No pressure from my shower
Can anyone suggest why I would not be getting any water pressure from my shower head in my 2013 rockwood 233s?
I took the head off and still just a dribble of water. When I took the hose off it seemed to have a good amount of pressure but it was getting water everywhere so I cut it off.
Is it common for the hose to go bad in these?

Not common, but highly possible. Buy an Oxygenics shower head. They actually do work.

Look inside the show head you removed.
Their may be a small plastic screen inside that needs to be removed and cleaned.
The only other thing is the push button on the head isn't fully on.
Next like they said get a new Oxygenics BodySpa head.

Most likely debris trapped in a screen or narrow orifice.

If you unscrew the hose from the shower faucet, you can check if there is a "water saver" plug up in the outlet. This is plug that has a small hole which will cut the water flow. Hole is only about 1/4 the size of the outlet itself.
On our Lexi the plug was easily removed using an ice pick to pry it out. I have seen other faucets at outlets where the plug/hole was moulded in, in which case you can simply drill it out (its plastic).
We have an Oxygenics and flow still increased by over 50% when I removed that plug.

We have the Oxygenics shower head but still felt the flow was weak. We were recently at an RV convention and one booth was promoting the Fairview regulator made in Canada. We bought it and the difference was remarkable! We also heard many other RVers raving about them. Check it out at: Lead-free R.v. Water Pressure Regulator | Your Trusted Industrial Products Company | Fairviewfittings
It is well worth the cost of $35.

I'm tellin ya all...check for that silly "water saver" plug in the faucet. When I removed it, it increased even the Oxygenics water flow.

low flow
Agree with grumpy the water saver is probably partially plugged. Small oriface to limit flow can get clogged especially with sediment that collects in fw tanks. Especially if the shower is the only place you see low flow. Do you use a filter to fill, or when hooked up to cg water supply.

When we brought our Sunseeker home when it was new,,, we found almost no water coming from the outside shower,,, I ended up removing the shower box,,, and found a crimp in the hot water line !!! When they had installed the box they jammed in and crimped the line !!!

My modification started with the hand held shower head, were the hose connects, removing the water saver, then drilling out the opening on the faucet, so both ends of the hose get adequately water flow increasing the volume of water flow. "Water savers gotta love 'em"
