Re: [VAL] vexing plumbing leak

[Chris Koehn <timberguides@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well I've found it. It's the shower trap. I removed the access panel in 
front and could just stick my hand down in there. This explains the 
intermittent nature of the leak.
I pulled out the shower pan last year, reinforced it with fiberglass 
and painted it with epoxy paint. I must have damaged something or 
created a leak when I glued on the new PVC drain components.
I REALLY don't want to pull the shower back out. I've overlapped the 
pan with vinyl shower liner- which works well- but which would need to 
be taken back out to remove the pan. YUCK!
Is the trap accessible from below? There's a large sheet metal box 
mounted below the belly skin and between the wheel wells. Does this 
protect the fresh water tank, or? Would it's removal expose my leak? It 
too appears to be a pain to take out, but I'll do it if I need to.

Thanks again- I don't know what I'd do without all of your wise 
council(s)..
