looking for ideas or sugguestions

Folks,

In our bathroom we only have a normal shower pan with curtain.
The DS takes a shower and it looks like a water park when he is
done. I want to get something to help add a lip to the shower pan
to help keep the water in.

I have seen several home solutions but looking for more ideas.

Thanks

I have seen a shower curtain with a bottom track, the top also curves out for more shoulder room. Might help with the issue. I will have to hunt down the link.

Or, you could add a complete RV shower enclosure like in my Voltage 3200:

For our similar shower, I bought a pair of the plastic tub ends and siliconed them on each end as it would leak some at the ends. Your curtain should go inside pan now and rest on the floor if not then it is mounted too high.

Good old wetbaths! I had a pickup camper many, many moons ago. We rigged an outside gravity shower to use in the warmer months. Camper was on a permanent site.

Even if your shower is not that big and the bathroom not that big...I'd still get a shower door for it.

Most glass shops can make custom to fit your needs.

I had to replace sub-flooring in second wife's house bath cuz the kids wouldn't pay attention to keeping the shower curtain inside.

Today...I won't have a shower that doesn't have a glass door!!!

Just sayin'

That little lightweight Aerolite 213 is no bunkhouse, by any means. But that shower doesn't back down to many in the TT world. (Other than it opens in the wrong direction. But mooning your soulmate isn't necessarily a bad thing)

I leave the front of the trailer a little higher than the rear, gravity helps a lot (shower faces forward)

I have only two regrets when in comes to buying a TT. One is buying a TT and the other is not knowing that a solid shower surround would be a giant pain in the a$$. I have come up with a temporary solution involving para-cord, the tp dispenser, and a chip clip.

Oh, I don't think you should have regrets on buying a TT.

But perhaps the regret should be noting making a list of what is important to you in a TT and then looking at enough TT models to understand what is out there and perhaps get more ideas on what you want.

We bought a Jayco T29A Toyhauler back in 2009 and used it as a started RV. Through that experience we got a really good feel for what we wanted and the Voltage Epic III 3800 met our desires.

The other regret might be recognizing up front that you will have to work on the RV, the list of things that can go wrong is longer than your arm. But that you can handle nearly every one of them yourself, either with your life experiences or by using this forum to ask for help and advice.

Just sayin'
