Oxygenics Shower Head
Here's a couple of photos of another recent mod I did. Basically, I replaced the standard Jayco shower head with an Oxygenics since I had heard they really increase the water pressure while conserving water in the process. My first time out, I loved the increased pressure of the shower but I missed the shut-off I had on the old shower head so I added this unobtrusive shut-off valve I picked up at Home Depot for under $5. The whole job took only about 10 mins and the cost was under $35 total.

Can I come over and try that out? The Jayco shower head we have doesn't have much pressure.

I bought the same one from Camping world.. good thing I did.. the Jayco one just points straight ahead and shoots the wall.. the oxygenics actually works like a shower.

We almost ordered one from camping world for that price but they were going to charge a nother30.00 for shipping etc to us in Canada so w I'll wait till we are driving near a CW someday.

One of the reasons I buy from Camping World is since they've merged with Good Sam (and I am a GS member), I get free shipping on everything. You can find the Oxygenics shower heads on Amazon and eBay too.

Pharoe.. I think you are a Manitoba member..
I order all the time from Camping world and other American suppliers.
I have my order sent to "Mikes Parcel Pick Up" in Pembina North Dakota.
He will receive any package for you for $5.00.. its a one hour drive, so I wait until I have a few items.. but it has saved me lots of money on USA shipping.

I also did this Mod last year on both inside and outside shower heads. They do use less H2O. With my new expansion tank with the pump off the head ran for a good 2 mins before the pressure finally gave up.

Mike,
Is the shutoff valve just a piece that screws in between the water supply and shower head?
I have the shower head, but need to pick up the shut-off valve at HD.

I have found them several times at HD. Made by Danco. I ended up installing them at home also.

It really makes taking a Navy shower so much easier. Wet, soap, rinse. Hit the shutoff between steps and you will see how much water you conserve... but more importantly, how much you aren't wasting down the drain filling your grey tank.
