Funrpod. excellent installation and pictures. I bet Forest River is scratching their heads and saying hummmm. I bet it is going to be an option in the future. They owe you the royalties on any upcoming outside showers. thanks for sharing you did a good job.

I *think* it's a fused link on the 12v side.. I meant to investigate it further, but forgot. next time I am in there I will.. I can't for a minute think it would hurt to move it if you have room and slack. I would turn off the 120v and disconnect the battery before messing with it, just to be safe..

Furpod,
Great install and thanks for posting the pictures. I have a question about somethijg I saw in one of your pics. In the bottom of the pic where you show the shower pipes before they havebeen hooked up, there is a small rectangular plastic box with two white electrical wires hooked to the box. What is that plastic box and do you know if it can be mounted on a sidewall or does it need to be always mounted on the floor? I would like to move mine but I don't know what it is.
Thanks,     Lefty

Plumbing follow up...

been trying to find the same flexible hose the factory used.. can't. So went with regular pex from the Lowes..

Here are the components and tools used.. sorry for the crappy pic.. didn't preview it until after I was done.. no going back at that point.



Here is the view into the area under the sink, where I am going to tie into the pod plumbing..



and the finished plumbing hooked up. pressurized it and checked after an hour, no leaks, so buttoned it back up.

Very inspirational!  I've never been afraid to "violate" a fine finish-
(I remember the horrified look on a neighbor's face as I cut a hole in a brand
new MGB's fender for the radio antenna....)  but it's nice to see a fine job
being done.

I also recognize the shower box from perusing Amazon and wondering which
one to get.  Now I think I know!

Thanks for a great post, and I will watch for the plumbing follow-up.

Bob

PS-  Just put mine on order!
