RV Shower Repair, Pan Replacement & Leak Sealing Repairs
A quiet, dry RV shower makes every trip easier. Soft floors, a cracked shower pan, dripping mixing valve, moldy caulk, or a shower door that won’t stay shut are all fixable.
Traveling RV Technicians (TRVT) provides mobile shower diagnostics, pan and surround replacement, valve and diverter repair, drain/vent fixes, skylight and fan sealing, and moisture control. We stop the leak first, then rebuild with materials that hold up to heat, vibration, and tight spaces—so your bath stays clean and watertight.
Assessment & Common Problems
We start with a targeted inspection and a simple plan. Typical issues:
Hairline cracks and flex in ABS or acrylic shower bases
Soft floor at the pan from water intrusion or failed subfloor
Drips at the shower valve, loose escutcheon, or bad cartridge
Failing caulk at corners, doors, or the pan-to-wall joint
Slow drains, gurgling from bad AAVs, or sewer odor from a dry trap
Leaky skylight flanges or weak bath fan airflow causing condensation
You’ll get cause → fix, parts, and labor in writing before we start.
Shower Pans & Bases (No Flex, No Leaks)
A pan that moves will crack again. We:
Replace cracked ABS/acrylic pans (Icon Direct, Lippert, RecPro sizes) or repair minor cracks with backing plates and plastic-weld/epoxy when appropriate
Rebuild the subfloor in sealed plywood, add full-bed support (foam/mortar or engineered blocks), and shim for level so weight spreads evenly
Reset drains with new gaskets and correct torque—no over-tightening that warps flanges
Add access panels where future service is likely (valves, traps)
Result: a pan that feels solid underfoot and doesn’t creak or flex.
Valves, Cartridges & Diverters (Temperature You Can Trust)
No more scalds or cold shocks. We service and install:
RV shower valves (DuraFaucet, Phoenix, Lippert/Flow Max) with new cartridges, vacuum breakers, and diverters
Thermostatic mixing valves for tankless systems to stabilize temperature
Metal supply adapters, correct PEX support and bend radius, and labeled shutoffs for fast isolation
Tight valves stop drips and keep temperature steady.
Shower Heads & Flow (Comfort Without Wasting Water)
We match comfort to tank size and heater type:
High-efficiency heads (Oxygenics-style) with real spray patterns, not mist
Pause buttons that actually reduce flow during lathering without shocking temperature
Correct aerators/flow restrictors for the heater’s minimum-light requirement
Pair with an accumulator or variable-speed pump to kill pulsation
You get a strong, even shower on hookups or boondocking.
Drain, Trap & Vent (No More Standing Water or Smell)
Fast drains are quiet drains. We:
Reset P-traps or install HepvO® waterless traps in tight cabinets (won’t slosh dry while driving)
Replace failed AAVs, clear roof vents, and correct slope (~¼″ per foot) to move gray water out
Re-bed strainers, swap cracked elbows, and add hair catchers that are easy to clean
Proper venting stops gurgle and sewer odor for good.
Doors, Curtains & Travel Locks
Keep water in and rattles out:
Tune framed and semi-frameless shower doors, replace sweeps, align magnets, and set catches
Install curved or straight curtain tracks with weighted hems and anti-splash returns
Add travel locks so sliders don’t walk in transit
Doors close with a clean click and stay sealed.
Skylights, Fans & Moisture Control
Steam management prevents stains and mold. We:
Replace cracked skylights (Icon/Heng’s/Camco) with fresh butyl and stainless fasteners
Reseal with urethane at verticals and self-leveling sealant on horizontal roof surfaces
Upgrade bath vent fans (Maxxair, Dometic/Fan-Tastic) and verify backdraft dampers
Insulate skylight wells and add drip edges to protect surrounds
Your ceiling stays dry, and fog clears fast.
Water Heaters, Pressure & Stability
Showers depend on the system behind them. We:
Service Suburban (anode rod) and Atwood/Dometic tank heaters (flush, check valves, bypass kits)
Tune Truma AquaGo and Girard tankless for reliable light and steady temps
Verify pressure regulators (45–60 PSI), pump output, and accumulator size to stop cycling
Label valves and directions for simple winterize/de-winterize steps
Hot water becomes predictable instead of a surprise.
