Shower Leak Repair

[GeraldScott]

I have a 2000 Monaco Monarch.

When the shower head is turned off during a shower, water leaks from the bottom of the shower base.

This problem started when we had to change the shower head. I have examined the coach for access panels to the rear of the shower and can't find one.

Does anyone have a diagnosis of the problem and the location of the access panel(s)?

Any and all suggestions are appreciated.

Please clarify.

Is the water coming from the anti-siphon valve and leaking into the shower pan (where it goes down the drain) or is it leaking inside the wall (where it can do damage)?

The leak is evident from under the shower pan. Yes, a chance of damage to the Walls and flooring. I bought the coach used and do not have any of the owners manuals.

Thanks,

Gerald

Contact Monaco at 1-877-466-6226 and have your VIN number handy. They will be particularly interested in the last 6 digits. Manuals are now available for older units. I bought a 2001 earlier this year and I did get a manual but no wiring diagrams. There is a good Monaco group on Yahoo called Monacoers that you can join and get a ton of help. Good luck!!!

Thanks for the info.

This is likely a well known problem - and since it surfaced after you changed shower head/parts, the likely cause is the anti-siphon valve valve for the hand-held shower head and is leaking from the shower fixture - dripping on to the floor under the shower pan.

WOLFE10 suggested this and is most likely correct. Ask me how I know!
