Shower curtain

This Extend-A-Shower is the cat's meow of RV shower curtain rods. It allows more room in the shower, and then provides a place to hang wet towels or clothes over the tub, while also freeing up space outside the shower. There are other brands of the same thing. Not sure what brand mine is, but I love it.

X2, one of the best mods I ever did on our old trailer, loved it. You can hang towels on it too for drying. New trailer is a stall with glass doors.

I have struggled with our shower and lack of space, so I ordered a Stromberg curtain rod with hopes that is would extend the curtain and make it bigger. We have a corner shower and it did not work unfortunately. So I looked into the regular cured ones and Bed Bath and Beyond and they will not fit the space. So I got creative one day and came up with a very inexpensive trick using shoelaces and safety pins- it may not look as nice as a extended rod, but there was not permanent mounting or drilling holes on my wall! I made a little video with the tip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXmK3f6ZiDY

The curtain is fine but the little latch to hook it closed doesn't work anymore. If you CAN get it to latch, it wont unlatch and when your naked and wet and trying to get out, it doesn't put you in a happy place.

I love that idea of Extend a shower but we have a class c and I think water would get all over the floor. How do you contain it.

Roy, like the other member mentioned, with the Extenda Shower setup, the curtain stays inside the tub, that is, if you have a tub. We replaced the old track and roller setup that came with the trailer and found another plus with the Extenda Shower is you can drape damp towels over it to dry. One of the best mods we made on our previous trailer. You'll love it if it will work for your situation.

Extend A Shower

Ours doesn't have a tub, so a shower curtain would just fall straight down. Wouldn't work for us but would be a great idea. I'm even worried about just using a shower curtain. Need to put something on the floor to protect it.

Took the accordion door out, and replaced it with a vinyl shower curtain on the inside of the tub, and a nice cloth one on the outside. Used the top bar that the accordion door hung on as a shower rod using nice color matching rings. Looks ten times better and works great.

If you must use a pole, then I suggest buying a curved one. Those RV tubs are small enough, and a little bit more elbow room is always nice.

We had a 3 part sliding glass door on our Greyhawk that was always a pain to open and close, especially if we weren't perfectly level. After having it repaired once under warranty and then 4 more years of hassle, we removed it and just put a shower curtain on a spring rod. Works great.

We too have the sliding glass shower doors in our rig. While they look nice, they can be a pain to keep clean, plus they are pain because one of them keeps jumping off the track when traveling. As you say, they can be a pain to open and close at times. They are still in good shape and look good and work well with regard to showering. However, when they "go", we'll replace with a nice Shower Rod/Curtain arrangement.

How about one of those hotel style shower curtain rods - whereas they arc out over the edge of the tub giving more "body" room. (Sort of the same basis as the "extend-a-shower".) We have that in our stick & brick. The one we have at home has two rods in one unit - one for a decorative outer curtain and an inner rod for the actual shower curtain. I believe that DW bought from JC Penny.

The Extend a shower just pushes the shower curtain out past the tub or shower to give you more room on the top end. The shower curtain stays inside the tub. The top shower rod just swivels in for travel and out for when you are taking a shower.

The curtain is fine but the little latch to hook it closed doesn't work anymore. If you CAN get it to latch, it wont unlatch and when your naked and wet and trying to get out, it doesn't put you in a happy place.

X3 picked up a clear shower curtain from martworld that has the pouches on one side. Works great for storing what nots and all. Curtain was cheap and we trim it to size. The extend a shower is awesome. Gives you plenty of room to shower and folds in when not in use.
