I have a Coachman Amara 450/2 purchased in 2006.
Can anyone tell me how to get a decent shower in the van ? Water does get to the shower rose but only drips out i e no pressure !!!
Both the tap in the kitchen and the bathroom seem to give water at a decent pressure - Any advice please !!

can you get to the underside of the shower mixer to remove the pipes and test how much flow there is before the water enters the mixer? if ok, then the fault is with the mixer. if still poor there then you must have a blockage in those pipes after they split off from the pipes to the basin taps.------------- Jennifer

Is the pump switched by a microswitch on the tap or is it worked by a pressure switch? If it's the former you should hear the pump running. Turn on the shower and then turn on one of the taps that works and briefly stop the flow of water with your finger. If you then get a flow from the shower head it is probably a faulty switch. If there is still little or no flow then there is a pipework restriction or a faulty shower tap.
Hope this is of help

just remembered some shower heads have a turn off and on bezel on the shower head itself,look where the water comes out and see if there is a bezel you can turn. ------------- the only silly question is the one you do not ask.
