Edge of shower on 23IKSS fills with water to lip.

Just purchase our Roo last November right in time to put it up for winter. While I was sanitizing and testing everything I noticed that the bottom shower door is not caulked (silicon). There is a lip as part of the shower but the water fills up between the lip and the shower stall rail. Does not seem to drain. Has anyone sealed the bottom rail from the inside?

yes, you will get water there but it drain.
I'm not sure if there is a hole for this water to drain or it drains running under the aluminum rail but in ours it drains.
I would look for wood dust clogging something.
Another thing is leveling the trailer: Was the trailer level when you saw this?

The water drain so slowly that 1 hour later it was still there.

As for leveling the trailer was level.

I will see if there is a purposeful drain that maybe plugged.

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, my new 251RKS has an identical shower, and it leaked so bad there that it poured out onto the floor. I re-caulked the entire shower. I had to do the vertical seams twice. I'll test it again next week when we take it camping.

Did you caulk between the metal shower rail and the tub floor? Mine is not sealed there and it looks like they did not do it on purpose.
