We are not running propane in our conversion, so I would be using 1 lb canisters. I suppose I could attach a mount bracket on the outside of the trailer and use some type of quick connect fittings. My concern is the unit "walking away" while I am gone for the day working. The idea of connect, shower, disconnect, stow away then repeat at the end of the day isn't too appealing, but it could be done.
Martin - Can you tell me how you did your water connections? Thanks
JW,
I gutted a RV shower box, replacing the shower valves with 1/4 turn washing machine valves, it looks like this
.
A pair of flexible stainless steel washing machine hoses with 90 degree fittings on trailer side and with quick connects on the WH side hook to this converted shower box. The quick connects make it real easy to unhook it and use it elsewhere if need be. it takes all of two minutes to set up once I get to my destination.
It hangs from two pieces of uni-strut channel mounted to the front of my CTC just above the city/gravity fill inlet in this picture
.
On the interior/under the sink I tee'd off my cold water line after the pump and installed a gate valve. The valve allows me to shut the cold water off if the WH isn't connected and still have cold water to my kitchen sink.
A hot water line from the back of the exterior box brings hot water from the WH into the kitchen area.
I hope this explains what you wanted to know.
Martin
