Shower Leak

Question

So I have a leak at the shower drain, I think the p trap threading cracked. I think the factory didn't size everything properly and there is stress on the threaded p trap connection.

Would it be wise to have a plumber do the repair or take it to an rv repair shop.

I have a good shop to take it to, but this really is a plumbing issue and I think maybe a plumber can come up with a better long term fix.

Thoughts?

Mine started leaking last year and it was simply a loose fitting nut. Tightened it and no more leak.

If yours is standard size plumbing pipes and P trap you could probably replace it yourself if it is cracked.

Call a Mobile RV repairman.

In my KZ, the supporting floor under the shower was cut away so poorly that the floor flexed and broke the drain pipes.  The fix was to add support and replace the plumbing.

I have to raise my hand and say that I was responsible for the pan cracking around my RV shower drain.I  started using the shower to store items instead of putting them in the storage bays while I was on the road. The weight and bouncing and the pan flex from not being supported right cracked the drain area.:(

^^^ Exactly what happened to my 2005 Keystone.

I replaced the cracked P-trap with a rubber one from home depot.

I had to remove the shower surround to access it. The whole repair probably took 4 hours (taking my time).
