Rwsprague43 Posted August 20, 2016 Posted August 20, 2016 We were very interested in Buzzys post about the bathroom shower rod. Contacted Anita about an install on our order to see if it could be done. The good news was "yes", the bad news was $225.00! I'll be doing something myself.
Overland Posted August 20, 2016 Posted August 20, 2016 What they did for Buzzy is really nice looking, but obviously that hardware is expensive. What they've done in the past is to use a flexible track, so you might ask them about those and why they don't do that anymore. You might try here if you're looking for something less expensive...http://www.curtain-tracks.com If you want the same look as what Buzzy has, you might take a look at www.sea-dog.com or another marine supplier and see if you can piece together what they did and then install it yourself. 1
Rwsprague43 Posted August 20, 2016 Author Posted August 20, 2016 I understand the hardware might be expensive, but that being said, when you're close to 60k it just doesn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling. Really shouldn't be an option. Just my opinion.
Overland Posted August 20, 2016 Posted August 20, 2016 I'm with you. To me, it seems like a flexible track for a curtain that covers both the door and the toilet area should be standard. You need someplace to stash a towel - and keeping the door dry so that it doesn't drip all over the floor when you open it seems like a must. 1
Rwsprague43 Posted August 20, 2016 Author Posted August 20, 2016 Moving "up"from a 2003 -$ 14,000 Casita. It had as a standard feature.
trumpetguy Posted August 20, 2016 Posted August 20, 2016 My wife is pretty talented with a needle and custom fabricated a shower curtain to fit the curve of the trailer. The curtain covers the door, and the toilet area. We bought the track from the above mentioned curtain tracks and stuck it to the fiberglass with Velcro. The track came with slides imbedded into a groove and I attached the shower curtain to the slides with zip ties. We had showers in the Ollie for the first time this Summer and the curtain works great. I would send some pics but the area is so confined I CAN't get a good angle. As far as the price, I agree...they have become rather spendy, but you can buy the base trailer for about $50,000 if you leave off some of the options. I imagine Oliver will keep raising prices until people stop ordering trailers. 1 Current 2007 Airstream Classic Limited 31 2015 Oliver Legacy Elite II (Sold) 2016 Ram 2500 HD 6.7i Cummins turbo diesel
Rwsprague43 Posted August 20, 2016 Author Posted August 20, 2016 I need goodies, but not that crazy. It will give me something to do. You know what they say about idle hands .
Laps Posted August 20, 2016 Posted August 20, 2016 Due to the quality I think they will always have potential buyers, not sure I will ever be able to afford one though.

Follow up on my quest for a "reasonable " priced shower rod. Seems all I need is 3 parts. Marine grade stainless parts for a bimini top. Found everything for less then $60.00. I'm going to take a trip to West Marine here in Miami to see if it's available locally instead of online.
