Hello, this is our first RV but not my first time with residential home plumbing.

We just bought it (used, looked new!) and parked on our property, completely levelled, and supported, I noticed a trickle of water in the shower area between the floor and face panel (the panel which has the air vent under shower pan) when cleaning the shower. There was no water other than at between the floor & face panel. I wiped it dry, and after a few seconds, more water in the same place.

Looking at the staples which hold the trim, several appear rusty; the trim and paneling are not warped, so perhaps this is a leak that has not happened often for the previous owner.

I wanted to ask if there is a schematic of the drain plumbing under the shower pan, and whether the drain (perhaps it's a regular pvc p-trap fitting) is best accessed by removing that panel, or from under the rv?

Thank you anyone for help!

Jonathan.

Usually, there is an access panel beneath the shower on the interior. Remove that and you should be able to see the plumbing and likely the top of the grey tank that it is plumed into (depending on your model). First step is remove the front panel. If you try to look from underneath you'll have a tough time seeing on top of the tank anyway. It's very possible it's a leak in the drain pipe that you will be able to see. Good luck.
