Shower head stop-valve???
Anyone modded their RV to have a stop-valve of some sort installed on the shower head?
My 28BHBE has a nice size shower head, but the thing can't be stopped/paused unless you shut the faucets off!
On my previous TT, you could flip a switch on the head and it would stop the water from running without losing your water settings.
Would be nice to be able to rig something up similarly on this shower head or hose!

This is the way to go IMHO. Best thing we have added to our camper.

You can buy the screw on shutoff valve at most big box stores. I got mine at Home Depot.

As Norty has already mentioned, Home Depot carries one that fits nicely between the hose and the shower head. I put one in my last trailer a couple of years ago and it worked so well we added it to our new HT. Cost was about $5.

I thought my shower didn't come with a cut off valve too, but then I found it. The dial on the outer ring of the head, which I thought only affected the spray pattern, also will shut off the flow when you turn it all the way.
Maybe try that before buying anything.

Ditto on the Oxygenics shower head. The OEM head (Camco I think) had a lever on the head that slowed the flow to a trickle, but was miserable as a shower spray. The Oxygenics won't totally stop water flow, but it's not designed to, should you need a little water to lather up.

I have the Oxygenics RV model which has a push button shutoff. I like it a lot better than the one without the button!

Just a heads-up....., depending on the type of OEM faucet installed leaving the hot/cold open at the faucet and using the shower head as the "water on/off" point could effect the hot water temp at other faucets.

We must be the only people that don't like the oxygenic sprayer. Bought one and gave it away just to get rid of it.

Camco makes a nice adjustable shower head with a thumb operated shut-off in the handle.  One source is www.etrailer.com for $15.95. LW

That's the first thing I did. Local RV store had replacement heads with the slide button valve to shut of the water at the head so you don't have to use the wall valves and the water is always the same temp. no guessing

We have the Oxygenics and like it...the only warning that I have is that when you first restart the flow of water after having it off, it can be hot for the first couple of seconds - point it at the wall. I think that while it is off, there is a pressure imbalance and the hot has a higher pressure coming out of the heater and the first couple of inches of water coming out is pure hot rather than mixed hot/cold.

You can purchase in line valves at Home Depot for $5.
I just bought one yesterday.

we used this - installed between the shower handle and the hose. Works well.

I bought an oxygenics and dropped it as I was installing it on my outside shower stall at my seasonal site. I broke the on/off button. Luckily I was able to just remove the whole on/off button section and reassemble without the on/off button. Man, I was BS when it slipped from my hand, hit the shower deck, the head snapped off and the button flew through the air! Lol!
With a 10 gallon HWH, I would have never used the button anyway.
Did I mention how much I like the oxygenics?
