leaking shower

We have a 2015 Vegas 24.1 and are on a trip. This morning after our showers there is water running to the ground around the drivers side rear wheel. Has anyone else had this problem and if so what is the cause. I think there must b a disconnect between the shower and the grey tank but do not know where to look. Any help would be appreciated.

Did you get the plumbing diagrams from Thor? (If you didn't its in your best interest to do so).

The drain for the shower on the 24.1 snakes around to the wall and into the tank. It is possible that somewhere along that line the drain has cracked.

I have a different model, but in mine there is a panel in the shower pan that can be removed to expose the drain/trap and first few inches of plumbing. My shower pan flexes a little so the first place I would suspect trouble would be at the drain.

There is a pipe between your shower and the grey tank. somewhere along that pipe there is probably a leaking connection between pipes, maybe at an elbow.

Is it a big leak, a lot of water leaking, or a relatively minor leak?

I don't know your MH so I can't be more specific.

I don't know that unit, but I had a similar issue in my class C. Quite a bit of water in the floor
A lot of elbow grease and mineral spirits to remove the shoddy silcone job, and redid all the caulking around the door with a proper non-silcone caulk and elsewhere around the shower.
I've forgotten specifics now, but I think I also adjusted the door a bit....
And haven't noticed a problem since....

My experience is that silicone caulk makes for a poor sealant, and especially if not applied extremely carefully.

Hopefully something like this is your problem, rather than these other more significant plumbing issues....

Sounds like same issue I had. Turned out to be connection at shower drain loose. Under cover with 4 screws. I took out drain piece to put rubber coupling with clamps on it. Being in shower flexes it. I wanted permanent repair. Check all strainers, they loosen up with all the vibration.

Once complete, no more issues. It dripped on top of drivers side spring shackle

My Thor 30.1 leaked over the right rear tire. Mine has a panel about 10x10 in the wheel well to give access to the shower drain. My p trap was cracked. Replaced it with one from Lowes. No more problems. I also replaced the solid cover with a clear piece of plexiglass so I can see inside without taking the panel off.

We had a shower head that could not be adjusted down, shot water out on the floor in the bathroom. Needless to say it leaked through the floor winding up on the ground on the drivers side. I installed an adjustable shower head holder, problem solved.
