Re: Bidet Reply #2 – May 26, 2022, 08:04:54 am I was wondering if anyone uses them in their RV! We have been considering getting one at home and then put it in the RV when we transfer over.What is the difference in water usage? I guess one could always not use it when boon docking however if that is one's regular style of camping, that would matter

Re: Bidet Reply #4 – May 26, 2022, 05:17:57 pm "I was wondering if anyone uses them in their RV!"Amy, I had LD install an inline fitting with a valve for connecting a bidet in both our 2010 and 2021 rear bath coaches (see photos). The bidet I bought from Amazon (see link below). We do a lot of dry camping and really never noticed the additional water usage as being an issue. Don't get a bidet that uses both hot and cold water because by the time the hot water arrives you will already be finished washing. You will need to plumb into the water line at the toilet for bidet water supply (photo).

Re: Bidet Reply #6 – May 26, 2022, 09:58:43 pm We got Mike Coachman’s bidet and what a difference. Substantially less water per flush because of minimal paper. The black water tank takes longer to fill. We were boondocking at Rincon Parkway and Jalama and got extra 2 days before dumping. 2 Likes
Re: Bidet Reply #7 – May 27, 2022, 09:56:26 pm I once searched for bidets and found that some are just a sprayer hose like the one already on the RV. I just use it for flushing, but have tried it before as a bidet and works just fine 2 Likes

Re: Bidet Reply #9 – May 31, 2022, 10:29:44 pm I havenât been thrilled with the plumbing on the toilet in my MB. Toilet paper seems to get caught up in the pipe elbows and it takes a lot of water to clear it out. I saw the bidet that Mike Coachman linked to on Amazon and it seemed like a good idea.So⦠I ordered one on Amazon and of course the tee adapter that was supplied wasnât the right thread size and the braided hose wasnât long enough. I ended up buying a 1/2 inch male-male-female tee adapter from Amazon for $11 and a PVC ball valve and 4 inch brass riser brass valve and 5 inch brass riser from a nearby Home Depot. Before and after pictures below.Being new to this, I wasnât sure about the alignment of the bidet on the LD toilet, but it appears to have hit the mark. Weâll have to see about getting used to this new method of sitting on the throne 😉Edit: The PVC ball valve had a slow leak at the handle so I returned to Home Depot and bought a brass valve and 5 inch brass riser instead. No leaks now and new picture added 😊- John 2 Likes As an Amazon Associate Lazy Daze Owners' Group earns from qualifying purchases.

Re: Bidet Reply #11 – June 09, 2022, 06:57:12 pm Can’t believe I’m reviving this thread (since we don’t use one), but the new Consumer Reports arrived today and the favorite bidet amongst its readers is the Brondell Simple Spa Thinline. Google that and you’ll find a range of models starting at around $29. There’s even an installation video that (at least on a home toilet) is very easy. — Jon 1 Likes

Re: Bidet Reply #14 – June 10, 2022, 08:01:50 am I have been using bidets since 1992 with no adverse issues. If considering purchasing one I do suggest getting the model that has the spray nozzle rinser feature. Also it is good to clean the nozzle when doing the toilet cleaning. That is all that is needed.
