+1!!  This is a great point to remember, and unless I plan on taking the Pod back out w/in 2 weeks I always bring the battery home and put it on a tender in the garage (Pod is stored offsite).

Definitely strong, solid water flow. As much as the house, but it was with our hose hooked up vs using the water pump. I would not consider this a misty shower head. Again, haven't stood under, but had my hand under and we both thought "awesome!"

Bodyspa. About $40 from camping world. Just installed it, but havent used it. Turned it on and I was impressed with the flow!! Much better than the factory one. The shutoff or pause valve is awesome. A little water still comes out, but much easier tgan trying to readjust the water temp every time.

when you do use it i'd love to hear more.  usually folks just say it's great or it works.  i've always wondered if it ends up making it more of a hard mist spray instead of falling water if that makes sense.  a lot of showers in bath houses are "misty" like that and i've never liked that.

i think it's called bodyspa RV or something similar to that.  just look for the handheld one.  folks say they are pretty great.

Make sure you have at least 75ft of electrical cord and 50ft of water hose. After your 2nd year of camping go through all your bins and anything you haven't used, store in your basement.. You'll find lots more storage in your pod...
