And another mod today. I've been busy the last couple days. Think I need a vacation. Retirement isn't suppose to be this much work
Anyways the shower has always been a problem. I'm 6'4". Maria is 5'1". I use the oxygenic shower head. Maria hates it because the water always hits her in the face. So she uses the cheap stock shower head on the bottom bracket made to hold the hose.
So I have to change the oxygenic and cheapy stock shower head after each other shower. Its a pain in the butt
Well amazon to the rescue again

Pretty simple straight forward install. Find center, attach top bracket first. The top has to go on first. The bracket only has about 1/4"-1/2" clearance. Then level and attach bottom bracket.
I didn't use any caulking on the top mainly because I forgot. Water shouldn't splash up there.
I predrilled the bottom bracket holes, squirted caulking in the holes the best I could and caulked the bracket up real good. Then screwed it down.
It feels pretty secure but its an rv so I'm sure it wouldn't take much to rip it from the wall. Only way to really secure it would be to cut an access hole in the wall and use a backing plate. That's a possible do on the 29m because the wall is behind the bathroom sliding door. But for now it secure and looks good
Now the shower head can raise and lower and swivel forward and back. Maria should be happy and now she can use the much better oxygenic shower head.
I might pull out the oxygenics water restrictor for even more water but that might use up the hot water to much. Have to think more about that
I also had to plug the 4 holes left by the stock brackets. Found some white plugs that attach to phillip head screws. Squeezed caulking in and around the holes and just pushed the plugs in with no screw in the hole. should be water tight

PS. I think it took longer to write this post than the install
