this weekend DW asked why the shower panels in the 331 TH12 were not caulked at the top and or bottom.
"I have no idea" was my answer.
She also asked why there was a huge space between teh bottom panels and the base pan.
once again "I have no idea" was my answer.
has anyone caulked the top of the shower panels to stop water from travelling behind teh sheets and possibly creating mould?
what about the bottom - have you caulked there as well?

I would caulked at the top and or bottom if it were me to prevent mold from forming behind the panels ...
Our 384 was already caulked at the top and along the outside of the shower stall an has no gaps along
the top so I am wondering why yours should have such ... sounds like a warranty trip to dealer even
thought I know it's a way to get there along with your other two problems you have wrote about ...

The bottom may not be an issue, water runs downhill. The top is often high enough that water isn’t splashed up there, if that is getting wet you might want to caulk it. Just keep in mind that the panels might need to be removed for plumbing work.
I have seen water get in where the faucets are, so pull that apart as best you can and caulk. Do not ignore this if you intend to keep the RV for a long time.

I caulked everything on our shower when we purchased it just to be safe. Had a trailer leak and didn't know it till it was to late. $6.00 clear 100% silicone will do the trick and you can't even see it.

I too caulked everything when we got our TT. Along the ceiling line, corners, top of tub. Just used matching colored or clear caulking where needed. Under those strips along the corners, ceiling.....caulked everything even along the floor edges.  |
