Good morning... I have a 2019 entegra emblem 36u. The drain for the shower is leaking but I cannot find any access panel to fix it. I removed the heater duct on the bedroom wall and peaked in and I can definitely see it dripping when the water is on, but I can't determine exactly who's the culprit. Do I need to remove that wall to gain access or is there an easier way?

Thanks

Does it not have a access panel on side of shower pan? Don’t see how removing a wall would gain access to floor drain. Can you remove the drain screen and tighten up the drain like a S&B drain?

Thanks for the reply. The way my coach is built, the shower and the bedroom share a wall. That is the same wall which I removed the round heat vent and disconnected the duct to see underneath the shower. That is how I know where it's leaking, unfortunately I can't do anything from that small space. It doesn't appear that Entegra installed an access panel. I am going to try and unscrew the drain from the top and put fresh plumbers putty. I'm not sure how it will turn out but it's worth a try. If not the wall will be next option.

Thank you

Eddie

Have you called the manufacture to see if there is an access panel?

Yes but my coach is a prototype so the Entegra rep was unsure. I asked if the production model had an access panel? He replied it should be by the shower pan and if not then no; clear as mud... LOL That's when I decided to start this thread to see if an actual owner or a Emblem 36u could tell me.

Not many here with an Emblem. There are a few Entegras that have had inspection panels under the coach below the shower drain. That would be a good place to look if Entegra does not know. Have someone tab on the drain while some goes under the coach to see there is a panel in that area.

So this is the update. The Entegra Emblem 36U does not have an access panel. To correct the leaking drain issue I had to remove the wall panel on the wall shared with the bedroom and the shower head, to gain access to the plumbing. Pulling the panel off was not difficult but it was still a tight fit. One more connection I will be done. I appreciate everyone's input.

Glad it worked out. I've stood in my bathroom before wondering how I could get to this if I ever needed to.

Glad to know it's simple
