Bathtub to walk in shower conversi

I have a 2023 ePro 20 BHS that has the "kid size" tub.
I have leg issues and find it difficult climbing in and out.
Thinking about removing the tub and installing a walk in shower.
Has anyone done such a conversion or have any thoughts or tips?
Thanks

I have not heard of that being done which does not mean it hasn't. If I were doing it my first step would be to source a shower enclosure that would fit in the space. JMHO

As Seadog said, first look at the size and see if you can find one that will fit. That could be a challenge, if not see if you can find a shower pan that you can make work. If so they make shower/tub enclosures that can be cut to size. If you can not find a pan that will fit you can have one made. A fiberglass pan can be cut down and made to fit by a fiberglass repair place. Stay away from tile as lots of weight and will probably break down from traveling.
Let us know what you come up with.

Before you buy, measure the clearance between the bottom of the tub and the floor, to see how much room there is under the current tub. RVs have the trap or HepVo trapless trap tucked under there. Residential products may have less room because the trap can fit between the floor joists.
