External Shower - Jayco have moved it

[albo42]

In case anyone is ordering an external shower, they have had to change the location due to new regulations.

On my model (and others from what I understand), it can't be on the offside of the van on any new builds - they have moved it to the rear wall of the van.

This is because it can no longer be that close to the mains power inlet.

I wish mine was in the back or entrance side. I asked when the layout was put together but they refused at the time.

For me, I think I would prefer for them to move the mains power point than moving the shower to the back of the van that I saw in another thread.

We only use the outside shower when we bush camp and therefore our shower doesnt interfere with the mains but I can see their point

I don't really get it. What about when it rains? surely the outdoor shower is not close enough to cause probs.

AS3000 - 'wiring rules' has a huge number of clauses for location of power to taps.

a specific one is;

Zone 2 for water containers having either a capacity exceeding 45 L,
or a water outlet through a flexible hose, shall be the area limited by—
(i) the vertical plane 0.5 m from the internal rim of the water
container; and
(ii) the floor and the horizontal plane 1.0 m above the water
container.

As the hose can extend towards the power point, does it come within the zoning. The water from the spray head can also be directed at the power point

I'm actually really pleased - its a much better spot to put it. I plan to rig up a bathroom tent off the blank wall at the back.
