Steve,
If this coach is like my '73, the sole of the shower is a less than substantial single layer of cop-glass (sprayed on fiberglass). It is supported on the coach floor by a number of "stringers". If the shower drain ever leaked, those stringers may have rotted or they may have moved out of place. If you remove the kick (two screws) from under the passage side of the head, you can see to work in there.
If you go to put in new or more stringers, be aware that the sole of the head is not flat. I suppose it is meant to drain if the coach were ever level. I remember hand trimming them and pushing them into place. (Mine were rotted by a leaky shower drain.) It was not a terrible job and kind of reminded me of boat building.
As said, that sole is a single layer, so don't bother trying to drill and fill with something. Foam would be a really poor idea as you may have to get under there to repair the drain.
