When I purchased my used 5th wheel and finally got to use it I found that the shower head did not spray very far. I took it apart a number of times trying to clean it but nothing seemed to help very much. When I was in the Rio Grande Valley I stopped into the Camping World store and decided to find a replacement for the useless shower head.

While looking at a couple of different models I seen the Oxygenics shower head. The concept looked interesting as it said it injects air into the water stream increasing the apparent water volume. Almost sounded like one of those "as seen on TV" commercials and the thing cost $60.00! But I was desperate for something better so I coughed up the dough and bought it. Figured if I didn't like it I could always return it.

Once I got back to the trailer I took it out of the package. It was only then I noticed there was no remote shutoff valve. Oh well, I was already this far, might as well install it and give it a try. There were no problems with the install. The hose screwed on right were the old shower head was and the head fit into the holder that was already in the shower stall. I turned it on to test for leaks and was surprised at the spray it put out, it easily sprayed all the way to the far wall of the shower. Cool, I'll give it a workout this evening.

One of the first things I noticed when I got my 5th wheel trailer was that there was a bit of side to side shaking. The cause of this is that the landing gear that hold up the front of the 5th wheel have no side support which makes them wobbly. Think of a table with no braces on the legs.

I did a bit of research to find a solution and found there are a number of landing gear stabilizing systems on the market. I wanted something that not only took out the shake but was easy to install, easy to use and didn't cost an arm and a leg. I finally settled on the Winfield Landing Gear Cross Brace Stabilizer system.
