Showers for caravans, motorhomes and campervans provide essential washing facilities in leisure vehicles, ranging from complete cubicle systems to individual components for DIY installations. Popular options include thermostatic mixer valves like the V100 and V200 models with 45mm centres, shower trays in various sizes from 585mm square to custom dimensions, and complete shower sets with riser rails and multi-mode heads. Essential components include shower heads in white, black and chrome finishes, flexible shower hoses, and outdoor shower assemblies for external washing facilities. Many systems integrate with existing water heaters and pumps to deliver consistent temperature control and adequate water pressure.
Installing showers in leisure vehicles requires careful consideration of space constraints, water supply systems and drainage requirements. Thermostatic mixer valves ensure safe, consistent water temperatures by automatically balancing hot and cold water supplies, essential for family use and preventing scalding. Shower trays must accommodate cassette toilets where space permits, with models designed specifically for popular toilet systems like the Thetford C400 series. External shower connections allow outdoor washing without compromising internal space, connecting directly to onboard water systems via quick-connect fittings. Proper ventilation and moisture control prevent condensation damage in confined spaces, making extractor fans essential for enclosed shower installations.
Maintenance and troubleshooting shower systems involves regular cleaning of mixer valve components and checking water pressure settings to ensure optimal performance. Common issues include low water pressure caused by blocked shower heads or limescale buildup in thermostatic cartridges, and temperature fluctuations indicating faulty mixer valve components. Shower hoses require periodic replacement due to kinking or internal degradation, whilst shower trays need proper sealing to prevent water damage to vehicle structures. One consideration is that thermostatic valves require adequate hot water supply pressure to function correctly, making them unsuitable for gravity-fed systems without sufficient head height or pump pressure assistance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between V100 and V200 thermostatic mixer valves?V100 valves mount vertically whilst V200 valves mount horizontally, both with standard 45mm fixing centres for easy replacement in static caravans and motorhomes. Both feature thermostatic temperature control with ceramic disc cartridges and chrome-plated brass construction. The V100 is more common in shower cubicles whilst the V200 suits installations with horizontal pipe runs and limited vertical space.Why does my caravan shower temperature keep fluctuating between hot and cold?Temperature fluctuations typically indicate low water pressure, blocked shower heads, or faulty thermostatic cartridges in mixer valves. Check water pump pressure settings first, then clean limescale from shower heads and inlet filters. If problems persist, the thermostatic cartridge may need replacement. This issue commonly occurs when other water outlets are used simultaneously, reducing pressure to the shower mixer valve.What size shower tray do I need for my caravan or motorhome?Standard caravan shower trays range from 585mm x 585mm for compact installations to 670mm x 670mm for larger spaces. Many trays are designed to accommodate specific cassette toilets like the Thetford C400 series. Measure your available space carefully, allowing for waste outlet positioning and access for toilet removal. Custom sizes are available for unusual layouts, though standard dimensions suit most caravan and motorhome applications.Can I install an outdoor shower on my campervan or motorhome?Yes, outdoor showers connect to your existing water system via external outlet points, typically mounted on the rear or side panels. These systems use standard shower hoses and heads with quick-connect fittings to your hot and cold water supplies. Outdoor showers save internal space whilst providing washing facilities for people, pets, and equipment. Ensure adequate water pressure and consider privacy screens for permanent pitches.How do I fix low water pressure in my caravan shower?Low shower pressure usually results from blocked shower heads, clogged inlet filters in mixer valves, or incorrect water pump pressure settings. Clean limescale deposits from shower heads using descaler, remove and clean inlet filters from the mixer valve, and check pump pressure switch calibration. Kinked or collapsed shower hoses also reduce flow, requiring replacement. Ensure your water system provides adequate pressure for thermostatic valve operation.What components do I need for a complete caravan shower installation?A complete shower installation requires a shower tray, thermostatic mixer valve, shower head with hose, waste trap and drainage, plus adequate ventilation. You'll also need hot and cold water supplies, appropriate water pressure (typically 1-3 bar), and waterproof wall panels or cubicle. Don't forget essential accessories like grab rails, soap dishes, and extractor fans to prevent moisture damage in enclosed spaces.
