hose for outside shower faucet

[edb]

I have a 2007 5th wheel Montana. I need a hose for the outside shower faucet but it has a hook up on it just like on a air compressor. I've never seen a hook up like this otherwise everything else is the same. Where can I buy a hose that will fit? Camping World doesn't have them. Why would they put this kind of hook up on a shower?

You can get it on amazon just type in RV outside shower hose and it should come up.

Available from a number of places. Here is one from Amazon. I think I bought my replacement from Camping World, but that was several years ago.

Does any sprayer attachment work on the hose or does it have to be a quick connect also? I want to use it to wash my dog. Thanks all for your replies I now know what hose I'm looking for.

I just replaced my outdoor faucet due to a leak. Ordered a new faucet from RecPro and thought I could reuse the hose I had. Unfortunately the size of the quick connect was not the same so I had to order a new hose after the fact as well.

The one end is quick connect that goes to rig the other end should be a reg hose connection. Any sprayer should attach to it.

Disliking that curly and short plastic sprayer hose, I bought a quick connect fitting (AMAZON), used a 'standard garden hose and nozzle. We can now wash the pups, the camper as well as ourselves with warm water now. Just make sure that if you consider this way, that you buy that fitting with a male thread to use a garden hose.

Thank you. I had my doubts about the curly hose so think I might look into this.

I am different (as usual?). I like the coiled hose. I just leave it hanging on the faucet in the convenience center.

You can also just unscrew the quick connect that comes on the rig and leave it off or replace it with whatever you like. Can't remember if it's 1/2" or 3/4" NPT.

I don't know if you leave the hose connected all the time or how often you use it but if you do you might want to disconnect and reconnect the coiled hose every so often so the quick disconnect fittings don't get corroded together.
I camp only a few times a year and I never used my outside shower because I alway have a garden hose hooked up to the spigot at the power pole.
One day I was doing something and need some hot water outside. I went to the outside shower to connect the coiled hose. I had a hard time inserting it and getting it to lock. Because I don't use it, the quick disconnect coupling was corroded and stuck. The coil hose fitting also had some corrosion and was pitted. I sprayed the coupling and hose fitting with WD-40 and freed everything up and it works again.
Now when I go into my convenience center, to connect and disconnect my cable when camping, I plug in the hose and I actuate the coupling a few times to keep it working.

I have used a little plumbers grease on the fitting and WD40 on the release mechanism from time to time and it works well.

I added a "T" to the faucet outlet and two valves. One side goes to the wash down hose and the other side goes to black tank cleanout line. That way I can use the onboard 12 volt water pump to clean out the black tank at a remote dump station! No need to hookup to a hose (if there is one even available). It makes me a LOT faster and easier on the dump. Very nice when there are long lines on Sunday afternoons...


Should also mention that I added water hose fitting on the wash down hose side in case I wanted to use a garden hose off of that side. Never used it but its there if I want it.

I like that idea of connecting to the black tank flush. You can flush with hot water. Think I may try that.

I had the same hook up type. All I did was take the Quick coupler off the outdoor Faucet and put a regular hose on it. I bought one from camping world and it fits perfectly.
