Outside shower conversion to faucet?

I have a typical outside shower as seen in the picture. The shower is located near the outside kitchen. The outside kitchen does not have a sink or faucet. I've been using it like a faucet but would really prefer to install an actual faucet in place of the shower. Any suggestions on what I can use?

that shower heads standard hose & I just changed it to a multi pattern hose nozzle. I can stretch it enough to hose the front cap on jet.

You can put a sink faucet head on instead of the shower head. Any household sink head from hardware store will fit. The ones that have the hose extension on the faucet. All the fittings are the same on RV as in a house kitchen. All you need to do is put the cradle in a position where the faucet aims where you want it.

If you can move the faucet to one side would you be able to swing the spout into the compartment?

I stand corrected. That would work fine.

Look at the way the existing valve set is installed. The water connections are horizontal, not vertical as would be needed for the faucet you chose. You would have to drill new holes in the "box" and plug the old ones somehow. Hopefully there is enough extra PEX behind the box to reach the new mounting position, or you will need to extend them. I think putting a dish sprayer head on the end of the hose instead of the shower head is the best suggestion.


It isn't obvious but look closely, the faucet pictured is wall mount.

I'm thinking about buying the below faucet. It has 1/4 turn ceramic valves and a 10" spout that will be needed since the mount is recessed. The spout will need removed to close the compartment.

How about you take the hose assembly out and put on an air hose quick connect. There are lots of thread and size adaptors for this. Make it rigid and you could rig up a connector with a spout. Take it off when not needed and store it.

There is nowhere in the kitchen area to add a sink/faucet.

There is room behind the existing shower to install a different box and faucet. I hadn't considered removing it all and starting over. I will see what I can find along those lines.

I've considered the fish tables but would still have to redesign things to have both hot and cold water. I wouldn't want to be fussing constantly with two faucets plus I have a table I like

I do like that flexible shower arm, it has possibilities. I was already considering using a bar faucet, that flexible arm with a bar faucet may work.

I really appreciate the ideas, I've been noodling on this for a while now and making do with what I have.

Any other ideas?
