Glass Shower Walls & Door Removal?
I have a 2003 Storm, 31-A and I hate the small (I'm a big boy) door opening to the shower.
Has anyone removed the glass walls and door and just put a shower curtain in on one of those angled rods? I know, sounds tacky, but I think it would be a lot easier for me to get in and out of the shower without that small (for me) opening......

Sounds like a plan. Can you post a photo for a more detailed evaluation?

Its an awkward set-up to try and fit that shower rod into. I think the though of having that extra room is easier than actually fitting the thing. I would seriously think about getting a consult with an RV business like a CW world tech and figure out if it can be done. "Measure twice, cut once".
