:( My shower is leaking somewhere but I can't see a visible leak, the carpet behind shower wall is wet and the paneling is soft on bottom near floor. My husband is worried about removing the paneling because the light switch is also on this side of wall. The shower floor drains extremely slow. How should we do this to find the leak to find out how to fix it. Thank you!

FIRST thing to do is to turn off power to that Light switch, have light oturned on when you turn the breaker off, the light will go off when you turn the right breaker off. Remove the switch cover plate , remove the paneling check all the plumbing in the wall,with shower water turned on and try with just tub spicket on . Check under tub,shower to see if drains are leaking, MOST ALL have access panels that can be removed in order to get to plumbing behind tub- shower unit. IS the trailor still in warranty?? If so call the dealer where you got it.

Thank you! No warranty , we bought new in 2000. Thank you! We will try to see if we can do this alone. We both are not plumbers. Thank you for your help. I am leary about calling in people to fix/repair things because I've had many bad experiences with hiring people to fix things in my house.

Its too bad you have had a bad experience with a few contractors,not all of them(us) are bad,If you can get in touch with a local hardware store/lumber yard/or friend who you can base a good reputable plumber through you would probably be doing yourself a favor.
