Shower pressure and replacing the whole fixture

Just took my first shower in our 2018 Windsport. Low flow of water and only hot water. The supply to the shower hose is only a little thicker than a pencil. It comes out of the fixture with the hot and cold handles so the whole thing would need to be replaced. Can that be done? As is the shower is useless.

Sure it can be replaced, but unless water is leaking somewhere that won't change your problem.

Start with:

Why isn't cold water coming out of the shower control assembly. Is it going in?

May sound stupid but do you have your water pump on?

Agree with Tfryman. Also the stock shower head sucks. Replace it with an Oxygenic shower head. Probably the best for rvs. I have one but I like lots of water when showering. Ive thought about removing the flow restrictor for more water.

I have a 2015 Hurricane that is not much different than the windsport. When I first got ours I had trouble getting cold water and I found a bunch of valves located at the fresh water tank and on mine behind the dresser drawers. I opened one of the closed valves. Call Thor and although quality sucks I have found customer service to be responsive and helpful. I also added the Oxygenic shower head. Still low flow but tolerable for me.

You may also have left the outside cold water on in the wet bay, while the ‘button’ on the handle is pressed...

I removed the restrictor in my 29M and the water flow improved.

We recently added the Oxygenics shower head, and will be giving it a test on our next trip.
But there's a "new kid in Town": the Fury.

Hs anybody tried one of those yet?

Check your water lines for "construction debris" also...little pieces of plastic, saw dust and foam that always end up at the faucet head. Remove all the aerator caps off the faucets and run water through them.

Which Oxygenic head did you get? I am looking at them and many to choose from. May as well get one that someone is happy with. Thx

We have the Ecocamel Showerhead and we like it.

Shower head

WE purchased our 2018 Windsport 29M in July. Same problem terrible shower head pressure. I removed restrictor "plate" from it with very little improvement. Purchased a new shower head at Bed, Bath and Beyond I believe it is an Oxygenic model it works great. Thinking about adding one in the house.
