Default Shower enhancement idea

Since I have never taken a shower in a TM, I can only use my imagination. I guess that it may seem tight as the shower curtain must easily touch the person taking the shower. I woke up this morning thinking of how I could move the shower curtain away, and the idea of hanging something like a hula loop about midway down popped into my head. That would certainly keep it away except possibly for the last part of the legs.

Is this the start of a good idea or am I trying to solve a non-existent problem?

The attachements for your hula would be where exactly? Just another item to carry, assemble each trip. And the hula stores where in the TM? not on the beds? I guess it would be on the floor. I've used my shower a hunbdred times and never felt cramped. Its an RV shower. My sister has a 38ft 5th wheel, the shower is cramped. Now, if you had a upgrade to the shower head, let me know...

The sine quo non shower head for RVs is suppose to be this:

http://www.amazon.com/Oxygenics-Body.../dp/B005G4EO66

What makes it special is that it uses much less water but does not feel like that to the person taking the shower as it adds air to the water stream. So, you can take longer showers and not feel cheated!

I was planning to take a very thin plastic tube and bend it into a circle using a connector (no glue). So, when it is not in use, I can store it somewhere easy by just disconnecting it. I thought I would hang it from the hooks used to hold up the shower curtain by adding some kind of plastic line with a shower hook on the end of it to hold up the loop. However, I do prefer your observation that it is not an issue. But if it is for others, would like your comments as well.

I've done the mod in the thread that Hillbilly references. It's great. Big improvement in the shower. Gets rid of that "shower in a garbage bag" feeling. Not that expensive.

Yes, this is much better. Could not see this before as I am having issues getting the site sponsor flag on my account.

U might want to try the shower first as it works quite well especially with the Oxy shower head, of course it depends on one's size....
