NEW shower door for AS 22FB

[waninae39]

we do not like the cheap folding shower door.
All the new caravel models and the higher end ones use a solid swing door.

since the Bathroom layout is the same as many of higher end modesl and all the ones marked at 22/23, the parts are interchangeable.

i have ordered a new door kit

once it goes in i will post pics and what was easy/hard

I assume you understand that it doesn't have a swing door is because a swing door will interfere with the bathroom entrance door. My 26' has a sliding door for the same reason.

[waninae39]

not true.

the FC and caravel lines with 22/23 models and higher have the same size bathroom as the bambi and past sport. all the cabinet and door locations are the same for those that have a rear bathroom.

thus the shower door is a simple replacement.
its just a higher end feature in those models

this is done to keep AS costs down. the more common parts, the lower cost of doing business

I guess it's a matter of personal preference but I'd take the disappearing shower screen over a door in the trailer. They retail for nearly $200, so I doubt it's any cheaper than a solid door made from a sheet of plastic and some aluminum extrusion. Good luck with you project I'm sure it will look nice!

I will be interested in how this works out. The disappearing shower screen really feels cheap to me, but I will admit it makes sense as far as being space efficient, so perhaps just a matter of getting used to it.

I recall a Colonial Airstream YouTube video where when Patrick was describing the 22FB disappearing shower curtain/screen. In the video he commented that they had never had to replace a sliding shower curtain/screen at Colonial.

Was this curtain/screen replaced due to breaking or personal preference.

The 22FB shower screen is lightweight and does not add weight to the rear of the TT. It is fully usable if you take time to slowly open/close it.

Did you follow through on this upgrade? Would like to see the results, but I will also say after traveling around for more than a month with our FC20, I am OK with the disappearing door/screen. Not really thrilled with the "letting it go to shed water" procedure where it slams shut, but otherwise I think it does make more sense than a solid door and the potential problems with that.

Can the shower door be changed on the 2021 Caravel 19 CB?
