Tab 400 outdoor water pressure

Archie

Hello. I use my outdoor shower to bathe my kids before bed, primarily to avoid the huge wet mess they create inside the camper. My issue is that the indoor water pressure is fastastic but the outdoor pressure is horrendous. It is just a trickle. The hose filter is not clogged. Anyone else have this issue or ideas for a fix?

Maybe some debris from the FW tank got into the line?   The only other thing you can do is to take it apart.  I know that the outdoor shower assembly component is pretty standard across the RV industry as I purchased one for another trailer out west.  

My trailer is parked at my other home so I have no reference here to look at. If the showerhead could be removed you could try running the hot and cold full blast.

The limited outdoor shower flow has been mentioned before.  Someone found that removing the entire length of the hose actually kinked it - reducing the flow.  So, they pushed a little back into the opening and found the pressure to be better.

Hello all. Thank you for your comments. I realized this past weekend on our camping trip that the camp site water pressure was low. That was our issue. I filled our freshwater tank with water and used the pump and we have good full pressure outdoors.

does does the fresh water tank need to be filled and the pump turned on to get good water pressure outside?

@SusanT No,  the campground water pressure should be better than the pressure provided by the internal pump.   Don't forget to add a pressure regulator to your incoming water line to protect your trailers plumbing

Here is a thread that holds a link to another thread.  I took my shower apart and found the little hole at the base of the head was pretty tiny.  It also seems to take a long time to get the water pressure up on the outdoor shower, since it is at the very end of the line as far as water goes.
