2011 new horizon 5th wheel. Have had the trailer for 6 months and the shower head leaks when the water pump is on. It just stated on our last trip, also the mixing value leaks a tiny amount. Any ideas

Fortunately you can replace the mixing valve cartridge on the shower

That should fix both leaks

how does it come out, or do you have to replace the whole thing

Basically.........

Turn water OFF...relieve pressure
Remove the 2 screws holding trim piece
Then unscrew the 'nut' /remove 'clip' etc (whatever is holding center cartridge in place)
Take to hardware store to match up

Some single handle cartridges need a special tool to remove usually available at hardware store. You my need to clean the bore with vinegar or a brush with lime away. A little soap to lube on install.

so Old-Biscut said to remove nut then pull out clip. I have removed alot of residential valves and they do have clips. but I don't see a nut on this mixing valve
