These work well too! Still trying to figure if it can be filled with beer. Wink

I wonder if you had to cut through the metal frame?

LOL, well for those that already have another model it will be a bit cheaper to just install the shower.
 
g4royce, yes, it screws off like the one inside.  The shower head hangs on a small post and its designed so you can just push it into the box and close the cover (still sitting on the post).  However, if you got a new head that was too big you could always pull it off and store it sideways.

Ditto! It is a great feature for traveling with the pooches, who tend to find all the mud and crud anywhere within range of the 'Pod. Confused

Can the showerhead be swapped-out? While I love the idea of an outside shower/water facility, a stock showerhead that dribbles would probably really annoy me :p  How much space is available for showerhead storage?

We swapped our inside showerhead to the Oxygenics one and it has made our trips so much more enjoyable.

The only indication where my faucet came from is it had http://www.bandbmolder.com on it.  I did a quick check of their web site and saw a link to their water products catalog, but didn't see the faucet.  They list a phone number on the site if you want to call.  Might be best to search online for whatever is cheapest.
