I have a 2015 hawk. It came with the "old" Quick Release Shower valves. I lost my shower hose. I would like to replace it but apparently FWC changed the valve and no longer can get me a replacement hose. I looked online and all sorts of RV and hose companies. I cannot find a fitting that fits the quick release. What am I supposed to do without a shower hose? Anyone have a suggestion?

FWC should be able to give you manufacturer's name and contact info for valves for your shower.

Thanks, I actually got the manufacture's contact info from the assembly. The manufacturer doesn't offer the hose anylonger... I guess that is why FWC changed the fitting all together but..... what is everyone supposed to do?

That quick release male adapter resembles a standard compressed air quick release adapter but it is not the same size. In my search, it seems to be a Phoenix shower unit or a Valterra shower unit.

Faucet may be a Dura unit. https://www.amazon.c...k_detail_0?th=1
I wonder if FWC bought the Dura hose assembly & replaced the adapter with Phoenix quick release male adapter?
At less than $15 for one of the Phoenix quick release adapters, it might be worth acquiring one for a test fit and if good, you could build your own hose with a shower head of your choice. Could then insert a shut off valve in line and use it with a shower enclosure of your choice.

Do a Google search for “Spray-away quick connect”. Lots out there.

I don't have a shower but am interested in any efforts to identify the manufacturers of the parts in our campers (and as much detail as we'd need to replace them when necessary)

 

Is this the shower unit we're talking about?  (esimmers tip in the post above led me to them)

I'm now in the same position and wonder if you ever found a solution for the outdated shower hose problem? Mine was stolen out of my Fleet propane compartment along with the two tanks over the winter and I need to replace it. Hope you're still around! Thanks

Not to get rich on this, but I have a shower hose from my 2013 Hawk that I no longer need. I recently converted my original outdoor shower to the current one being delivered. If anyone is interested, contact me and we can work it out.
