How do you access water lines behind shower?

Getting ready to travel after cold winter. When filling water tank and pressurizing lines I hear water spewing behind shower wall. I have a 2017 3731FL. Anyone have any suggestions on the best way to access it. Possibly through pantry?

You probably have a failed connection behind the faucet. You might be able to remove the faucet to access that connection. On our rig, the faucet is mounted to a box and you can remove that box to give you more access if that is what you have.

With your model, if the leak isn’t behind the wall at the shower faucet connection, guessing maybe an access panel in the pantry or bedroom. Sans a panel, probably have to take down the coroplast under the bathroom area. Thinking the lines would run under the trailer.

I believe I am correct that your shower faucet is on the bedroom side shower wall. Correct? Wouldn’t seem that there would be any water piping on the pantry side except for the lavatory.

Is water dripping out under the trailer anywhere? If you hear spraying there must be water going somewhere.

Make sure you didn't hook up to the black tank flush instead of the fresh water input.

Which wall of the shower are you hearing water? BB_TX pointed out the shower head (and therefore its lines) are on the bedroom side. But the washer/dryer prep *IS* on the pantry side. If you really were hooked to the input water line and not the black tank line, I would not worry about the black tank anti-siphon valve right now (eventually you will need to know where it is )

I wasn't thinking the anti-siphon valve was leaking. I was thinking of the sound made when the water sprays into the empty tank.

An endoscope is very useful in these situations.
I have used this one with the attached tools to retrieve dropped keys between the planks of a raised deck. I also used it to find a leak in a bathroom shower wall faucet.

Thanks for all the advice. It was an elbow behind the faucet. Easy fix and now ready to roll.

We took our 2023 3123RL out for first trip, this trip was planned to do a shake down to make sure all worked well. I attached the hose to flush out the black tank. Water came pouring out of the top of the pass through. Not sure what caused this. We were only about 3O miles from the dealership in Alvarado, TX, I called them to let them know I was bringing the trailer straight to their shop. We live in Brownwood and I told them I was not going home to back track on the next week to bring it in. Dropped if off late Saturday. I will call Friday to find out what they found.

That sounds like your anti siphon valve failed. Mine failed and water gushed out of a wall behind the shower and ran across the floor.
