Has anyone been able to find replacement faucet nuts for a Fontana Outdoor Shower? They will only sell me the whole faucet assembly for about $20 when all I need is one little piece, which will probably break anyway. Perhaps someone on the forum has found a way to re-plumb with more durable hardware.

Re: external shower
Darn Becky, what great idea. To me the "outside shower" is about useless. How do you wash your hands and push the button at the same time?

Re: external shower
Well, I humbly disagree that the outside shower is useless. We use it after we have been to the beach fishing or just getting sandy from laz'n around. It's a lot easier to hose the sand off outside, wash your hands after cleaning fish, etc., then tracking the sand inside the trailer and leaving it in the sinks and shower. And yes, it is great to wash my hands outside after messing with the dump tanks. Keep soap handy also. It is HOT/COLD also, so we like that.
BTW, hello to all. Have not been posting for a long long time. I'm fine healthwise and looking forward to heading back to Florida for the winter. Seriously thinking of selling and moving there perm, but 2 of 4 grandkids still near the old homestead so probably wait until the prices go back up,,,,,ha ha

Re: external shower
Archer, since you haven't been around too much lately, you just have to be told not to say the "B" word on here until Rod (730) has had time to relax with his favorite beverage. The "B" word just sets him off, and he starts pining for that 'thing' that is usually at the edges of a large body of water and has umbrellas and chairs and lifeguards on it.

Re: external shower
Thanks for that suggestion. I can probably just use a couple of brass hose bibs and a Y. The trick will be getting the compartment closed. My shower head was actually quite handy, when it worked; it locks in the on position and hangs on the compartment door for hands free use.

hello all,
I was able to find a generic RV shower at Ace Hdwr, most of the internal components are interchangable with the Fontana brand and look a little heavier duty. This way I didn't have to wait for the part (the cost was about the same as ordering from the factory) and I didn't have to tear the TT apart to replace the assembly.
I'll let you know if the fix holds or if the faucet "blows out" again.
Thanks,
Jim G.
