bathroom shower head

[rangerjean]

We have a 2018 Forest River Sonoma and and getting ready for our first trip out this weekend. I am sanitizing the tanks per the manual...so turning on all faucets one at a time until not air comes out...check...now the shower will not turn off. The nozzels don't seem to stop the flow to the head. The head itself has a kind of toggle button but water is still coming out...any ideas? I just turned off the pump and went in the house. keeping a sense of humor.

Thank you all for the helpful information

After you get the valves working and are in the market for a really good shower head I highly recommend this Oxygenics.

The valve on the shower head is designed NOT to cut off the flow completely! Reason is that with the shower faucet handles turned, hot water can circulate back around to the tank, filing both lines with very hot water. Then if you are in the shower, and turn on the valve at the shower head, you can get scalded with hot water. So don't try to make that work. It is a safety feature.

I agree with you Dick B. My husband is taking the valves apart right now to see whats up. I am sure they are supposed to shut off flow. He is pretty handy and I am glad we are testing out things before we take off on Wednesday.
I think it will be a priority to replace the shower head and we are still under warranty but I understand that warranty work is quite a process...again sense of humor will be key here

Very strange. If you are handy it's time to take the valves apart to see what is going on. Maybe construction junque is keeping the valves from closing completely. The alternative is to go to your destination and hire a mobile tech to fix the problem that may be $50+ but the problem would be solved.
And it would be of interest to find out what the problem was. Lots of RVers post problems but very seldom post the solution after using all of our great advice.

I've never heard of a shower that had to be turned off at the shower head and not handles on the wall.

they just regulate the pressure and hot and cold but do not stop flow

You said "The nozzels don't seem to stop the flow to the head." Do the valves stop the flow to the head?
