Removing Shower Doors

Has anyone removed their shower doors and replaced them with a shower curtain? I hate, hate, hate those shower doors. Did i say hate? Anyway I have a corner tub/shower in my 40ft. Holiday Rambler and want to tear those things out and put in one of those curved shower rods. Any thoughts? I have looked for a shower rod specific to a corner tub unit and am only finding the residential rods. I am going to buy one tomorrow and see if it fits before tearing out the glass doors. Your experience would be much appreciated. Thanks!!

  • The first thing we did when we moved into our condo was remove the shower curtains and put in a door. I have no idea why anyone would want a curtain that always wants to wrap around you.
  • I replaced those terrible accordion curtains with shower doors from Lowes.
  • x2 on the body wash. I switched from bar soap to body wash and it really helps eliminate the soap scum left on the surround. Even if you use a curtain instead of door, it'll help keep the surround clean. We also use "clean shower" spray after every shower.
  • You'll get spots on the door by using soap. Instead, try "body wash", which doesn't contain the product that produces the scum or film left on the door and walls. Sure makes cleaning easier.


    We use the Kirkland brand from Costco, but I'm sure other brands will work just as well.
  • For water spots you might try 'Clean Shower'. Spray it on after showering on the enclosure and also the shower door. It works great.

    Yes, the doors take some effort in keeping them clean but I agree, taking them off will not be good for resale. Curtains are 'old-fashioned'.
  • Why will nobody want a shower curtain? I'm new to my Class A; Is there some benefit to glass doors? It seems to me that the glass doors are noisy, they are horrible to clean the water spots off of, and ugly (my opinion as far as interior design goes). You can't find these or buy these new if someone wanted them?

    Our shower is in our master bath at the very back of the coach. Not in the center of our coach
  • "Carrie S".....Even though you may hate it, I would be careful taking it out. Either save it for when you sell the coach, because no one will want a shower curtain, or put it up for sale, because there are those probably looking for that set up that isn't available anymore.

    If you can't find a shower rod, you might have one made. A local metal fabricator or even a muffler shop could bend you a rod. Add ends and a center support.
