External shower????

[MrBell]

Hi just wonder has anyone used one of these before, can you get a external shower for a caravan, one which attaches to the water pump externally as i now two labs and one likes muddy puddles, do i need to say any more ha ha.
How much are these and where can i get one from?
Thanks

used to be standard kit on lasers, don't know if they still are. Cold water only but sure the dowgs wouldn't mind that too much

I dont think they attach to the water pump,they normally have an additional external point.

The link says to:
"cut a 600mm hole with a core drill"
can you get a core drill that cuts the equivalent of a 2 ft diameter hole????????

Is there not a shower unit which goes where the water pump goes?? i am sure i have seen one before but just cant remember where. Basically you take your water pump off and just attach the shower part to the water pump connection on the caravan and put a tube in the aqua role. O have i been dreaming? ha ha

My Coachmsn has a plug next to the water pump inlet where you attach a shower unit, never used it. You must keep the pump in place to get any water. The name that comes to mind is Aqua source. but if you lookup the Coachman site the system is on there.

Why not make up an extra Aquaroll pump with hose and trigger type shower head, complete with wiring to a 12 volt outlet.
Then you could wash down the doggies well clear of the van side, possibly using the cars electrical socket, switching the flow on and off with a trigger on the head. The pump running stalled for the time involved should do it no harm; they normally feature a cooling/bleeding spill integrated in the pump itself.

Our first van had an outside shower, which we used to wash the dog with. When we got a new van we simply got a screw extension for the shower head (one of those silver covered hose things) and put the shower head out through the bathroom window! Worked well and cost us about £4.99 from Argos - and you can now get them in Poundland shops!

Could have a look at this one looks like its all complete, pump 12volt and switch

Just one more thought, How about using your fire bucket?
