Your bathing outdoor experiences ...
Return to DiscussionsSo ... what are some of your outdoor experiences? We've had 3 homes, including the one we currently reside in and they all had outdoor showers ... each one a bit more updated than the other. During the warmer Spring, Summer and Fall months ... I Always take outdoor showers and even sometimes in the winter. How 'bout some of you?
Our motorhome, probably like most RV's, has an outdoor shower attachment. I'm currently working on replacing the facet assembly, shower head and hose. The last time we used it at our club, the pressure was pretty crappy and I found that the facet assembly had cracked and I was leaking water and pressure. I'm looking for a shower head holder that I can attach to the coach so the shower head is hands free. It'll be a rinse off shower and not one that we'll use soap or shampoo. My wife enjoys the semi outdoor gang shower at the club for those types of showers.
As you can see from the pictures I uploaded, the current outdoor shower, the one with blue diamond shaped tile, is not entirely private and my wife is not as comfortable taking a complete shower out there but does use it frequently to rinse off after skinny dipping in the pool, using the hot tub or after working the in the yard.
Andy I know you have seen a pic or 2 of our RV shower. Is hanging the shower handle something like ours what you had in mind? Yes I have replaced a few Outdoor shower faucets. 3 campers I have bought before our last one to be exact came with cracked ones. It is common they are forgotten about when getting winterized in turn freeze and bust. I asked the RV supply house guy why they don't make a better quality brass faucet assy. He said laughing then we wouldn't be selling a ton of these cheap plastic one's!
Hey Rock! Yeah, seen your RV outdoor shower and we had the similar shower head and holder but I changed shower heads (larger pattern) and need a different holder. Your pic of Luann using your RV outdoor shower inspired me to take one of Di using ours, our last stay at the club! It's up on my bulletin board next to my computer! ;D
We're suppose to get heavy rain from a storm coming our way later this evening. A hurricane off Baja, CA has turned tropical storm has given us cooler temps and partly cloudy skies. As usual, I took my outdoor shower this morning and it felt so good to have the cool breeze blow over my body as the hot water ran over the front of me and then the back. I washed my hair and as I rinsed it, the breeze swirled around my entire body and it was brisk! Love taking my outdoor showers and only wish I had had the builder put in a couple more heads! ;D
Our first outdoor shower experience was the first time we stayed at a nudist resort and it was a pleasantly shocking experience! Our cabin didn't have a restroom so we had to use the public facility which has a shower on the perimeter of the building. It was not completely open because it has a roof and is surrounded on three sides. However, the door is glass and people walking or riding by can easily view you showering. It was completely strange taking a shower when a complete stranger came in and showered beside us and I didn't get an erection. That's was an example to me of how misconceptions get generated when people do not know the facts and assume that when naked people get together, it is only for sex.
We visited some friends last Memorial Day weekend and used their outdoor shower. We loved it and plan to manufacture one at our home before the spring of this year. Do any of you have any recommendations, tips, hints, or suggestions about how to make an enjoyable outdoor shower? What problems did you incur or if you could build yours again, what would you do differently?
Thanks
It's it's nice to use some sort of glass doors or window panes so you completely feel as if you're outside still but it is a nice wind blocker. Have some sort of walls simply because if there's a cold breeze or a strong Breeze it doesn't blow the water everywhere. Make sure you have drainage cuz you will want to be there as long as the hot water last LOL. Make sure you place the rainfall shower had to be conducive for two people at once otherwise one gets pushed out of the hot water. Once you install one of these he will not use your indoor shower and let's stop solutely necessary trust me.
