Shower not getting any water

I have a 1973 Holiday Rambler I know the travel trailers in the 80s had the water line come off the sink fixture mine is in a separate it goes left through the wall and it's all copper piping. And I feel the hot water through that piping until it gets to the pipe that has to go to the shower and for some reason it's not warm but there's no valves or anything stopping the water what could be wrong? I mean could there be that much calcium buildup or something inside ironically both the cold and the warm water line to the shower or what?

I'd remove the shower head and make sure it's not stopped up. If that's O.K., then I'd dismantle the shower valves to make sure they're not the problem.

The shower heads are not the problem. I took off the turn valves and they're all good and I follow the line back through the wall down near the floor under the sink and all this is a coupler and I can feel the hot water coming from the hot water tank but then as it gets closer and closer to the shower it just cools down I don't know if the the pipes are plugged but I've never heard of copper piping completely getting blocked off and a cold and warm what are the odds

Sound like you may have a build up in the line, if it were me I would replace the line to the shower valve. I would replace it with PEX piping, easy to install and is a lot more freeze resistant than copper.
