Upgrade - Toilet - Bidet Wand Installation

2008 Tiffin Phaeton Cl A 40' DP

Some have installed Bidet Toilet seats, this is a Bidet wand

Why install a Bidet or bidet wand. There are different reasons for different people:
- some disabled people have trouble reaching back to adequately clean
- some have conditions like Hemorrhoids or other
- reduce use of toilet paper
- better hygiene
- preference
- other

This has been installed for 6 months with no issues
Installation was amazingly simple and quick
Worst part was just access into the space below the sink
The cost was minimal
Retains the original toilet sprayer for toilet cleaning
Water to bidet wand is thermostatically controlled
Thermostatic valve provides warm water quickly
Valve temp is labeled in Celsius
The bidet wand water can be easily shut off where the hose attaches

I went to their website and didn't see the model you pictured, only the J-hook looking ones. edit: I found the Rinse Works product, looks like you put your system together with 2 products. Question, is the connection on the hand-held wand that connects to the hose the same as the one on a shower hand-held?

We have a hand held bidet now but the design of the hand held is terrible. It uses standard shower hose connections which is why I was hoping the Rinse Works product uses the same connection, it sure looks like it in the pics.

I installed a Brondell Swashlet bidet seat and it was the best decision we ever made. My toilet had some clearance issues so I had to cut off the hump behind the seat but after that it was a 5 minute install. Heated seat, nightlight, preset water temp and pressure, blow dry.

We use almost no toilet paper, flushing the tanks is really simple now as everything dissolves and it leaves you feeling absolutely clean. Great invention.

I have been looking for something like this. I am concerned about male wiener and female vaginal plus anal washing. It has to do all of that plus warm water and drying. Any experience with those requirements?

Unfortunately none of those options will work on the Thetford Aqua Magic V due to the seat design, and it's the only toilet with an 8" rough in dimension so I am stuck with it and a hand held is the only option.
