We used this one for 7 years of full timing: https://www.amazon.com/Oxygenics-264...=rv+showerhead
Now that we have a new rig we will be getting another one.

If you boondock or think you might make sure and get one that has the instant on/off button to save water. Much tougher to take a Navy shower if you have to turn the handles on and off.

we use the Oxygenics has great water pressure and you can shut it of when you are boon-docking to save on water.

Water pressure in the shower
The water pressure at my house will peel plant off the deck railings. I have no idea what the PSI is - never checked it. My shower is great!
For my RV I use an adjustable pressure regulator set at 55 psi. I used a fixed 40 psi regulator for years. I put a oxygenics shower head on my previous RV. It did not turn the RV shower into a “paint peelin’ pressure washer like my S&B shower. I don’t think a shower head swap will significantly change the feel of an RV shower. If you want a “high pressure” shower - better walk over to the campground shower house early in the morning and hope the hot water works.

I'm sure the low pressure is a result of a plastic restrictor in the head. You can usually remove the plastic insert inside the head. I do on any new faucets/shower heads, etc. I install. I haven't bothered on my new 3791RD so not sure how easy/hard it is but it's usually easy.

Many people don't understand the difference between pressure and flow, but you need to in order to solve your problem. "Flow" is a measure of volume of water delivered in a period of time. The poor shower is caused by low flow, as are most other RV water supply problems. "Pressure" is a measure of the force of the water, and it is measured when no water is flowing ("static" pressure). It is true that for a given plumbing system, the higher the pressure, the better the flow. However, there is a practical limit to increasing pressure to improve flow.
Save the receipt for regulators bought at CW or like places.
