We have the 2021 Navion 24V, when new every faucet dripped some.The solution for me was to flush each faucet with plenty of water washing out the construction dust and dirt.

Hi Rewired,
I have seen that drip on many shower heads, but when I replaced the Eagle5's shower head with an Oxygenics, it no longer happens. I guess it is self-draining.
The Shower of Power
Another thing you can do is to lightly wipe your shower head with a towel to break the water's surface tension, thereby getting the shower head to drain-out quickly.
As far as the slow drain in the floor, it sounds like something is wrong. Can you see anything caught in the shower drain trap?

Hi Rewired, Is your rig a BL? BL model has a pump for the shower drain i believe?
I saw a thread on this on the Fit RV Youtube channel. The shutoff valves are designed with a drip, why? I don't know but the answer is replacing the shutoff valve with this found on Amazon for $12. Also have an answer for the cold shock after using these pause valves.
KES Shut Off Valve Brass Shower Head Valve with Handle Lever G1/2 Water Flow Control Valve Regulator Chrome, K1140B-CH

Cold shock solution. The water pressure differs from the hot to cold side which causes the cold to backfill the hot side when the output valve is closed. I opened the hatch below the toilet on my Boldt KL and installed a one way flow valve on the hot side. Cheap and easy!

We need a bit more info to get a better idea of the problem. Since you mention a pump on the drain, we can assume (dangerous?) that you have the BL model but you might confirmthat is what you have.

But if we go with having a pump, some detailsare needed. Does the pump not start, making it possibly an electrical problem?
Or does the pump start but no water moves as if it is a drain/plumbing problem?
Have you done anything to sort it out at this point?

On the drip question, under what conditions? City water or on pump? Does it continue or stop after a bit?

More info needed!

I think he's talking about the shut off button on the shower head not the main valve.

Nope, sorry he's talking about the hose/head drain after use. I disconnect the hose at the fitting and do a fast drain of the hose and head to prevent the slow drain
