Does it leak all the time or just when the shower is used?

Check the water line feeding the ice-maker on the back of the fridge. I had a loose connection there.

If it only leaks when using the shower check the caulking around the enclosure I had that problem as well.

Dane, As I posted earlier check the caulking on the enclosure especially on the right side and along the bottom. I had water leaking there and you could only see it if you looked into that small space between the shower and the wall (needed a flash light). Luckily mine was running out through the hole in the floor where the wires come up and drained outside, but I had a nice "steady" leak whenever we used the shower until I re-caulked everything with silicone.

Dane, Do you have the 35GS? If so the cabinet with the sliding drawers between the fridge and fwd wall of the shower has an access panel to the shower control. You have to remove the drawers to get to it. Possible loose line to the shower head.

My leak there was from the mount for the faucets. I had to remove that and reseal it.

Take care,
Greg

My bad. The head line is external in the shower stall. Still worth a look. Also the drain may need to be resealed.

That appeared to be our problem as well. Jayco sealed off the top of the shower stall and the problem went away. I think I have some photos in the files and I'll have a look and post a link if I find them.

Dane, check the top of your shower and see if it is wide open like ours was. Photo here shows how Jayco sealed it.

Thanks again,

You need to do that yourself. Go to the group home page and at the top is an "edit membership". But you don't have to leave you can still read and maybe even contribute

Bill, you can sign on and then have 2 choices. You can turn off all email and at some future date if you wish turn it on again. Or, you can leave the group. Those are the options you will see when you edit your settings.

Remove the two screws on the fender skirt (front and back) then you can lift the skirt and remove about 12 screws holding the sheet metal over the tires, that will give you access to the shower drain.

That is where we found the water as well - under the fridge.

Good luck finding and fixing. Sure is a PITA.

We had a leak like you are describing, we took it in and the said the connection behind the hot cold valve in the shower is where it was coming from, we were told that if we use a pressure regulator it probably would never happen again.
