Black Tank Flush

When flushing my black tank I noticed water running across the top of my storage access directly below the bedroon slide. I removed the panel that surrounds the water connections and noticed a leak where the pipe enter underneath the shower area.

My question is how do I get to that pipe? Do I need to remove the entire shower area or is there an easier way?

When I helped Jay Bird with his leak, the check valve I used a dremel tool to cut a hole in the back wall of the Pantry next to the refrigerator. You might call Keystone service and ask them what they suggest.
Good luck and let us know what you find.

What John said, don't forget to close the pocket door before undergoing any cutting since if it is open it will be directly behind the pantry wall. On our 3400, there was a hole already present that had a vent-looking door over the hole. The leak, as John alluded to, is most likely the check valve that is located between the rear pantry wall and the shower.

Thank you everyone for the advice. I knew I could count on this forum.

Sdunger...what model do you have? I have an '09 3400RL. If I can get to that valve or connection thru the faucet, that would be amazing.
