The bathroom and shower are a big part of the catalyst that has driven my full remodel project on the Amer8go, it's hard to find a camper bathroom that fits when you're as big as me :p
I own 2 campers with similar floorplans but "somehow" 1 bathroom is way more comfortable than other.
Getting tape measure show 1" of space more here or there, higher shower pan, flatter medicine cabinet, the door opening on opposite side make heck of the difference in comfort.
Badly enough the one with more comfortable shower and sink, has lower toilet, so I am checking if I can fit raiser under it.
I will have to read more about your project. The more comfortable Fleetwood I have had already extensive dryrot damages and the aluminium skeleton was poorly build to start with.
In the past I restored 40 yo Airstream trailer and was really impress with aluminium construction.
Meaning I am considering finding one of those aluminium campers and remodel it with stuff from Fleetwood.
But the older campers were smaller and I got used to Queen bed and slide too much. ;)
I ended up doing two things in the frame up restoration I've been doing to a 1975 Amerigo.
I brought the plumbing inside and expanded the bathroom's foot print (it's a wet bath), the original shower drain was in line to be impacted by the truck's bumper when loading (Apparently trucks in the 70s had lower bumpers than the 80s and early 90s) and exposed to the elements, so I built a raised pan/floor for the new bathroom and am enclosing the area under the floor, insulating it and ducting in heat from the new furnace so that the holding tank is all weather) .
I then built a height extension of the bathroom onto the roof to allow for my 6'4", 365lb frame to be able to stand up fully in the shower.
With the porcelain RV toilet going in, there's a nice standing area ahead of it in the bathroom to shower in.
I kept the sink section from the original clamshell bathroom unit that was way too narrow for my big butt.
