Shower Pan to Wall Caulking

BVGray · 04-25-2021, 04:12 PM

I have looked around on other RV Blogs to ascertain whether or not my shower pan needs to be caulked where it meets the shower wall. This is on a 2005 Itasca Sunova 30' Class A. Does it need to be caulked OR left alone since apparently it is made that way so it can be flexible during travel. Does the shower wall go down about 4-6 inches past the shower pan? Lots of opinions on other blogs. Just thought I would check here. Thanks!

I am by far an expert on this. The shower pan should have a lip on it. I do not know how much of a lip will climb up the wall of your unit. The fiberglass/plastic wall of the shower stall will go over the lip and rest on the edge of the shower pan its self. Now for the caulking, I have always read that where the shower wall meets the pan base should be left caulk free. The reason is so moisture from behind has a place to drain down to.

Good Luck
