I'm beginning to think it's in the shower wall. I'll pull the shower controls before taking the underbelly down. You would think they would do all these units the same, especially within the same model.

It's going to be "somewhere above the level of the toilet", so taking down the underbelly would be the very LAST resort !!! Thinking about it, on some older models with the shower in the corner of the bathroom (or really older ones) that had a bedroom/bath combo, there was an access panel in the living room, on the wall separating the bath from the living room, often in a cabinet with a "false backing" which was actually a removable panel to access the anti-siphon valve. So, go to the "lower level" and look for a cabinet that would share a common wall with the shower. See if maybe there's a 6'x6' panel on the back wall of that cabinet ???? If not, possibly inside the corner space behind the shower faucet. ????

All guesses, but I'm not inclined to even think it would be installed "low" in the holding tank area or in the basement near the coroplast underbelly, as that would defeat the anti-siphon capacity (if the valve failed).....

From what you described I'm going with in behind the shower stall. One of my previous rigs had it there. There was a round cover on the back wall of the shower that you unscrewed and it was in there. At least they had made it somewhat easy to access. If you don't have a cover or as John suggested a panel in the living room or whatever common wall, you might have to take the faucet off to access it. Not the best in design and practicality, but we all know how that goes with these things.

Yes. There is a check valve with a spring inside it and the dripping indicates
that the check valve has seated and then there are passages to allow the
pressure to dissipate otherwise there would be a hydraulic lock. That's your
dripping.
