One piece shower

Postby TCretro » Fri Apr 09, 2021 10:08 am

I have a 7 x 14 v nose CT that im converting to a toy hauler and getting ready to put in a shower. It is a one piece 32 x 32 shower from Acrylx. My question is should I mount it directly to the floor and wall or put some cushioning under it or against the wall. Didnt know what other people may experience with vibration and rough roads. Looking for real life experience. Thanks much. This is a R & R trailer all aluminum with dexter tandem axles. Thanks

TCretro, Howdy;

...and WELCOME to our wee bitty World :lol: . I put a link at the bottom of perhaps the most
thoroughly documented build in basically the same sized CT as you have.
Good luck with your build please document it and share. :beer:

I don't think I have seen anyone on here put a buffer between their shower and the walls and floor. I can't see that it would be that much more, and it will give you peace of mind. So I say go for it. Making our own campers is all about new ideas.

As I think about it, I did put felt chair pads under my plastic water tank and on the side where it is strapped to the wall. You might try something like that.

My shower pan sits directly on the floor/platform. It has its own supports. I did build the platform off the floor a few inches to accommodate the plumbing. I also adhered the shower paneling directly to the plywood.

Good question I'm seeking answers to as well. I have procured but not yet installed a 42"x42" single piece residential neo-angle shower. I was wondering whether that high density polyurethane spray foam concrete contractors use to raise sunken driveways would work to support under the floor? Any thoughts?
