Outside Shower??
On our HC Cougar 291RLS it has the end for something to be screwed to for the outside shower. We will be using this only for rinsing our feet and legs. Will a short water hose and sprayer work or will I need something like this? I cannot check to see what type of threads is on it (9 hours away).

I just bought my 2004 Montana and one of what you show a link for came with it. The previous owner said it was for the outside shower but when I screw it to the shoer valve assembly the connection leaks no matter how tight I make it. I think it' the wrong connector.

That is what I am concerned about. If my memory is correct the connection looks more like one for a water hose.

When I upgraded my indoor shower, I moved the old one (head + hose) to the outdoor shower since it had better flow. In other words, my outdoor shower fixture is very much like the indoor fixture, minus the bath spout.
That’s just how my Passport is. Your mileage may vary.

Now that you mentioned it I have a blue coil hose that came with the Cougar.

The blue, coiled hose that came with your TT is for your exterior shower. On ours, we simply "plug" it into the quick disconnect air-hose type fitting on our Cougar 5th. No need to get any adapters or special fittings to make the coiled hose work.

Will a regular water hose sprayer fit on the end of this?

Our coiled blue hose came with an sprayer (squeeze-the-handle type) already attached. This sprayer does not have a regular, screw-on fitting similar to one that you would use for a garden hose sprayer. Not quite sure what you are trying to accomplish. If you are just going to use the outside tap/shower for rinsing off feet, etc., why not use the coiled hose that you said came with your unit? It should have both an attached sprayer at one end and the correct, push-in fitting at the other.

Mine did not have a sprayer on the one end. I believe it does have the push-in fitting on the other end.

Figures Festus2 got a sprayer for free . not me just, a yard sprayer to the end (standard male hose connection) more options than a bath spray, and cheap!

Tim & Patty -
You should be so lucky! I see by your attached photos that you have a spacious, lighted compartment for your shower connection which is large enough to house your coiled, multi-option shower hose. My compartment, on the other hand, is unlit and cramped, having only enough room for the hot and cold water taps and the plug-in connection for the coiled hose. Since the space is so small, I have to store my coiled hose elsewhere - so many hardships to endure. Oh well, next time we buy, we'll be sure to look for a model that has a large, lit compartment like yours.
I think Keystone took pity on us and threw in the nozzle to keep us happy.

We have the same compartment on or SRX, our quick-plug leaks like crazy, still have not figured out how to stop that.... short of just keeping the facets turned off...
Let me add that we love having the outside setup where it is, the warm water outside shower after a day at the beach to rinse the sand off has been really a great convenience.

My Outback outside kitchen came with a coiled hose for the water connection. but it would be a PITA to have to open the outside kitchen door just to connect it to rise feet. Given the infrequency that it would be used and the low cost of an additional water hose, I would run a splitter off the service pedestal with a spray nozzel on the end. I already carry a spare blue hose anyway. Now, if you are boondocking, this doesn't apply, but for full service campgrounds, it would work fine..

We just bought a montana 3582 and no sprayer on our coiled blue hose. Guess i will check with the dealer or perhaps the factory.

Well now, fine kettle of fish this is! I did not understand what the pretty blue, coiled hose was for on my new to me TT and you all helped me understand. Mine did not come with no fancy yard sprayer though.
So, I did out the fancy blue hose, plug it in and turned on a tap and all is good! Take the hose off because not enough room to store it where it would be used, close up the trap door and the latch breaks! Cheap plastic darn thing. Now, where to get a replacement latch cuz I know that door flapping in the wind at 55mpg is going to be noticed in the old rear view mirror....
