Self-adhesive Shower Curtain Track Recommendations

[Boilermaker Chemist]

Looking to add a shower track in our new-to-us rig without drilling any holes.  Appreciate any feedback that you can provide.  Thanks in advance!

If your shower track idea doesn’t pan out, alternatively many have installed a shower rod under the cabinet. My install did require some drilling, but much less conspicuous than in the ceiling. A standard curtain is best cut to length for optimum fitment and functionality. The shower curtain can be stowed in the curved corner, used to shade the window, covers the head and towel rack when in use, and provides more space when showering.

We didn’t get the Oliver shower curtain track with our Elite II.  The curtain track is an odd design, seems a bit expensive, and some owners have had issues with the track detaching from the inner hull ceiling because of a poor riveting job.  But we wanted a shower curtain though, so I attached the small Command hooks all around on the bathroom ceiling directly above the perimeter of the shower pan in the floor, and then hung a standard shower curtain on those hooks to take our showers, and easy to quickly remove the curtain to let it dry outside the trailer when done.  It was a cheap and effective solution to keeping the toilet area dry.  And easy to remove it all completely if ever needed.  Command strips/hooks are a great accessory for attaching lot of things on the Ollie interior.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I have to admit, I kind of like that approach.  What is the hardware that you used and where did you buy it?  I guess your curtain doesn't cover the door - do you ever get any leaks into the main cabin?

Thanks for sharing, I was thinking about doing something like this but just with suction cup hooks.  But DW said it would be too complicated putting it up and taking it down each time and be in the way of using the toilet while drying.  Command hooks would definitely be more secure than suction cups and no holes need to be drilled.  I'm gonna show her this, maybe she won't think I'm crazy after all!

Amazon purchases, as shown below. I choose the clear acrylic rod as to not obstruct light from the under cabinet fixture. There is enough room to flip the light switch with an upward facing open hand. I choose clear plastic shower curtain rings, as well. A change of clothes or other apparel can be staged on the toilet seat underneath the curtain when showering. If one has the composting toilet it would be well protected from moisture. The curtain can either be left draped over or tucked behind the toilet to dry. I find it best to squeegee the wet surfaces, then leave the vent fan on with the door closed during the drying process to reduce humidity in the cabin. I have never had a problem with the door leaking during a shower. 
ADDED TIP:  Hooks are placed to each side of the upper cabinet, one for his and her hand towels, and the other to stage a squeegee for the after shower cleanup.

Awesome info, thanks so much!

Full disclosure: I never use the shower 😜

This is my wife’s exclusive domain.

And we have a composting toilet if that matters. 
 

She basically just cut a normal shower curtain in half and put up a few suction cups.

Here it is in “storage” mode and in “shower” mode:

Several years ago another Oliver owner had some vinyl track material left over from a project he was doing and gave me the left over material. I have not looked, but I imagine that the material can be found on amazon. Along with the track material he gave me the plastic pieces that run in the track. I carefully heated the one piece of track that is attached to the curved area and bent the track to match the curve. Both track pieces are attached to the ceiling with 3M double sided tape. The curtain is a standard shower curtain with one upper end cut and hemmed in a radius to match the curved ceiling area. Half of the curtain covers the doorway and the other half covers the toilet area.
