Help! Leak from shower exiting into the kitchen

Hi everyone! My name is Erin and I’m new here. We recently purchased a 2017 ultra lite 283BHSL from a private party to live in while we remodel and also take on trips of course.

I’m curious if anyone else has had this problem…when showering (mind you it’s only happened when my 6 year old son is in it) water comes out from under the wall at the curve by the fridge. I’ll attach a pic. We found that the seal was broken where the wall and tub meet if you will and completely re-sealed it. Upon today’s showers (mine was fine, and my son doesn’t play with the hose or anything) it leaked a lot, almost all the way to the end of the kitchen when I noticed it. Any advice ?
Thank you!

Leaking water is a tricky question. It leaks somewhere, runs around all over the place and comes out there.

Look further for the source of the leak. Where it comes out is of minor value.

Wait for it to dry. Apply water pressure on suspect area in shower. Look for water in the kitchen. Repeat at other spots.

An alternative method is to get everything wet like taking a shower and removing paneling to trace back the leak. Things like this.

You could have more leaky seals. You could have plumbing leaks in drain, shower hoses, or supply lines as well.

Water leaks are a pain because they can originate just about anywhere other than the location where you see the water. If you shower is like mine the floor of the shower flexes so the leak could be around the drain. Also, try turning on just the hot and cold water, one at a time, to see if the leak occurs, this will tell you which faucet may be leaking; if the leak is in a supply line the water would always be there but that does not sound like your case. Don't overlook the sink in the bathroom the water could travel from there. If there is a maintenance access panel below the shower door then open it and look under there to see if you can get an idea as to the route the water is traveling.
