Outside Shower

My Wildcat did not come with the outside shower and I did not think I needed one. Then I took my boys to the beach and to Kill Devil Hills at the Outer Banks. I found out quickly that I needed an outside shower.

I bought the shower at a local RV store. I do a lot of winter camping so I wanted to be able to winterize the outside shower and then isolate it from the plumbing so I can continue to camp in the winter. I explained this to the RV parts guy and he selected a couple of 'T' valves that will allow water to flow straight through as well as to the outside shower but when turned the other way, water flows straight through but not to the shower.

He did not have the plastic water pipe that is used in our Wildcats so he told me to get the tubing from Lowes, remove the compression nut from the connectors and secure the tubing with a hose clamp.

I cut a hole in the side of my Wildcat just below the kitchen sink with a Sawz-All. I cut the existing hot and cold water lines and inserted my 'T' valves and tubing. The whole job was amazingly easy. Before I cut the hole in the wall, I used a small flat screw driver to punch holes in the interior laun plywood. I punched a grid pattern in the area I was going to cut out. I did this to make sure I did not cut through an aluminum stud. I actually had to move down about 1 inch because I hit aluminum.
