Hi -- my husband & I have been living in a 1974 Ambassador 29' Land Yacht now for 3 years. The shower door is a bi-fold unit made up of plastic, and it is starting to crack and fall apart -- not sure how much longer it will stand up to the daily usage.
My questions are:
Is this the original door?
Is there a replacement or a way to fix it?
If not, what have others used as an alternative?
AIR #0078
'01 2500hd ext. cab, 8.1 litre gas, 5 sp. Allison auto
3.73 rear end
Mag-Hytec rear diff cover
Amsoil Dual by-pass oil filtration system
Amsoil synthetics all around
265 watt AM Solar, Inc. system
We took ours out and replaced it with a shower curtain. I hated the door. Was always having trouble with it. To me it seems like there is more room with the curtain.

How did you mount your shower rod? Is is a simple, straight rod?

I also want to see some ideas. Our bifold is in reasonable shape, I just hate the darn thing. Fully closed is a joke, the sink counter gets soaked. I am considering some SS hand rail tube and end fittings with a bend in the rail to help cover the sink. That and a good cloth curtian would be a huge improvement.

I'm thinking of a simple "L" shaped curtain rod. Attaching one end to the wall and the other to the top of the tambour cabinet. The L shaped rod will follow along the outside edge of the tub then following along the front of the sink counter. This way only the counter to the left of tub will get wet.
Using a simple shower rod will still expose the sink cabinet to spray. I don't like that solution. Sneakinup mounted a "U" shaped curtain rod to the tub. If you haven't seen that setup, do a search for sneakinup and shower curtain.

I had an 87 Soverign that had that awful plastic bi-fold mess of a door. It fell apart one day and I found a real nice acordian shower door at campingworld. It was too wide so I had to take it apart and make it narrow enough for my A/S shower but it worked great...tons better than the old one and it looked nice too!

We have the same model, rear bath '74, and I am remodeling our trailer (actually still doing structural under the bath). We do not intend to put our bifold door back in, you are welcome to it if you want to stay vintage. I would pack it up and ship it freight collect if you want it.
If not, anyone else out there who would like it, please let me know.
