Dry Camping Shower Valve Replacement

Hey gang,

The rig has your basic turn-counter-clockwise on to cold, further to warm, then hot. No flow rate adjustment.

Specs say the valve is a Moen 62300

With a handle like this.

It's not terrible for hookups, where you can just run the thing full bore until you're done. But it's basically about as bad as you can get for dry camping.

Any thoughts on a relatively easy replacement?

If I had my druthers, I would probably want some version of this Delta, like we have at home. Turn the temp dial all the way to hot until the hot water makes it to the valve. Then dial it in. Then from there you can turn it off while you lather up. Then back on with controlled flow... at your dialed-in temp... to rinse... and repeat as necessary until done.

Here's the valve it uses

But I'm definitely open to other suggestions. Even your classic Delta would work a lot better than what's there. One would just need to try and nail the temp again each time when turning it back on. But at least you could control the flow.
Cheers,
Kendall
