You might fabricate an upside down U shaped cross brace, bolt it to the low cross brace at each side, then cut away the head knocking middle of the existing cross brace.

I'd estimate that this could be done in a couple of hours including a trip to Ace Hardware.

This actually was one of the ideas I did have as well and might be the best and easiest way to go. It looks like the pic above but the roof is pretty high. Not sure why they would have put in a low door.

I can think of 2 reasons. Cost and Weight.

I would go to a shop that makes custom sized shower enclosures and get some ideas on what is available. If the section of the frame above the door is screwed in place, take it to them. Shower door assemblies are often just screwed together and have hidden brackets. You might be able to get some pieces of frame and the necessary parts to modify the existing.

Do you know who the manufacturer is? Our shower enclosure is made by Shower Enclosures of America or SEA for short. If you can contact the manufacturer you may be able to get what you need.

If you have at least a couple of roof trusses above, you might be able to secure something to the ceiling. May not be feasible tho. due to movement of the trailer.

Or as mentioned, make a new inverted U-shaped frame. Unless you can find the necessary shower brackets, if it were me I get it welded up. All depends on how nice you want it to look.

I can fabricate as well, including welding aluminum. I am thinking I might be able to cut out that centre section as well then make a couple pieces 6" tall that go on top of the glass walls on either side then maybe re-attach the centre section to those.

If you can TIG weld then you don't need to be asking for suggestions here!
2 options
1. Duck
2. Make a new top brace that is taller

Get a 1$ pool noodle (available only with summer merchandising after the new year), cut it and slip it over the rail. Save the remainder for other things.

Probably the easiest solution.

Maybe I could wear the pool noodle on my head for being a moron and constantly hitting my head on it lol.

If I hit my head I usually remember not to do it again. Simple answer some bright ribbon taped to the offensive object handing down to get your attention when getting ready to board the shower.

I am 6' and have hit mine before, now I remember to duck!
