shower spigot and head

We need to replace the shower spigot and head in our 1998 coachmen santara. We have been unable to find a replacement because of the age of the coach. Any suggestions?

    ditto, we replaced the hose with a flexible metal covered one an the head with a decent household type

    the threads are a standard size

  • The age of the coach has nothing to do with it. The same or similar 4" center fittings used today have been used for many, many years in RV's.

    RV Shower Faucets at Amazon

    The Dura Faucet listed first is the one we used as a replacement in our 1995 Coachmen Catalina.

    For a shower head, we like this one from Camco, but there are a number of others readily available as well. It has a "no dribble" shut off...

  • As for the shower head, one word...... Oxygenitics. They work!

    Many RV's for the "last century" have used a 4" on center faucet with a hose for the shower. I am sure with a little effort on your part at your computer serching you will find an exact replacement part, or at least something that will work quite well. Above is a link to just one example.
