After a lot of searching...and a suggestion from someone over on the other Newmar forum...I think I have found the ideal replacement valve for the outdoor shower unit in the wet bay in our coach. YMMV! I have ordered all the parts and they should be here in a few days. Below are links for the full setup.
Valve unit: T&S Brass B-1115-LN Wall Mounted Workboard Faucet with 4
Spout/Nozzle: T&S Brass 034A 90 Deg Swivel To Hose Thread - Cell Phone Carrying Cases - Amazon.com
I plan to mount the faucet unit upside down to get the output side on the bottom, and reverse the hot/cold handles to keep things in correct perspective. That will allow the faucet to fully drain and avoid any water remaining in the valve body when winterizing.
This setup should make for a pretty simple conversion...at least, I hope so. Note that the valve spacing centers are 4" just like the existing shower valve, so it should fit the existing cover. And, the 034A spout/nozzle terminates in a standard hose thread. It will also swivel out of the way, so no clearance issues with the wet bay door.
The selected valve is also available on Amazon, but at a significantly higher price and a more extended delivery time; Prime not available. Fresh Water Systems has them on close-out at what I consider a great price for a quality unit.
