2024 Avenue 32 RLS two-piece shower panel leaking between tub and panel

has anybody experienced water leaking between the two-piece shower in there trailers? we have a 2024 32 RLS Avenue with a two-piece shower plastic on the bottom about a foot and a half up from the ground and three-piece fake marble looking surround. notice a slight smell of possibly standing water and went underneath and looked while the shower was running down the Walls and found water finding its way under the three-piece shower surround and down the walls in the underbelly. I crawled underneath and saw water coming down the walls right above my heater and my water heater. check the ground below those and there is actually water there. I could see it running down the walls. has anyone else experienced this? I am going to put caulking between the two pieces and seal it up, but I've heard you're not supposed to do that. anyone else have any problems like this? I'm thinking this will prevent it from getting any water behind the walls anymore. anybody's help is appreciated1000010724.jpg1000010722.jpg

Some thoughts for your consideration,,,
I agree w Midnight Riders caution. Believe you are dealing w leaky plumbing from shower valve &/or your shower head, or the floor drain based on your description & the visible amount of water dripping you saw & pics,,,with the the 2 peace shower set ups the shower walls are not glued to the support wall as walls behind the shower develop condensation forming do to interior temps & humidity differences from the outside conditions & the top of pan gap is needed to allow it to get out into the shower pan,,,
A lot of the manufactures newer have changed over to full residential fiberglass showers to minimize most of the vertical caulk joints & use residential installation methods to help mitigate the condensation. Hope this helps,,,good luck 👍🍀

Yes, our 2025 32RLS has a one piece fiberglass shower. That was a very important feature for me.
