I have a much more modern rig a 94 Toyota. The shower is just adequate and no extra space to expand.
If you have the space and inclination, go for it! Some of the plastic panels are formable with heat, a daunting task for someone that has not done it, but doable. You may screw up the first panel or 2 but oh well.
Another option is to build what you want with plywood and cover it with fiberglass, I am not sure about the fiberglass bonding to the material that is already there, so look that one up.
I have seen entire showers built in an RV with plywood and fiberglass, then you can go right over it with tile if weight is not an issue.
Make sure there is a shower available, may take a bit longer than you think! Jim
ps Don't use silicone for anything, if silicon is the answer you are asking the wrong question!
