If you're getting a poop shower when you remove the cap from the sewer hose connector on your trailer, the shut off valve may have something jammed in the seat, or is damaged. Had the same problem with the SOB TT we got rid of, right from day one. When I flushed it out into a bucket, I collected chunks of wood, broken drill bits, and lots of foam pieces. The first dealer fix was to crank down the bolts (trailer had a belly skin, so I couldn't get at it) on the valve so hard that I almost pulled the cable out. Leaked still. Second fix supposedly replaced the valve, but it still leaked into the cap. My fix was to put a twist-on gate valve at the cap and leave it there. Used that to connect the hose to. Ended the green/brown showers.I have used mine on two trips now - for sandy or dirty grandkids. Built a little pedestal out of the leveling blocks and hosed their dirty little legs off!! It was really nice having warm water, especially at the California coast in September. The ocean is freezing! I also use the shower because everytime I take the lid off of the septic hook-up thing, I get a poop shower. Great. It is in the shop again to see if we can finally get that thing fixed.
Burt,
I have never found the standard plastic outdoor shower heads to be very effective. The classic Landmarks and early Bighorns came with a quick disconnect port with the coiled hose and metal sprayer. Nice
Not any more
I had my plastic shower head/faucet removed in my UDC and replaced with a quick disconnect spray port and faucet plus a coiled hose with metal sprayer.
I use mine to clean my grill and wash my shoe bottoms when I step in someone's doggy doo
This upgrade is not for everyone but if you are very handy it can be a DIY project.
