I have a 2013 Forest River Flagstaff Ultra Lite (Right 7500 lbs) that has the shower water valve which I think is incorrect as is backwards like righty tighty lefty loosey which is backwards on the cold side. In other words clockwise on the cold OPENS the valve while counterclockwise closes it. Dealer says it's correct when I questioned him about it. Never head of this before. Any others? Hot side is correct.

Ours is the same way, i'm still not used to it. I dunno why they cant make them the same as residential faucets. I guess we have low end ones

Does it turn ON....cold water flows?
Does it turn OFF....cold water flow stops?

Then it works as manufactured.......turn 'outwards' for ON; turn 'inwards' for OFF

Our Solaire by Palomino a division of FR does the same as yours. I believe they use the same faucet supplier for most of their tub / shower units..... Our previous unit a Shamrock another FR trailer was the same too. We are used to it and seems second nature now.....

What defines 'correct'? :)

I suspect it is 'standard' for these Forest River RVs, so in a sense it is correct in that it is working and is consistent with other FR products. On my RV the behaviour is the same. AAMOF to turn the hot on you have to turn the hot water knob counter-clockwise while, as is the case with yours, the opposite direction on the other knob turns on the cold water. lOW, turn the knobs 'outwards' to turn on, and 'inwards' to turn off.

If it's a single handle valve...it's possible that's correct.
