A little help please ,
Outside shower controls will not move left or right.
Do I push pull ?
Or just twist and brake, which is what I normally do:confused:

Living the dream.
Looks like turn left or right, no indication of pull or push. Most likely seized. Dismantle and clean or force and break? If your lucky it will move. If not (like me) it will break. (n)

Check the plug in fitting to see if there is a valve which would be opened by plugging in the shower attachment.. the attachment may have the on off control and that knob is just temp controll.
That's just another option to explore ..

As said, needs freeing by removing the knob and using grips on the spindle to turn a little in each direction in turn, increasing as it free's off.
If it won't free off it needs replacing....or blanking off.

I have the same and on mine you need to insert shower to operate, as @andy63 said, and on mine the dial is only a temp control but I also have a switch to operate pump

On mine, that I've just looked at as I'm in the van, turns both ways regardless of the shower attachment fitted on or not, I, as already suggested, pull knob off and soak in wd40 and try moving with good pliers, otherwise a new tap is needed...

This looks like a Rapido item - if it is, the knob only controls the temperTure and no amount of twisting it ans turning it will get any water out.
There should be a chrome hose with a trigger operated shower head attachment which clicks on to the outlet above the temperature control.
Once that is in place water flow is comtorlled by the trigger and the knob controls the temperature.

Only any good for washing dogs.
Would you shower in your front garden at home !
I had one fitted , even for the dog I found it a waste of time . I just rinse her under a tap if she's muddy before she gets in the van.

Getting better month by month.
Use my outside shower all the time - Dogs, wellies, outside mats etc or especially if some filthy owner hasn't cleared up after their dog and my shoes find it:mad:

Just break it like the rest of us would, then you can fit a nice shinny new one.:)
Have you seen the price of them :eek: mine sprung a leak on the inside, the pipes are now capped off, total cost £3 compared to £168 for a new one

Anyone no if they do a rebuild kit for them or is it just O rings inside.

I've got an outside shower to wash salt & sand off the kids after a day at the beach - I open the bathroom window and lean out with the shower hose :)

My outside shower is used to wash off the muddy labradors, then the wellies before putting away.
