I've showered on my A27, but not in the head (I'm a bit on the 2XL size). I usually make sure no-one's looking then hit the hose in the wheelhouse. Works for me and doesn't scare the natives.

Has anybody tried to install a shower on the tiny head?
More specially, how to drain the water.
thank you
Hangs a shower curtain next to galley. Added a diaphragm pump to drain the bilge. That has a valve and a second hose that tie to a sponge in the bilge allowing me to get it dry.

The deciding factor between them is trailerability. We trailer ours all over. Covered pretty much all eastern inlsnd waterways. Unfeasible with a A27. If you keep it in a marina and dont trailer, you have much more room in a A27

You can trailer an A27, but you need a substantial 3 axle trailer and a similarly robust tractor unit. We actually put Mazboot on a flatbed to haul her round from Deale MD to Alexandria VA, to avoid a 4-5 day trip by sea (yes, it was the wimpy way out but saved a lot of time when we needed it).
