Newbie build OR buy

Avanti, the biggest hurdle for a self-build is the lack of molded plastic. Some people construct elaborate shower enclosures, but most use curtains.

Yes, exactly. Either of those alternatives seems like just too big a compromise for me. A big part of the equation for us is on-the-road cleaning and maintenance. I shower every morning, and a seamless, corner-less proper shower enclosure is just SO much less work to keep clean than anything that I could imagine building myself.

Somebody should cut a deal with one of the big upfitters to sell their shower enclosure into the DIY market. I guess maybe none of them would be interested, since the shower design is one of the few true differentiators among the brands.

The European market is large enough, I'd think importing a shower enclosure would be possible for one of the online eurovan accessories retailers. Maybe they can't get the price down low enough to ensure they will sell in a timely fashion?
