We are considering upgrading the handheld shower head kit in our 2022 Hood River 196. The OEM unit does not put out much pressure at all, unless it’s left hanging by the floor pan. This is true both while boondocking, and on city/park water. It’s not a hard water issue either. That’s not a problem where we live, and we haven’t used city/park water enough in hard water areas for it to cause a problem.

I’d like to know of anyone has found a head/hose that:

1. Has better pressure (I understand that more pressure may necessitate restricted volume).
2. Has a longer hose than the factory unit. This is a secondary concern to the desire for more spray pressure.

I appreciate your feedback.
