Well, here’s how we fared. Was able to remove the two pieces of the drawer frame and managed to slither back there and shine a light onto the shower valve. There was a Dorman-style plug at the base of the valve that was leaking. I could not turn the plug at all to tighten. So, I wound up applying silicone adhesive.  Not necessarily proud of that solution. But we’ll see. 

Thanks to each of you for this great input.  We’ll try each idea and definitely let you all know how we fare.

Never know for certain where to post a question. But here goes. Hopefully someone else has tackled this issue. The shower drain trap is leaking. Trying to figure out the best way to access the shower trap in our 2009 Monaco Dynasty. Tried accessing through the top but the drain flange is smooth with no notches or crossbars to unscrew the flange.  Shall we enlarge the access beneath the shower to reach the trap or cut out these drawer dividers to the left of the shower and try to access that way?

Thank you, Tom . . . Very nice of you to include those pictures.  Now that we’ve taken the plunge, we definitely want to protect our investment and will avail ourselves of all of the knowledge available in this forum, including the projects best suited for those of us with the Kongsburg set-up.  Much appreciated!

Will do, Frank.  I’ve read but will re-read again.  I didn’t see anything in the past posts that mention to steer clear of temperature extremes.  But please let us know otherwise.  
 

(Also, we did complete the 5-volt power supply fix for the smart wheel.  Appreciate this group and all the helpful posts.)

My wife and I bought a 2009 Monaco Dynasty from a dealer in September of 2023.  We're full-timers and experienced RVers.  Though I researched various motorhomes prior to the purchase, I didn’t know about the potential pitfalls of the Kongsburg system until after we bought ours.  We definitely have the Kongsburg system in ours.  
 

So, if you already own a coach with such a system, what are the best practices to follow to prevent problems.  For example, we keep all seals and caulking maintained to ensure that is no water intrusion—especially in the compartment containing the CCM module.  But what else?  For example, are temperature extremes bad for the Kongsburg system?  We’re in 15 degree lows on some nights in North Carolina but can easily change our travel schedule to avoid such low temperatures.  Just trying to get some straight advice for those of us “stuck” with the Kongsburg.
