RV showers are a great way to enjoy the comforts of home while on the road. Many RVers choose to install them in their rigs, and there are a few different ways to do so. This guide will show you how to install an RV shower in your rig.
##What You’ll Need
Before you begin, you’ll need a few things:
– A shower pan or tray
– A shower head and hose
– A water heater
– A water pump
– Water lines
– Plumbing fixtures (optional)
##Installing the Shower Pan or Tray
The first step is to install the shower pan or tray. This can be done in a number of ways, depending on the type of rig you have. If you have a van, you may be able to install the shower pan directly onto the floor. If you have an RV with a slide-out, you may need to build a frame to support the shower pan.
##Installing the Shower Head and Hose
Once the shower pan or tray is in place, you can install the shower head and hose. Again, this will vary depending on the type of rig you have. If you have a van, you may be able to simply screw the shower head into place. If you have an RV with a slide-out, you may need to drill holes and run plumbing lines to the shower head.
It is also important to know how to waterproof RV shower walls.
To waterproof your RV shower walls, you’ll need to use a sealant. There are a number of different types of sealants on the market, so be sure to choose one that is compatible with the material of your RV’s walls. Apply the sealant according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
##Installing a Water Heater
If you want to have hot water in your RV shower, you’ll need to install a water heater. This can be done in a number of ways, depending on the type of rig you have. If you have a van, you may be able to install the water heater directly onto the floor. If you have an RV with a slide-out, you may need to build a frame to support the water heater.
##Installing a Water Pump
If you want to have water pressure in your RV shower, you’ll need to install a water pump. This can be done in a number of ways, depending on the type of rig you have. If you have a van, you may be able to install the water pump directly onto the floor. If you have an RV with a slide-out, you may need to build a frame to support the water pump.
##Connecting the Water Lines
Now you’ll need to connect the water lines to the shower. If you’re using a van, you may be able to run the lines directly from the water heater. If you’re using an RV with a slide-out, you may need to use a pump to send the water from the heater to the shower head.
##Installing the Plumbing Fixtures (Optional)
If you want, you can install plumbing fixtures such as a faucet or towel rack in your RV shower. This is not necessary, but it can make your shower more convenient to use. Again, the installation will vary depending on the type of rig you have.
##Testing Your Shower
Once everything is installed, it’s time to test your shower. Turn on the water heater and the water pump (if you’re using one), and let the water run for a few minutes to make sure everything is working properly. Then step into your shower and enjoy!
