The repair is very simple. The tough part is do you have an access panel to the shower head? I am sitting here wondering where mine is? I have a access panel on the bottom of the shower stall, but I do not recall seeing one for the shower head. (14' Puma 30RKSS). In this case I am guessing the faucet comes off from the inside of the shower. Either way, turn off the water and then let the lines bleed before your start. You may find a home replacement faucet is cheaper and better made than the RV faucet, just watch the hose connection. Twist off the hot and cold. they should be blue cold and red hot, or marked with colored tape. There maybe a twist connector holding the faucet to the wall, remove those and the old should come out now. Reinstall by reversing the process. Clean the old and re-tape with plumbing tape before connecting the water. turn the water supply back on check for leaks, reinstall the cover. I did this on my old trailer, took longer taking the cover off and on then the actual replacement. Oddly enough there was no plumbers putty on the old faucet, and it never leaked. I did not add plumbers putty on the new and it also never leaked. However, it wouldn't hurt to place a very thin bead on the plastic gasket if you choose to. I am sure if you "googled" the internet you will find a video of somebody doing this project. Good Luck to you!
