New Tiolet and shower fauset

Well I took the Monty to CW, I had them look at the toilet under warintee it was not shutting off all the way which caysed the bowl to get filled with water plus the ball flush valve was to sensittive, after the service man wrote all the items needed they called Tedford and the told CW just replace the toilet with another, as my luck has it the dont sell the one I had anymore but the one simular to mine had the flush lever on the side of the toiletwhich I didnt like so the let me up grade, they installed it and I got a new toilet, but I did have to pay the extra $$$ amount which was 49.00.
then I put in a new shower fauset with the hose comming out of the bottom insted of the top and its all brass to not plastic like the original I'll post some pictures later, I have to take them first.
I also installed a access door to get to the shower plumbing behind the pocket door. I could not get to the shower plumbing any other way.
new shower head

new faucet with down hose

All together

Access hole for shower valve

Acess hole with cover installed

Don,

Nice work.

Does the new shower head have an easy way to turn it on and off? We do lots of boondocking and not being able to quickly turn the water on or off would be a hindrance.

Thanks.

Yes it does Robbie, If you look at the Wand you will see a knurald knob that turns and it restricts the water flow to a trickle. the only down sid to the wand is that it is heavy and the shower inclosure does not have any reiforcment behind it, so what is realy holding the wand is the shower inclosure and the 1/8th inch wall. if you look at the j peg with the opening you will see that I have added and glued a 3/4 in. piece of ply to the wood paneling which gives the mounting bracket more meat to grab on to for strength.
the factory bracket that is sold as a option is a poor fit and the wand will be fall out on a rough road so I installed a piece of cork to the inside of the holder and thast seemed to solve the problem.

Do you have a part number for the shower faucet that has the outlet on the bottom of the mixing valve I can't seem to find it?
Thanks

Sure here it is off the box.

manufacture is Phoenix
Model 432D Chrome 4" Shower Valve I got it at Camping World.
Lot # 29107

PS the box showes it with the outlet on the top, but seeing that the valve stims are straight, I turned it over and swaped the hot to cold side just incase they use a specal washer for heat which I doubt.
