I know it's been a while on this post but I have the same 26bdh TT and had the same issue. Since I couldn't locate the source of the water under tub and the 8x8 access next toilet didn't give much room for anything. I removed the panel in front of tub very gently to reinstall and expose the bottom of tub and a clear view. What I found was that the platform that FR puts under tub to support the weight is not screwed down so it moves. One the legs fell into the hole where the drain goes down. That doesn't give any support to the tub and thus when standing in tub you're seal of clear sealant around tub breaks and water sips down through there. I put L brackets on platform on two legs and sealed around tub. Installed panel once again. Problem fixed.

Check all the p-traps when you buy a trailer and retighten them, some of mine were loose and the one under the shower had a slow leak from being loose. Also its a good idea to check them occasionally as they could work loose over time with all the road action.

Our 26RL was leaking under the shower on our second trip out. The floor was not supported properly around the drain. It would sag when you stepped inside. Dealer tried to say it was normal. I explained that I had just renovated a house (including adding a full bathroom) and I knew that drain pipes weren't supposed to flex. They added supports under the drain area and retightened the pea trap. We are on our third trip to use the shower and haven't noticed any leakage yet.

Wow literally just noticed mine tonight as I was de winterizing seems to be a big pocket of water and insulation I was tempted to slice into the under coating good thing I looked here first!! I am still under warranty as this it is less than one yr old do you think this is covered and if so I should probably just pull down to them and let them handle it right!?

Yes. Let them fix it under warranty. And insist they replace the wet insulation!!!

It's at the dealer as of yesterday I told them I have a camping trip scheduled on April 14th and they said that's shouldn't be a problem so we will see!!! The dealership also did not seemed surprised and I have the feeling they have made this exact repair quite a bit which maybe means they are good at it by now!! I'm trying to stay positive I know things happen and life isn't perfect so I am just trusting this will be fixed and we can go on to enjoy many years in our camper!!
