Changing shower to a bathtub
DW likes a bathtub instead of a shower. SO, how difficult/easy would it be to convert our shower to a bathtub ? Cost ? Thanks for any suggestions/ideas.

It seems there are two manufacturers making RV bathtubs: Lippert and www.icondirect.com. I really like the 42" long Icon, but they don't make a surround to fit it. Had a multiple e-mail session with them. Looks like I'll have to go with the Lippert 40", which is not so heavy (and thus probably not so good) as the Icon. Lippert have 40" surrounds. If anyone has a solution for the surround problem, I'd like to know. I maybe will strengthen the Lippert with fibreglass along the bottom.
I had a session with a fellow RV'er. He has one. He's going to help me and we'll use a professional to move the plumbing. Fortunately, the current surround sheets on the shower are not stuck to the wall, so should be easy to come off.
I told my DW. She is delighted !! I needed some inducements as she has a grand-daughter who wants her to stay home !! Got to fight fire with fire ! She's not that concerned about the hot water. She's a good "makedoer" ! Stay tuned.
