32QBBS Wildcat shower leaking/leak/leakage

Hi,We have a 2008 32qbbs wildcat and have a constant leak which emerges under the shower base inside the van and also drips doen into the exterior locker.
We have traced the source of the leak to the pipes attaching to the shower taps at rear of shower box.
Can anyone tell me how to get access to the pipes behind the taps so that i can sort out the leaks please?
I can unscrew taps but cannot pull them away from shower cubicle wall.
Hopefully I do not have to pull all of cubicle away from wall to get access to pipes!

We had it too........

You can access the pipes by taking off the square plate that is in the living room area, near dinette. Should be a patch in the shelf that is on the wall.

Ours was leaking through the faucet fixture itself. The only way we got it to stop was by using the correct fixture for a horizontal mount. Forest River used a vertical mount fixture, so the water that pools on the tub area runs right into and throught he fixture. Find an rv dealer and get a horizontal mount fixture, then caulk good around it when you install it.


Ours has been good for a year and a half now.....

I am back in 32qbbs and there is no way of getting into rear of shower area through a plate in dinette wall. there is a small shelf which comes to a height just above floor level of shower. the wall above this is just a wall and has no access plate or shelving at all.
I am still therefore at a loss as to how to access water pipes to rear of shower taps in order to stop leaking.
Any more suggestions please?

The access door should be just below the shelf on the wall.

If you have the half bath in the rear, the TV may be there......we don't have that, just a shelf. Under the shelf is a blank piece of wall paneling that should have a cut out with a square piece of paneling screwed over the hole.


Ours is an '08 as well, so I wouldn't think it is any different.....

If mine was here, I would take a pic, but it is being worked on again....
