Installing a tub in an OUtlaw 3611??

[stasha]

Need a tub in our 2012 Outlaw 3611.
I'm trying to gauge the difficulty in doing this.
Has anyone done this?

According to the Thor layout, the shower size is 36 x 24.
Would I just drop a 36 x 24 tub into the present shower, while retaining the whole present shower surround and drain?

What about the front part of the tub that faces the shower door.... Do I need to put in some support or panel to cover this area?

Would I cut the present shower surround to the tub height, then caulk the tub edges, or should I just rip out the entire shower and start all over?

Thanks.

The bigger problem is having enough hot water to be able to put more than a few inches in the tub.
We have a tub but it's not really usable with our 6 gallon Wh.

If you do this please post some pics. I think a lot of use would enjoy seeing your progress!

Good points by you and TeachersPet -- the amount of water needed.
Yes, good idea to put in one of those instant hot water heaters -- takes juice though.
OR, could install a back up 10Gal propane h20 heater, huh.

A change to a demand type water heater might be needed also $$$.
