Mod to low point drains with mixing valves?

You could extend both hot and cold lines over to the side of your RV and add valves to each, followed by a mixer "Y" fitting with the single hose fitting. Then leave the drain valves inside open and instead use the new exterior valves. But you need the "mixing" section after the valves, not before. Using a "mixing" "Y" to combine the hot/cold drain lines into a single valve hose bib would result in your hot/cold water inside the RV being mixed. You won't get "hot" water at your kitchen or bathroom any more.
I added a male hose fitting to my drain for a free-standing outdoor sink. It is on the pressurized system, and once my outdoor sink/table is set up, I use a short hose to tie it into my RV and open that valve. Now I have running water at the sink; but only cold, as my outdoor sink table only has a single valve faucet.
Easiest option for you would be to install a hose quick-connect at your outside shower at the control valve, not the end of the shower hose. Then you could quickly plug in either a hose or the shower head, and still have full temperature control for either the hose or the shower head.
