Upgrading shower head and exterior shower

So I can't get my stock shower head in my 2015 quicksilver toyhauler to stay in postion. It likes to shoot towards the door or towards the toilet which drives me crazy. I am curious how hard it is to swap out the shower head for a heavier one and still use the stock holder or if its simple to swap that out as well? Also where and what kind of exterior shower head and water line will connect to the exterior shower since its not a threaded fitting?

The Oxygenics is the most popular upgrade. Be sure to add the Danco Shutoff or equivalent. The existing holder will work, but there are better swivel holders available. [/font]

Thanks for the quick response! I was looking into the Oxygenics already. Bit reluctant to drill new holes to install the new mount but I am guessing it shouldn't be too hard. Is the mount that comes with the Oxygenics nice? Seems to swivel and what not and looks decent.

the mount it comes with is sufficient...but can be a pita tighten down.  i found that due to the stiff hose it still like to point sideways and not stay straight

I think I am going to try to put some white electric tap around the base of the shower head. Hopefully it will hold it tight enough in the mount to not move. If not then its going bye bye.

We just upgrade our shower head to the Ecocamel. Easy process.

i like that...where did you pick it up?

Looks really nice. Is that thing really suction cupped to the wall though? I don't know if I would trust that myself but it sure looks nice. I wish they made aftermarket mounts that fit the pre-existing holes. I heard they make a few but I haven't researched enough to find it.

I plugged the original holes and then positioned the suction cup right on top of those hole with silicone. Love the adjustability but it would not stay stuck to wall so just sealed it down.
