Removing tub/shower unit from '64 Globetrotter

[thethingfish]

Hi everyone,

I just posted on the "Member Intro" thread if anyone is interested... but down to the nitty gritty...

It would appear that two (!) disconnected plumbing lines have contributed to a rotten subfloor in the back of our '64 Globetrotter. I have successfully removed the three piece fiberglass shower/sink/toilet unit, keeping it completely intact.

Once the subfloor has been repaired, our plan is to completely redesign and rebuild the bathroom with new (non-original) fixtures. Reusing the old bathroom unit is NOT in our plans (unless someone here convinces me otherwise).

Which brings me to my problem... for the life of me I can't figure out how to get the tub/shower unit out of the door! It seems that they had to get it in somehow. Why can't I figure how to get it out? Is there a trick to it or is there something I'm missing?

I spent a lot of time and energy to keep the unit in it's original glory. It would be a shame to have to destroy it. Someone please take this hammer out of my hand...

Working on these babies will drive you crazy...
I'm working on a 63 at the moment for someone.
The floor under the bath room has some life in it (barely) and
she does not want to go down the road you're headed so
I'm rebuilding from the bottom....encapsulating the weathered
wood sub floor in epoxy, replacing the elevator bolts across the
rear and rebuilding the poo tank and original toilet (nightmare)
As for getting the various components out of the trailer....I'll get back
to you later today after I've had a look at it from your perspective
keep the faith...they got 'em in so there's gotta be a way!!

My 67 has the same bath I think.
I took the toilet riser and shower pan out as one. The bath sink as another and the wall covering as the 3rd piece out.
Hope this helps.
