Shower Faucet

After a week of owning the new trailer (2014 - 3950), wife went to get something from the basement and saw water dripping from the area under the shower... Long story short, I found the shower mixing valve had a crack in it. Ordered a new one from Amazon (exact replacement) and changed it out...problem solved...

Nope, when the daughter was taking a shower, water would leak into the basement again when she would allow water to spray the valve area. I noted when installing, there was no rubber gasket behind the valve, so I put a nice bead of silicon all the way around...

I had to do the same thing with the Keystone Outback we just traded in...when the kids left the shower head on the faucet (head off, but water still on), we would wake up to water in the kitchen, which was eventually traced back to the lack of rubber seal around the shower mixing valve...

Why won't they supply a nice rubber seal? Hard plastic to hard plastic doesn't make for a good seal.

Probably to save money... them fancy pants rubber gaskets must cost at least fifty cents installed!

We also went to Amazon for the exact same shower mixing valve. Ours froze during the first freeze (water in the hose going to shower head). Nice to know this is a freeze point. Now, when I drain/blow out/winterize I don't forget to drain the water out of the shower hose.
