  This started a few days ago. Shower floor flexes a bit on the far right corner, or maybe I  just started to notice. No idea what's happening. Since the shower empties into the Grey Tank, hoping it is something that isn't broken, and can be adjusted.

  
  

  Got the camper in October, never used the shower. The thought of moisture, mold, etc., going behind the walls, or under the floor, concerns me. I just use the outside shower hose. Looking for a mountable shower tent.
  
  Here is a short clip, I'll include a link when I open a ticket with nuCamp.

  @donmontalvo - let us know what nuCamp decides. 

  
  

  Anyone else out there with a 2024 model with a soft spot on the shower floor?

  Definitely, same spot. We assumed it was normal.

  My guess is that a soft spot is not a good thing. I have a 2018 400. The bathroom floor consists of a fiberglass layer on top, approximately 1/8”, over about a 1/2” layer of closed cell foam insulation, on top of a plywood layer. Below that is the drain pipe and, in my trailer, an Alde radiator. Over time, in my trailer, the foam layer compressed, making a void, which allowed the fiberglass to flex. The latter is meant to be rigid, so eventually it cracked, creating a water penetration issue. My repair is posted on the forum somewhere. Maybe NuCamp has improved their design since then, maybe not. A good way to avoid this issue is to install a teak lattice on the bathroom floor in order to spread the weight distribution of standing in there. There are posts of these on the forum. They look nice!

  I have been looking at the teak mats as well. I don't think the 2022 T@B 320 CS-S has plywood in the flooring system??

  donmontalvo Yeah, mine is in the same area-I didn't even notice it my daughter did and then I felt it. I am thinking it's just a space under there where the gray tank meets a hose connection or something.

  It's on my list to get a response on what the flex means, what it may affect, how to deal with it, etc.

  2024 320CS-S.  My shower floor flexes a little bit in the same area as donmontalvo, Gomers2 and Andrea54 - between the drain and the exterior wall forward of the drain towards toilet.
  
  donmontalvo, any word back from NuCamp?
