Replacing / installing outdoor RV shower

Thanks D.E.Bishop, I had not taken them apart yet, but saw a little leakage, so I was assuming it was best to use some plumbers tape. Maybe loosened up a bit, or dried rubber.

I should explain, we are in a week-long cold and rain spell, so I have not pressed to get in there and start taking it apart. I'm waiting for the weather to dry out/warm up, will probably get a little chance Saturday.

I'm not sure why you would wrap either of the hose fittings. That is a great way to get leaks. I have replace a few in my lifetime and never used any tape on the fittings. The supply line hoses and the hand held shower hose all have o-rings, rubber washers or rubber cones on the lines, those are how the fittings are sealed against leaks.

Thanks for the replies. Yes, I probably only need the hose, and maybe some re-wrapped connections. I decided to go with a replacement in-kind for a reasonable price, to lessen the chance of other leaks, but I agree with the other post, the options were mostly pretty low quality. I'll probably learn from this experience, and I have a lot of RV learning to do! I'm absorbing all that I can, I have a lot of travel and good times ahead of me.

Our previous camper had one like the op described. I replaced the entire valve and hose and removed the door and frame to re-seal the door frame with butyl tape. Also caulked where the inner panel and frame overlapped. Our current camper did not come with an outdoor shower, but I recently rigged up one using a couple of fittings on the low point drain to connect a garden hose. I put a sprayer on the end of the hose that has multiple patterns to choose. Worked great on our recent dry camping stay. I bought one of these shower tents several years ago.http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00KAFFSNO/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1462411846&sr=8-2π=SY200_QL40&keywords=shower+tent&dpPl=1&dpID=51HNFZflPFL&ref=plSrch the two room design is nice and roomy. I cut a hole in the side of it at the hieght of the rv shower valve and hose. That camper is gone, but now I use the hole for the garden hose.

Post a picture?
All the original RV outdoor showers I have seen are piece of junk.
I found on ebay all metal valve with detachable hose. I made pictorial about it in trailer section.

Sounds like all you need to do is replace the hose. It is threaded on each end and hand tight.
