Something to check on your shower head

[Patti Brown]

Heard DH howl as he was beginning his shower. Water flow had stopped completely for no apparent reason. Water flow was fine everywhere else, and there was no water under the coach or in the wet bay. So no apparent leak. Took a couple of minutes of head scratching before we discovered the back of the shower head had a twist on/off flow control valve that was not noticeable (and something about which we were completely unaware). DH had accidentally turned it while adjusting the shower head position.

Though it would be good to share our experience in case it saves someone else some head scratching down the road...

Good to know! I'll have to check that out on our next trip.

Every RV I ever had there was a quick shutoff on back of showerhead. Either a slide switch or rotating knob of some sort.
Easy to miss.

Thanks for the tip!

It's purpose is to make it easier to take a military shower. Just turn the switch off while preserving the temperature setting.

Happened to us as well!

Been there. Done that. Not fun! That cold blast will definitely wake you up.

One of the lies my salesman told me was that the shower head had a valve like that.. Mine did not.. I added one.

I have two heads in my rig, statiinary and hand held as factory equipment. Both have shut off valves, but I usually don't use them.
