Shower stall has 1/32 gap at top of enclosure...

My phone booth sized corner shower was caulked by people who obviously get paid by the hour. It hemorrhaged water at every seam and joint and made a huge mess on my bathroom floor and down into my basement. I removed all the old caulking (which took literally two minutes), and recaulked every seam and joint myself. No more leaks.

It occurs to me that if I want to be able to rely on the proper design and construction of an element in my fifth wheel, I had better do (or redo) it myself.

I also had a gap. Last summer after receiving my TT I noticed water serveral times on the floor in the kitchen figured out water was being splashed up via shower while washing hair and coming down in between the stall and wall. Applied silcone along the gap and never had problems again.

Who says no drywall in a log home? I have lots of drywall in my home, even some against an outside wall. House is right at 30 years old and no issues with the drywall.

Im a shower door contractor, that size gap is not a problem. :)

Ours is not tight to the wall, but there is no gap nor any caulking. We've never had any problems with water getting behind it to my knowledge. Dealer's explanation probably makes sense. I wouldn't worry about it too much. I don't, but that's just me.

My understanding is there is supposed to be a gap behind the wall so water/ condensation can evaporate as air circulates.
