How Endless RVing blows trapped water out of their RV shower track with BLOWZER

Full-timers on a desert swing

Endless RVing is the channel of a full-time RV couple who travel the country in their motorhome and report honestly on the parks and resorts they stay at, good and bad. Their late-October episode covers a week in the Coachella Valley: a careful diesel stop near the Arizona line, hikes in Andreas Canyon and Palm Canyon, a first afternoon in downtown Palm Springs, a day in Joshua Tree National Park, a morning at The Living Desert, and the title story, a stay at Shadow Hills RV Resort in Indio, where the manager asked them to go easy in their review.

The job: water hiding in the track

Between the hikes, the camera goes into the motorhome's bathroom. The couple have a house rule: after every shower they dry everything down. He points to the caulk around the pan as proof; there is no mold on any of it.

A sliding shower door still has a weak spot. Water runs into the bottom track and stays there, and the small weep holes that are meant to drain it keep dribbling long after the towel has done its work. "Water gets caught in this track," he explains, "and even though you dry, it'll keep coming out."

His fix is the BLOWZER X6 the channel first showed a while back, now with a new job. "It's a great toy. It's not a toy, it's a tool," he says, holding it up, with its zippered case and nozzles open on the counter.

Narrow nozzle, high speed, hole by hole

He fits what he calls the "needle nose adapter", the narrow nozzle, switches the X6 to its highest speed and crouches at the shower pan while his wife films. Starting at the first weep hole, he works along the track and aims the air straight into each opening. The trapped water is pushed out ahead of the nozzle, and a pass with a towel picks it up.

"You never want water sitting anywhere," he says. Then he shows the track to the camera: "Look, now there's no water. You see, there's no water leaking out."

Before the episode moves on to Joshua Tree, he adds that he has "about 50 other things" he uses it for, which the channel plans to feature in later videos.

Why it matters in a small bathroom

An RV bathroom is a small, closed room with little airflow, and standing water in a door track is where mildew and grime get a start. A towel can wipe the rails, but it cannot reach inside a weep hole. A narrow stream of air clears the channel from the inside, so the track is actually dry instead of only looking dry.

The method is easy to copy. Dry the pan and the door as usual, fit the narrowest nozzle, start at one end of the track and go hole by hole, then wipe up what comes out. The X6 reaches 130,000 RPM in its top mode, ships with five interchangeable nozzles and recharges over USB-C with auto-shutoff, so it is ready whenever the shower is done. The same routine suits any sliding track that collects water, from shower doors to RV window frames.
