Anyone use small inspection camera to find leaks?

Our 2018 Leprechaun 260 has developed a water leak and looks like coming from shower pan. I have taken panels off inside and can see it is not the drain lines or any obvious water line. Seems to slowly appear when shower water hits wall. Has anyone used a small inspection camera? I think that is my last resort because I see notes to NEVER caulk between shower wall and shower pan. Any help is appreciated

I've used an inspection camera to find narrow down the source of a water leak in my 5th wheel. After using a fair amount of hot water, we noticed some water along the base of the kitchen cabinets at the floor. I was able to get the camera under the Styrofoam insulation on the Suburban water heater and found a slow drip from a weep hole in the Styrofoam. I tore the old water heater out and found that it had a pinhole along the tank seam weld.
I think a camera would help in your case, but thats a lot of area to cover with a small camera. If you could narrow down the area to search, it would help. I'd run the shower for a bit, the try to reach back where you think its leaking and pat the area with some tissue or toilet paper. Pull the tissue out, check it for moisture. Work your way around the base untill you find the leak.

Yes.
I suggest one with display vs using your phone.
I got mine on Amazon. It will also record the video. It was about $75
I can send a link if you have trouble finding one you like.
