Anyone know if there is a AAV for the shower drain?

I don't believe your shower is going to have an AAV. If you have one, it is going to be mounted above the drain in a sink cabinet or false wall.

Any particular reason you are looking for one?

We had three AAV valves. One under the kitchen sink, one under the bathroom sink and one in the bathroom cabinet where there is a space for the washer/dryer. Since we didn't install the washer we still took the cabinet apart and viola! Another AAV valve! Apparently, the first two weren't bad but this was the source of our stink issues. So with the age of our Bay (2007) we were glad we changed all three. Apparently the one in the cabinet is connected to the shower because the stink was worse when someone showered. Purchased new ones at Lowe's.

I think (not sure) as luvlabs stated that the shower drain is connected to the sink so that AAV valve does double duty. We switched out all three AAVs (including the one behind the washer) and still had a little lingering smell. We weren't real careful about putting a chemical treatment down the gray tank so we started doing that much more religiously and the smell has gone away. The drain in the shower is a pop-up type on our coach so I have gotten in the habit of closing it before we travel. All of this has helped to some degree.

Betting that is my problem, odor from behind wall when running exhaust fans if I don't open enough Windows.

Thanks, Ed

Found the problem, removed panel where washer/dryer used to be, looked down and under shower. Could see a place where appeared not to be sealed, above wet bay area there is a removable panel at the top, put a light in there and could see light getting through under shower. Two cans of expanding foam sealant did the trick, ran fans at full speed for several hours no odor.
Wife happy, very important.
