Sealing the tub and surround to fix leak
I was able to snap a photo of the back corner of my shower and I can see beads of water running down the corner of the tub. I can not find any visible cracks or calking issues. Rather than guessing it...

Showers in RVs are not caulked and should not be caulked. The floor pan goes up the outside of the shower walls a substantial amount ... at least 6" or so. You'd have to have at least 6+ inches of standing water in your shower for it to leak behind the walls. You'd never get that much water in the shower because it would be out into the hallway by then.
The side walls and the floor pan are built that way to allow for flex going down the highway. I suppose it doesn't really matter whether you caulked or not, but when I see a caulked shower in a RV, I know the owner does not understand RV maintenance.
The only caulk necessary is a bead of caulk laid down when the shower door unit is installed. The sides and the bottom part are seated in this caulk to seal out water getting in between the shower and the shower door frame.
Call your RV manufacturer service department and ask them about this.
