Outside shower quick connect?
Is there something i can use as a quick connect for the outside shower? Need a longer hose and going to use oxygenics head. Clearly not enough space to store it in the box. Looking for a quick connect option to the existing hose.

Here is what we use on the Cougar. We just have a regular garden spray nozzle on the hose for washing things (like me) off or rinsing after dumping. Not sure if the Oxygenic head will fit or not though.

Might be an idea, do you happen to have a link to that part?

I use the brass garden hose quick disconnects around the house all the time. You can easily find a couple brass fittings at your hardware store to attach to the hose, then quick disconnect and the head, then quick disconnect.
I replaced my inside shower head with the Oxygenics some years and was worth it. But I stilled used my original hose, color preference. Tan hose with white Oxygenics head.
So my outside shower head is still original, same hose as inside. I hardly use it but its right next to my black tank flush. So to winterize, I took the head to the hardware store. Found the thread size to convert to a hose bib. Remove head, install fitting and hookup to blank tank flush. Now I can pump antifreeze from outside shower to flush relatively easy. You can do the same thing with a few more fittings, might just be a little top heavy.

That is the exact coiled hose that came with my Cougar. So, you might try looking for it at Trekwood. They stock lots of Keystone parts.

By the way I've found that the metal quick connect that comes on the Keystone need to be lubricated occasionally or it's a bear to connect.

Thank you for posting this advice. For months now, I couldn’t disconnect the hose from the metal quick disconnect on our RV’s outside faucet. I don’t know why I never thought to lubricate it, but reading your post prompted me to spray a bit of WD-40 on it and it now works easily. Again, thank you.

I have also used a couple drops of cooking oil. I figured that way it was a good grade oil.

I purchased one of these years ago for use with a regular hose on the outside faucet. Do not remember where I purchased it.

I recently tried to get a quick connect hose as shown however it did not fit. Trekwood wanted like $35 for the hose. You can easily unscrew that disconnect which leaves a 1/2 pipe thread. I then screwed on a brass fitting (1/2" female pipe thread X Male garden hose fitting. Found in plumbing dept. at Lowes, not in garden} Then you can go to any kind hose quick connect or otherwise. I just bought good nozzle and used a 15 ft. rv hose with regular fittings.
