A short note about those that have reported an order from the bathroom. Over the rear passenger tires is a square box on the subflooring that has 8 screws. The "P" trap for the shower is in this space. In my rig I had water leaking (we had been using the shower quite a bit that week) around the bath area. I began my search, at first I thought it was the water heater. Long story short, the fitting at the shower had cracked filled up the "P" trap cover and it over flowed and caused the leak to show. Don't know how long it may have been leaking but not over flowing. When I took off the cover I could see where the grey water soap scum had sit in the cover. I always thought something was not right but then the odor would go away, water must have evaporated between uses. I replaced the fitting with a flexable rubber coupling and no problems. The odor was never real bad, my wife thought I was nuts she couldn't smell nothing, maybe I am nuts but I feel better about it now. Undue the 4 screws on the access cover below the shower door, there is a bunch of grey expandable foam (for sound proofing) around the shower P trap. I took the stopper out of the sink to plug the shower drain, filled the shower pan with water, then pulled the plug, water leaked out of the shower piping just above the P trap not a large amount but steady, I could feel it with my hand. Really a flimsy connection, it broke inside the fitting you can not see it from the outside of the fitting. Hope this helps someone.
