tri fold shower door broke

Our trailer has been all over the country for the past 13 years and never had a problem with the glass shower doors. I would look for the cause of the breakage in yours and fix it.

That being said, I am sure you could get a plastics or glass shop to make you replacement panels from Plexiglass or Acrylic that would work fine and not break as easily. I believe Home Depot and Lowes sell sheets of the stuff.
If they put plastic doors in the rv's people would be complaining about how cheap they are.

Replace with plexiglass.

I've done as the MOD. I've put 30,000 on my 2 year old TT. All roads (and there are some like I10 in La that suck. The important thing that I see is folks not doing the proper set for traveling. Our 3 door shower needs to be locked down during travel. If you don't the doors get really beat up.
Jus saying..........

thanks for replies,Im starting to think it was some railroad crossings that were pretty rough when going over them.oh well

Good luck. One of my triple panels shattered, but it was my stupid fault for forgetting to put the latch in the travel position. Of course, it was the panel with the latch catch so it has a hole in the glass that has to be drilled before tempering.

Dealership said we have to order the complete unit, frame and three panels; $750. I went to a local glass shop that can order just the panel with the hole for about $250, but my measurements have to be precise because of the latch.

I'm thinking about using plexiglass for much less money even though the panel won't match exactly.

How about getting rid of the shower door all together and installing one of THESE a lot of newer high end RVs have them. They will make what ever size you want.

I am happy with our 3 door shower. I don't know of a better system . We love our large shower area with the bench at one end. If there is a better system Jayco will get it.

$338 for the local glass company to repair mine. Now I always check the latch, but also put spring loaded curtain rods in the bottom tracks to be sure.

i think this is the way to go.thanks

We lost one glass panel of our 3-section sliding shower door on our Montana. I am pretty sure it occurred when I sent the trailer's driver's side wheels over a fairly tall curb U-turning back under I-10W service road from the French Quarter RV Park in New Orleans and didn't come back down gently and slowly enough. It also could have occurred on the rough I-10 surface around Lake Charles. The dealer where I had it replaced said it was not an uncommon occurrence, though a search didn't really turn up any similar incidents in the Montana user's group. I have had no repeat incidents, even after driving through Louisiana again, though I now treat it with more respect and we always check out the door after rough roads or similar "curb or pothole" incidents. In case you're wondering, my wife does and always has properly secured the doors when we are underway, but we now place a piece of foam rubber between the sections, which are secured alongside each other when underway. The glass is not as thick as glass shower doors I have seen in domestic construction, probably for weight, and probably "wobbled" against each other causing the failure.
