I have a 2015 31IKE. Every now and then there is water on floor outside the door. Removed handles and cover but can not remove because they just drilled 2 holes for the handles. The backside is finished with no access. The only way I see to replace it is to cut a hole in the back side.

I can't picture what you are describing. Can you post pix and tell us which shower model you have and maybe we can help? Thanks, rockin'

Thanks Rock. My wife found an access panel in the linen closet in the bedroom so I could get to the fittings, no leak there, next I removed the laundry hamper in the bedroom. I could see the backside of the shower stall, no water there. I am going to leave the hamper out for a few days just to make sure. Now I am going to caulk the shower door. If it happens again, we'll take a picture and post it. For now, we're just thankful it's not a cracked shower stall nor bad piping!!!

what bath plan do you have, the home bath with the sliding door or the shower with a hinged door.

We have the same shower set up I believe with the cloths hamper under the linen closet.
The two supply line nuts leak from time to time on ours and it drips down on the inverter in basement.
Our shower door will leak at the bottom corner at the vanity cabinet if too much water gets in the door track.

We have the home bath with the sliding door on the shower and had leak the was at the area where the fixed panel and sliding door join. After every shower there was some water on the out side of the fiber glass base. I found thet the black guide that is between the panel and the door was not sealled and had 2 small holes drilled in the bottom metal channel uner the black guide. I cleaned the channel and put some silcone under the black guide and used larger Stanless screw to hold it in place and now have no water on the floor. Happy camper

Rock, I sent a reply but must have got lost. My wife found a panel in the bedroom linen cabinet for access to the valves and I removed the laundry hamper for access to the bottom. No leaks found, must be the shower door.

Our door gasket has never set too tight. If you point the shower head a bit off, helps some. We also found we were getting major drip from that gasket when door was opened. We just gave up and swipe the floor with the towel. I'm dreading if the safety latch ever breaks, whole door will have to come off. I bet we'll find a " that will do" solution. :-)

After 4,500 mile in 11 weeks I think I have cured all the problems so far, but there will always be more, maybe less often. I purchased my first unit in 77 so I know there will be more. This is a great unit.

Our Mountain Aire used to do the same thing. There's a drip lip at the bottom of the door and as long as you wipe it before you open the door, no more water on the floor. We use either the wall squeegee or one of those shammy towels that they advertised on tv that could soak up anything.
