Thanks, Gene. Not sure how to remove that panel on this Clasco. It appears to be one continuous piece that wraps around to the refer compartment with no visible fasteners. There is a removable panel just above it below the door. Perhaps if I pull that I may see how the floor panel is attached.
Is the rubber below the P trap just a membrane sitting on top of the black tank? Is so, dropping a little shower water on the ground once in a while would not hurt. I will try the tightening OS the drain fitting first. If that fails I will puncture the membrane. No sense getting fancier than needed here.
When pulling out after sitting for about 45 minutes in the hot sun we did experience the first signs of vapor lock. Less than a minute on the electric pusher pump solve it. That tank of fuel was Shell from a Tucson station along the I10. We stopped west of Phoenix for the night as the temps outside were pushing over 110 degrees. We will get up early and cross the desert in the cool of the morning. Coach is running great and the temps now well controlled. It is interesting watching the behavior of the new fan clutch. Since it sees air temp mad not water temp there is quite an indicated difference in water temp when the fan clutch does kick in. It is obviously pulling a lot more air through the radiator even when we can't hear it but at times the indicated temp will get up to 208 to 210 before it really gets loud. Most of the time indicated water temp is 195 to 200 or so with the dash air on full blast. Again, I don't know how well celebrated,this after market water t
emp dash gauge and the water temp on the PO installed VIP Sensitor model 1060 might be.

Jerry,
The trim and kick plate below the bath door is removable. If you remove that and pull the carpet and pad back you will have an opening about 3 inches high to access the shower drain p-trap. You "Might" be able to tighten the loose connection through there.
Before doing that try to tighten the metal drain that goes through the shower floor and screws into the plastic p-trap. You can get a tool for this at HD or Lowes.
Or you can try to loosen or tighten the drain by placing plier handles in the cross at the drain bottom and turning the pliers with another set of pliers or an adjustable wrench.
The through the floor drain opening may just need some new plumber's putty to seal it.
If all this fails you can male a hole in the soft rubber dust cover below the p-trap. That will allow the leak to flow out onto top of the black tank and on to the ground. Not a final solution but your carpet will stay dry till you can get around to dropping the tank.
Good luck.
