Fresh water leak near outside shower access

My 2005 Land Yacht 30SO has a water leak when using the city water inlet. The drip is between the back of the rear tire and over the gray water holding tank on the drivers side. I have a feeling that the leak has to do with the outside shower/toilet flushout cabinet and plumbing. We get a wet carpet along the wall of the bedroom near the corner below the TV.
I have tried to remove the access door and aluminum box that the shower valve and flush inlet is housed in to see the plumbing. AS caulked the box in with so much caulking on all sides it doesn't want to pull out, even after removing as much caulk as possible with putty knives.
Anyone have any experience with getting access to the plumbing, inside or out?

It's probably hard piped in the back. Inside access may be your only option.

I just had a similar leak and access was a problem. My carpet at the sofa got wet, found a leak at the brass pressure reduction valve under the stove. It needed to come out (actually was not a necessary piece of equipment if your using a reduction valve on city water hose). Only way to access was to remove the fresh water tank fill which gave us a large hole on exterior for access. Once out, the repair went quickly and exterior access was sealed up.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply.
I was able to remove the outside shower box. It was so caulked in it took a long while to get all the sealant away from the box. Once in I lucked out a found 2 compression nuts on the fresh water supply line that were loose. This is located directly behind the bathroom vanity. It is so hard to see through the opening in the back of the vanity. There are many connections so it was good to have the light and access from outside the MH to repair and test.
Thanks for the replies!
