would not like an accordion door in a 19, due to the fact that you need all the room possible in order to access the d.s. seat of the dinette.
options: go take a nice shower outside, or bring a outhouse and shower inside.
Problem solved:-)

A large garbage bag is all you need. I have heavy duty "construction grade" bags that slip over the toilet. Then, all you need is a special rack to dry the bag.

They have: clean large garbage bag. That is what we use.
Oops, I see Glenn does the same.

You can get orange 'leaf' bags in the fall if you're looking for something to match the purple shower walls.

Your idea was quite refined, there's was rather redneck.

Hi, Dan!
I haven't installed a shower door myself, but my brother did it several months ago. He is Jack of all trades and it wasn't difficult for him. He found the shower door on https://wonder-glass.ca and it serves good (at least for now). Do you want to install it by yourself?

I'm among those who think that God made wet baths to make cleaning the bathroom (including the toilet) easier while you shower. What is the reason for not getting the toilet wet? This is the first I've heard that it is a concern.

So someone's naked bum doesn't get wet if they sit on it right away, silly!

Installing a glass shower door in a trailer? Makes no sense.

No THIT, trailers are earthquakes moving down the road. I don't care if the glass is tempered or not. Who want's to clean up that mess if it explodes? Certainly not me. I'd rather throw away a garbage bag every time I take shower than worry about stepping on a sliver of glass... nd yes, I know tempered doesn't make slivers, but STILL...
