for taking a shower yet !! I may use it to was the dog though

Do u have to keep pressin trigger to keep shower on?
No, There is a little tab to lock it on if you want.
I have this same setup. How do you purge trapped air out of this?
Trapped air or trapped Water? To empty it of water just take any thin stick (toothpick, chopstix, Nail, Screw, etc) and push it in the bottom while the sprayer is locked on. And hold it up and let the water drain out.
@@GoingNoWhereFast I think it’s air. When I turn on the faucet and press the handle, nothing comes out
Rest of the camper has water , but for some reason nothing comes out of the outdoor shower. I wonder if there’s air trapped at the quick connect
@@Morningrise8 Ha? Try both Faucets, maybe your pulling air from your hot water tank. Your Water pump is on, and you have selected a proper setting on the nozzle? If the sink has water, you certainly should have water at the outside shower.
@@GoingNoWhereFast water pump isn’t on. Just on city water connection. Do I need the water pump to make the shower function? Honestly no clue.
@@Morningrise8 If you have water running in the sink, then the water should be coming out the shower too
Were you able to drain the water out of the hose? I prefer not to have an issue in winter storage- don't want it to freeze and break. Thanks for the great video!
The Hose is flexible enough and will expand without breaking or cracking, at least until it is really old and dried out. In winterizing your trailer, the hoses aren't usually the problem, its the hard plastic connectors and water pump that if the water freezes and expands, it cracks those items. And they are very hard to find and figure out they are what is damaged, versus just "Not tight enough". And that is why you add anti-freeze to the whole system, making sure it gets to the end and visibly flowing out the nozzle or faucet. Thanks for the comment, let me know if you need more info.
Hi Rick. We travel to a lot of state parks with our A frame and want to start using the outdoor shower. Do you have any recommendations for what to collect the gray water in? Thanks! We love your posts.
I used a soft spot on the earth. Use a biodegradable soap and not a ton! It won't hurt whatever your camped on. If you haven't seen my video of me taking a shower next to my Aliner, just look for one of my most popluar videos...LOL ua-cam.com/video/8SM8W59iAq8/v-deo.html
I have learned a lot about aliner care from your videos. Curious about the vertical blue hose and shutoff valve to the left of the shower box inside. What is it used for?
That's my propane line for using my indoor/outdoor stove inside. It is normally hidden under the seat cushion, but someday I will extend it up so its next to the cabinet above the seat cushion.
My cold was stripped out and leaked everywhere, I purchased a new need to find the access for it aspen trail 28 ft
Usually it under a bench or inside a cabinet. Mine is accessible from the cargo hatch or the bench lifts up to get to it. Good luck!
Going NoWhereFast that side is the kitchen area I will look, thank u I appreciate it 😀
@@victorneckar7743 Your Welcome, let us know where you find it?!
I found it it’s underneath the bathroom sink cabinet thank you
Must be the first time he's seen one of these hand pieces 🤣🤣🤣
Hey, it much more fun to play with!!!
Why is the shower outside on American camping vans
Because there is no room inside, and they are a handy thing to use for washing dishes, dogs, and delinquents.
If I can get access to my pipes I may do this too
It should be an easy access, just lift the cushions and the seat should come right up. Otherwise what would you do if you suddenly got a leak in there??
Thanks for the video. Does the hose and nozzle fit back into the faucet compartment or do you have to store it elsewhere?
Since its a bigger pistol grip nozzle and the hose is twice the length and coiled, it does not fit back into the shower area. I put it into my "water system" bag. Where I keep all my potable water stuff. The truth is, my old one never fit into the compartment very well either. Especially since I had changed to a oxygenetics shower head.
Good question. Thanks for that answer too.
Nice Rick. That should work much better.
The reports I have heard is its a nice improvement. Thanks for the comment !
Amazon: $50. Walmart: $43.60
Well, I round up to the next round dollar amount, It may be a lot cheaper on Amazon now too... But Walmart is giving Amazon a challenge to maintain pricing and inventory.
Not 20 bucks anymore. It's $49.95
I see that, I'll have to change the price here and on my Website !! Thanks for the comment !
If it isn't stuffed dont fix it.
Ah, Not sure that makes any sense, but its a much better shower, check my other videos where I'm taking a shower with it
Price is now $51.50 on Amazon. Thanks Biden!
In 4 years its gone up $1.50 and you blame Biden.... Boy your really looking for excuses to ignore reality. Even if its up due to tariffs, they are trumps tariffs, but more likely is supply chain issues due to china lock downs. Get real, you'll be happier!
@@GoingNoWhereFast Your closing credits say $20! Reality? LOL....In 2018 the Tariffs were in place. The shower was $20! Snap out of it Snowflake..You'll be happier! Let's Go Branden!
@@MauiMikes That's a mistype, cause in the description link it says $50. And even if it did go up $30, how is that a presidents fault. You just need to hate someone.
Get to the point. Most of these DIY videos consist of 25% content and 75% blah-blah-blah. This video should have been done in less than 5 minutes.
Some people want to know why and how, not just do this! Not every set up s identical.
Delightful helpful video - make ‘em the way you like to!
@@AaronStupple Thanks, there always people who have to zoom through everything and miss most of the fun!
