Holiday Rambler shower valve

I have a 2000 Holiday Rambler endeavor 40 ft pdq. I've seen 2 rv techs they can't find access to shower water valve.

Note familiar with your floor plan but my coach has an access cover behind the bedroom pocket door, yours may be in the cabinet/closet back side of valve.

If, your shower is on the drivers side and the slide goes out on the drivers side.

My drivers slide is the kitchen and couch. My slide wall covers the opening leaving about 1” to look in with a flashlight.

I can see the hole that is cut out for access to the shower valve but other than taking the mirror tiles off the backsplash I do not see any access. Between the slide and wall there is a small gap, on mine, that I can see in.

Sorry not much help likely.

Good luck.

Terry

Its what I expected. We are at Freightliner getting service now, I will check when I can open up the slide.
Thanks for the help.

Thanks for those who replied. My kitchen is on the rear of the large slide drivers side.
I took apart the inside of Cabinet under the sink. After that I had to cut the hole you see. Its about 12 in square. Unfortunately the support for wall and junction boxes ran right through the middle. I had to lie on my right side and snake my whole left hand up through the opening.
The worst part was the hot water supply 90 degree faster cracked after I put the new fawcett in.
After some running around, I found a Flair-it fitting with 90 degree angle. I tried to find a pex pipe expander. Not going to that trouble or expense, I found a tool kit for repair irrigation systems, $13.
It took me 2 days to do this. Where I originally took it to be replaced, told me they couldn't find the access. These are experienced people over 25 years, I use them in Tucson every year.
I feel they could have done it, they didn't want to.
I still have to put everything together, going to take a shower first togive it a test run.Click image for larger version

Had too find out what a "pex pipe expander" is.

I would assume that is to get that tight pipe over fittings???? My heat gun works a treat softening up the chore and has never caused a leak, yet.
