I have a wet bath with the original diverter-equipped faucet. When I use the shower I get runoff under the coach. I've confirmed the floor drain is okay so I presume I have a leak in the shower line between the faucet and where it comes out of the bath wall. How do I get access to that line?

Remove the light fixture from the right hand side and you can then reach inside and around to the fittings.
I assumed that you have already checked the connections to the faucet.

If for any reason you cannot reach the connections then you would have to remove part of the bed, the water tank and the wall behind the bathroom. But I don’t think that would be necessary.

On mine, the area behind the light fixture was solid fiberglass. I had to remove the medicine cabinet insert. Easy access to the top once that is out. The access to the bottom is through the TP cabinet insert.

As mentioned you have a lot more working room if yo take out the upper bathroom cabinet.
