Thank you for your post in response to mine.

I have gone ahead and had the repair done, the job is 'Top Notch'
and i am well happy.

I did consider removal and refabrication, i am a time served Automotive Vehicle Body repairer with BMW, so its removal did not phase me.

What did concern me was the disturbance of the trays peripheral area, remember, this is a 10 year old Bus, albeit in great condition, but i know from experience that removal of an aged structure is very difficult to replace 100%, (in fact its nigh impossible) without the risk of damage of sorts.

The replace ment tray you reccomend is unchartered waters to me, as i have not seen the workmanship, nor do i know of guarantees associated and would this be honoured say after 12months?

The repair i have had done has been done many times before on Motorhomes and Caravans, and Hes Never Had One Back

Hi Jurek & Liz,

I'm glad you managed to get it sorted, unfortunately our shower tray was well beyond any kind of repair, but its worth knowing for the future.

Whilst here I don't suppose you have any pictures of your actual shower head & pipes etc.... as ours has been removed and we are finding it very difficult to find a replacement.

Can I ask a silly question, is the shower head the main tap that just pulls out on a long hose that then gets supported up on the wall or is it a totally seperate piece of kit to the main bathroom mixer tap ?

Thanks in advance

Karen

Hi Jurek & Liz,

Thanks for your message

I'm sorry but I'm a bit new to all this forum business, it won't let me reply to a private message unless I suscribe ?

My email address is karenbaldwin@sksales.co.uk

I have some photos of what's left in my shower room, the sink & vanity unit are there and the thetford wc but no shower at all.

My van is a 2000 about the same year as yours.

I appreciate your help

Thank you

Karen

Hi Karen! I trust you're well? A warm welcome to MHF. I hope your stay is a long and happy one. By now, you might have realised that this site has a huge depth of expertise and experience available. You are right though, to access some of MHF, you have to be a subscriber. But the £12.50 subscription will soon pay for itself in terms of discounts on insurance, accessories etc... I saved over £100 on my Gaslow refillable system. Last March, I saved between £60 and £350 on my motorhome insurance, depending on which quote you take!! Evil or Very Mad Wink MHF Insurance wanted just £212 for 4,000 miles pa whilst the Caravan Club wanted £591!! They both use Aviva as the underwriter!! Get out of that!!

I've just Googled your motorhome model and came up with this link...

http://www.caravanfinder.co.uk/motorhome/Trade/1D83B66AC1213FFB802577B8003CB2A4/

You'l l see that a shower IS mentioned as being included. The photo below suggests that the TAP is withdrawn to be used as a SHOWER HEAD. Therefore there MIGHT be somewhere to hang it. But that's NOT important... In a motorhome, the showering procedure is different to home. There is no luxuriating under a running shower!! It is simply...

Turn on and set temperature; wet the body quickly all over; turn OFF the shower; apply shampoo, soap, shower gel or whatever and wash yourself; turn ON water again being careful to set temperature again; rinse down and turn OFF. The end!!

We can shower every day and make our 100 litres of water last over a 5-day weekend. Economy!!

Thank you Uncle Norm,

I never knew how much information was in here its vast.

Yes the piccy looks just like my bathroom but it appears that someone has shortened the hose so the tap cant be removed. I think a bit of investigation is required.

The chap we bought it from led us to believe that it had a separate shower system as the mixer tap was fixed ??

The shower tray was split in two so we have removed the shower tray & the bathroom vanity unit and will re instate this weekend.

Wish me luck & thanks again

Karen
