Shower leak?

I had a small puddling problem with my 18SB when I couldn't get it perfectly level due to our spot.

Basically the water would run down the shower wall, then along the wall and pan and out onto the floor. From there it would travel wherever gravity would take it. I honestly thought at first the inlet on the back of the toilet was leaking.

Once I figured out what was happening, I used some tub/tile caulking to create small dams on the bottom between the wall and basin that would deflect any runoff back into the shower.

I have not had any issues since as long as the person is very careful to make sure the curtain is tightly closed all the way around. Any puddles now are the result of a shower curtain not closed all the way.

If the bathroom floor doesn't get wet then check the control.

So, did you open up that wall yet to see the pipes and faucet?

Just to be clear, I'm not talking about the bathroom floor. Where the puddle appears is on the floor in front of the refrigerator.

I had a shower leak it would drain all over the floor and into the basement but I could find the leak anywhere. I figured a crack in the drain pan but upon further review and the help from my wife (she left the water turned on in the shower all night. I found the leak.. It was coming from the faucet in the shower. It was leaking out from behind the faucet facade,down the wall and onto the floor and basement. It was very hard to find and I never would have if it not been for my wife..

Double post

On our 06 Starcraft Travelstar 18sb you ended up with a puddle on the floor from the shower as the curtain doesn't contain all the spray. I caulked all around the bathroom floor, the toilet, and the bottom of the control side shower wall where it met tub basin. This kept the over spray from doing any damage, I then use the towel to clean it up or leave one on the floor to collect it while it happens. For me the shower stall is just too small to avoid the issue.

The 19ck looks a bit different but I'd do the same thing. Seal it up anywhere the water can get under or in the walls. Do NOT seal all around the tub surround, it has to be able to expand/contract, at least that was my impression.

I also had the shower control crack even though I had it full of the pink antifreeze, pretty easy fix.

The plumbing may be cracked inside the wall. If the faucet wasn't winterized properly, they will crack. Is there access behind the faucet to see if it may be leaking there?

a friend of mine, had the same exact hybrid.
i'll ask him if they had a similar problem and if they did, what fixed it.

Okay, so I guess it didn't occur to me that it could be runoff and show up outside the bathroom completely, but I guess if it's running down the side and under the door, it might? I will definitely have the hubby watch next time to see where the water comes from. And maybe lay down paper towels ahead of time to see what gets wet first.
