Water at the bottom edge of my shower!

[jk0920]

I have a small amount of water every time I get out of my shower how do you figure out where it’s leaking? The bottom of the camper is sealed? I may be able to pull the bottom down can anyone help?

First off welcome to the forum where questions can find answers. Forest River is not a brand but owns a lot of different brands of RV's (Cedar Creek, Sabre, Cardinal, Cherokee, Georgetown, etc). You don't specify what your unit is, but I am making the assumption it might be a Sabre 36BHQ based on your profile. Also a picture of the problem would help greatly.

With that said, on our 5er when we took a shower we would have water on the floor. I determined it was coming out from underneath the bottom of the shower door track due to the caulking missing/loose on the outside of the track. The water would collect in the track on the end of the bottom track where it met the vertical track on the wall. Then it would leak underneath the track and leak both ways - back into the shower and out onto the floor where the caulking was no longer sealing properly.

I re-caulked the entire bottom of the track on the outside only and a short distance up the side on the vertical track. No more leaking onto the bathroom floor. You don't want to caulk the inside as you want the water underneath the track to have somewhere to go. Preferably back into the shower area. Generally speaking the shower is one piece with a shower door attached (track & door), so unless the whole shower fabrication has a hole in it water shouldn't be coming from/through it.

Check the caulk around the bottom of the track. More than likely if you re-caulk it, the water leaking out of shower will stop.

Good luck and be safe -
