Hi new member here I have a 1964 Aloha 13 foot i am putting a shower in the closet , small but better then no bathroom at all . I made a fiberglass shower pan for it and it is installed , my question is what can i use for the shower wall panels .I would like some input from someone who`s used the materials and ideas out there ? I need something light and easy to work with , one of the walls has a bend to it . Shower wall panel will have to be flexible on that wall .

I think the material you're thinking of is F.R.P. (fiberglass reinforced panel). Have you considered making a stencil and creating your own design? Wouldn't be that difficult, and it would something YOU wanted to look at!

That`s a good idea ! I was thinking like maybe a border around the top, but your right a stencil would simplify it . "Thanks for the input" G W

When we did a shower/potty room in Hamlet’s (ham style Compact) large closet, we just used several coats of marine spar varnish on the walls and door and sealed the edges to the shower pan with flexible caulking. It has worked flawlessly for ten years.

Hey thanks for the reply! Well i must admit never thought of that, so what about the the corners of the walls where they meet did you add some martial to it before you put the varnish on ? . In the corners of the walls in my trailer it has a plastic round bead "Thanks much appreciated" G W

Vintage camper framing cannot support a rooftop AC. Those that do it properly use steel supports to reinforce the framing in the AC area. There are a lot of other creative solutions here including in the closet, under the bunk and slide out solutions.

Wouldn't be that difficult, and it would something YOU wanted to look at! Hi I pick up the F.R.P. (fiberglass reinforced panel) today so i believe it will work out ,as far as the air conditioners i am going to go with a portable air conditioners but for now i want to finish the bathroom . I`ll try to load some pictures did not work last time i tried .
