  • That helps allot !
    You mention a 2006 (but no model#), and from what it appears, there are 3 that have “corner” showers that are identical to mine.
    Look at the base of the shower and you might see a vent that you can lay on the floor and look all the way to the wall. If you are hearing a drip, you will see the results there. If its coming from the rear, there are a couple of places to look. I had a pinhole leak from the shower valve that I fixed 2 weeks ago by removing the shower valve plate and getting in there with really skinny arms. Don't expect to see an access plate, sometime they simply aren't there. In MY case, IF I really needed access, I have a wall that can be removed with a little effort, but was able to fix it without having to do that.

    HERE are the pictures once the valve plate is removed. I had better ones more specific to getting in there but already tossed them :(
  • Thanks everyone. I did leave out that its a 2006 Winnie Adventurer. We have been in it first time this year for 3 weeks and just started hearing it. But not all the time, just for a short time either in the night or early morning?? My husband will probably pull the panel off. This is a corner shower so no real access through the bedroom.
    Thanks again
  • Maybe they disappeared ?

    i just went through this a week ago
  • I assume that you have looked underneath the coach to see if any water is dripping out of the coach. If you are certain that water is dripping behind the fiberglass shower, this will almost certainly lead to rot, mildew, mold and can mean a very expensive repair. See if you can pull the shower faucet off and borrow a mechanic's fiber optic camera to look down behind the wall to check for damage. This could have been going on for quite awhile before you noticed it.

  • Don't know what your rig is, but I had the same problem with a 2000 Winne Adventurer.
    I had a single control valve and a shut off on the shower head.
    What happened was water was on at the control valve and shut off at the shower head. We removed the round cover around the control valve and found the plug in the bottom of the single control valve was leaking. Some pipe tape and a wrench fixed it. Hope this helps.
