water leaks onto floor from shower

We just purchased a new Bullet 298BHS and took it out for its maiden voyage last weekend. Overall really love the rig! one thing we noticed was even though we made sure the shower curtain was closed all the way, the water that would naturally get splashed on the shower wall would drip down to the top of the tub and not into the tub but find its way to the floor....this is very irritating! seems like gravity would make it finds its way to the tub. I checked to make sure the trailer was level so I am not sure if this is normal(hope not!) or if I am missing something here.

I appreciate the help/experiences/etc.!!

My Cougar 28RBS sort of does the same thing. We put towels down on the floor and I have ordered these.

X2. Ensure the shower curtain is tucked in behind the shower head hose helps seal curtain against the wall

Our friend's have had this happen with their bullet. They discovered it had to do with the leveling of their trailer. We haven't used our shower yet.

Sometimes the slightest I leveling can cause this. If you put a small bead of caulking there it might work.

I solved that problem by cutting a 5 inch piece of clear surgical tubing and siliconed it from the wall to the tub on both sides. Any water gets re-directed into the tub instead of the floor.I will post a pic when I can..

I had the same problem. Go to a Home Depot and get stick-on corner shields for each end of the shower. Use clear silicone sealant in the inside seams as extra leak protection. Clean the surfaces to stick to with alcohol first and apply when dry. This solved my problem. Good luck.

thanks for all the suggestions
I talked to the dealer and they said not to caulk and that was designed to have a gap between the bottom of the shower wall and the top of the tub....allows it breathe and that the tub molding actually has a lip that goes up behind the wall. They also said the tub may need to be adjusted??? I made sure the trailer was level and it still leaked onto the floor. I may try those doodads from HD after the dealer looks at it for reinforcement.

My simple fix... Clear silicon and clear tubing to buid a lip to keep the water in the tub...
