Adding Outside Shower

Few questions here.
I am possibly looking to add an outside shower to my trailer to help with Sand and other Kid/Dog washing.

I have a 2014 Gulfstream trailer and just to the rear of the Entry door there is a Hot/Cold water line that is capped. Im guessing this maybe a Low Point drain but I was wondering if I could use these as a Shower hookup. I could pull these connection off for winterizing at the end of the year. Is this ok to do?

Also I have a Rear-Spray port on my trailer just above the rear city water inlet. This has never worked for me, I attached the Hose that is provided and nothing, I added a garden hose to the spray port hose and nothing. I have tried to poke the valve to get water to stray out and nothing. Anyone have any other suggestion? Bad Valve? maybe somewhere there is a Shutoff Valve hiding?

    Thanks for all the replies. Lots of info to think about. I really wanted to use the Hot portion of the water if I could and thought since those lines are there than I could just install it there. That being said, I could just Y off the City hose and have a dedicated spray hose its just super cold and Im sure the kids would hate it, but I'm over that lol.

    Also I am very intrigued that the Spray Port on the back maybe a Black Tank flush. They did not mention that at the Dealer and its just labeled "Spray-Port" with a quick connect Female, a Coiled Blue hose with a Hose fitting on the end. Can anyone verify if this could be a Flush? I do not recall if I have tried to use it with water in the tank, usually I am on full hookups and city water is run to the camper. Do spray ports only run off tank water?
    The "Spray Port" is not a black tank flush. It is a sprayer just like it says. It should work either way but try it with the pump and water in the tank and see if that helps.

    You may get better results if you start a new thread in "Tech Issues" just about getting the spray port working.
