Hello, it seems there is a leak from the valve - probably not winterized properly (by moi). I've gotten the handle off and the valve screws closed so the leak is isolated, but cannot get the valve out. Has anyone experience with this beast ? Thanks.
 
On my C30 I have to access the valve from the back, outside the shower. We removed the mouse fur panels in the cave to get to it. I was told by a Ranger service rep that the nylon fittings, screwed into the valve are notoriously leak points. This was my situation. We removed the excessive silicon gooped on the joint, and we were then generous with Teflon tape. I hope I don't have to do it again.
 
To close the loop on this thread...Shower valve has been removed and replaced. I purchased a Moen valve ; it is a bit smaller so no fit issues, and reused the fittings on the original valve.
