Removing Exterior Shower

I do not use the exterior shower on JX450 Full House Fifth Wheel. How can I remove it. The coiled water line and spray nozzle interferes with hooking up hoses through the bottom of the water connection cabinet, and I would like to get it out of the way permanently.

I use my blue hose to supply water to the two tank flush ports. I REALLY like this as I don't have to hook up a hose to do the tank flush. It would be nicer to have a shorter blue hose to make it easier to hook up the water.

You can always make your own hose.

Or even buy a short hose:

(The Amazon links are "smile...." because you can support a charity of your choice with it. Escapees CARE for us.)

I wish I could say I invented this but I did not! It REALLY works well!!! The parts simply fit perfectly.

Yes I could cut the hose and clamp on a fitting but I am not a fan of such. The hose has a quick connect on one end and a male garden hose on the other end.

It has a slip collar quick connect connection. Just push the collar back, unplug and throw away. Thats what I did. None of the hoses or connectors shown above will fit.

"PEX"

Our trailer was delivered with a broken cover for the cold water only 'shower'
DRV sent me a complete hose connection port so I tied it into the hot water line.
The male connectors for the factory ports are available and with pipe thread or garden hose ends.
