That's why the Oxygenics shower head (and a few others) will dribble and not shut off completely. The dribble keeps the lines from being back fed from either cold or hot at the mixing valve. Some people complain the shower doesn't turn off completely. Personally I'd rather have the dribble than the freeze or scald. If you leave don't turn off the shower completely, then you won't have the cross flow problem.
Ditto here - apart from the Oxygenics being awesome, it does have that 'dribble' which we find very useful for keeping the water hot as well as giving a little water to lather up better.

I believe that is the purpose of the dribble, and it helps sometimes…
But every RV I have owned with a shower had shower heads that dribbled and some still got hot or cold when turned back on even with the dribbled…
I have always threatened to put a add-on shut off valve on the shower head because a lot of water is wasted due to the dribble… I don’t have much trouble with this trailer doing that, but there is a noticeable difference between the hot and cold water pressures though…
