Has anyone retrofitted a Eurovan rear shower into a Vanagon? If so, details and pics please.



Moderator note: Do NOT turn this into yet another generic shower thread; we already have plenty of those. This topic is specifically about the factory EuroVan shower! If you wish to discuss other showers, please use the following linked topics:

I have been considering the same retro for my 88 Vanagon and this is the first thread I've stumbled across on the subject. How come there are no responses? Surely other van owners have done this? Ok, where's the thread hiding I've tried very combination of works in the search que...no results. Somebody direct me please.. Cool

No retrofits per se, but the shower topics, including rear-mounted ones, are listed here: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?p=6253316#6253316 (towards the bottom).

Not a solution to your exact question, but I've got an EVC and this is what I've bought to use for an outdoor shower option as the rear sprayer is pretty anemic and really only good for rinsing gear, IMO:

From reading the following link,
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=514572
I get the impression that the Eurovan rear hand sprayer is just pumping cold water out of the same tank, and with the same pump, that supplies the faucet. Good for rinsing sand off your feet, but would be a cold shower.

in this thread are links to portable garden sprayers as showers

Well.....

I'll say it..........

I never knew the Eurovan had a shower option.

Anyone have photos of the set up being discussed?
