I thought Chuck had completed this Mod on his Anthem, but I was wrong. Has anybody installed a bib in their washbay? I want one there to use my powerwasher when on the road so it would tap into my on board water supply.

You can connect a "Y" adapter to the fresh water at the reel.

I removed the outdoor shower hose and installed a hose thread adapter. I have had occassionally needed to wash of bug buildup on the front at fuel stops where no water is available. I hookup a 35 ft hose and hose off the front. I use that feature more than the outdoor shower. Below the faucet the hose unthreads and a 1/2 npt to hose thread brass adapter easily threads on. I can restore the exterior shower if I want.

Not quite. That won't get access to the water in his tank, only water from outside the coach.

I would replace the existing outside shower faucet with a Spray-A-Way faucet. This comes with a quick connector where you can hook up a 25' slinky hose with standard garden hose threads. That's handier for washing the dog or whatever than the existing shower with short hose. The faucet will easily replace your existing faucet.

But to run a pressure washer I would also use a standard garden hose and add the quick connectors to each end. That way you would get maximum water flow to prevent starving your pressure washer.

On the next coach I plan on doing the Spray-A-Way setup except I'll also install the RoadWave pressure washer, which will be hard plumbed onto the coach so I won't need the extra garden hose.

What's a "washbay"?

Technically - "utility compartment". It's where the fresh water and holding tank dump valves are found.

Here is a photo on the mod I did on the Travel Supreme...the Entegra will be the same. The furthest hose on the right will be the water tank drain. Tap into that, above the shut off valve with a PEK pipe "T". Run a short piece of pipe with an elbow to a PEK hose faucet bib and make a bracket to attach it to the wet bay wall. Very easy and worked well. I will do the same addition to the Entegra when all of the other mods are completed.

The pump does need to be on for the faucet to work.

The attached photo is the only one I have, and will need to be enlarged to see the detail.

Does your wet bay have a "Dog Shower" (Outside shower source of more water heater complaints than any other part in the RV)

If so you can easily adapt it to a garden hose, If you do not mind a bit of a leak all you need is a brass adapter (1/2 inch to garden hose)

In fact, the brass ones might not leak, a washer would improve that but I've not yet tried one on those occasions.

How to use.

Unscrew hose from Shower head (If needed replace hose and head with the kind you can disconnect) screw onto adapter (Add washer if needed) and open cold valve (or better yet, hot valve) and wash RV.

NOTE 2; Pressure washers must be used with care..
