Cramped RV shower spaces are no longer a problem with the Extend-A-Shower curtain rod from Stromberg Carlson. Enjoy some elbow room while you shower by using this rust-resistant, white powder coated steel rod that extends the position of your shower curtain out from your shower stall. You get an additional 6-1/2 inches to 9-1/2 inches of depth, depending on the width of your shower. Just pivot the Extend-A-Shower rod into the shower when it's not in use so it is out of the way, giving you a little more space in the bathroom. Stainless steel screws are included to secure the rod to the inside of the shower stall so it will stay in place when your RV is in motion.

Increase your shower space with Stromberg Carlson's unique folding shower curtain rod. Easy to use, the Extend-A-Shower offers an instant fix for those tiny, infuriating shower spaces, and the white powder coated steel construction resists rust.by: KSmith02/06/2024
The shower curtain rod was easy to install. Add I the extra few inches of elbow room in the rv shower has been a big improvement.
by: Brian04/24/2018
The straight factory curtain rod in our travel trailer made for a miserable showering experience. I was initially looking for a curved rod, but noticed this one during my search. It has made showering much easier and the ability to flip it inside is great for saving space and drying swimwear over the tub. Product quality is very good and installation was easy. Stainless screws to attach this to the wall are included here as well.
Big thanks to George at etrailer as he did a fantastic job with following up on the order and even sent me an email when the product was delivered at my door. What a great personal touch!

Good fit easy install works as described. Curtin doesn't rub on my shoulders anymore
by: Robert06/27/2019
Received on time and in good condition. Easy to install and works great. Made a small shower a lot easier to use.
by: Paul11/03/2022
we love the curtain rod. The only thing that would have been better is to have had a instruction sheet included with the rod rather than having to look it up on [online].
by: Dawnita West03/23/2017
We absolutely love this shower curtain rod. It was perfect! Gave us the extra room we needed to take a shower and feel clean when done. With our old shower curtain rod, the shower curtain would stick to you while you were showering because the space was so small, but now it doesn't. Well worth every penny spent!
by: Mark 02/10/2020
Product works well in my 36 inch shower. The assembly is very easy for one person.
For an easier install remove one bracket from the arm install that on the wall do the same on the other side and then reattach the middle bar install time 15 minutes.
by: Steve G.10/15/2012
Great product - makes you feel like you can take a shower instead of trying to get clean in a cereal box. Great value - getting a wider curtain may help keep a little more water in.
by: Bobbyg03/28/2017
Bought two extend a shower kits to custom fit my corner shower in my Lance 1995, a mod done by another owner. I haven't done the mod yet. eTrailer had all the parts I needed and shipped quickly.
by: Andy B03/23/2017
this is so nice it makes the shower seem much bigger and couldn't have been easer to install and it pushes in over the tub when not in use great place to hang that dripping rain coat swim suit are just laundry you need and had to wash while camping
by: AJ Smith09/28/2017
Works as advertised. Seems well made. Add a ton of room both inside and outside the shower.
by: George05/25/2016
Just received the product, it looks like is exactly what I need.
We are seasonal campers and I was amazed how fast the order was delivered to our campground in the Smokies.
I am a big guy and now look forward to not having the shower curtain capture me like fly paper.

Had one of these in a camper I traded in. Liked it so much, I ordered another for the new camper. Does exactly what it advertises.......more elbow room!
by: Matt05/30/2016
Loved this product for the two months I owned the trailer after installing. Can't say anything as far as longevity of the product.
by: Michael01/24/2018
I had to extend both ends to meet our application but it works great.
by: Marion K07/14/2017
Haven't tried them yet, but they look sturdy.
Loved the shower curtain rod that also came with this order!
by: Michael 10/02/2021
My RV shower went from barely having enough room to stand in there to having tons of space.
by: Gordon04/09/2013
looks well made, all metal, but havent installed yet, too cold yet.
anxious to see extra room in shower and operation.
by: Jan04/11/2019
I think I’ll like it after I get over how difficult it was to install. Overview should state not to try this without help. Truly needs at least four hands.
by: Duane S08/23/2019
Being a big guy in a small shower it works great giving that extra space needed.
by: Roger11/24/2021
I am seeing a remarkable improvement in turn around time. Great job you guys and will be buying more from etrailer and less from [online store].

- Smallest Shower Curtain Rod Availability The smallest shower curtain rod we offer is the Stromberg Carlson Extend-A-Shower Shower Curtain Rod part # EXT-3542ORB for bronze, part # EXT-3542 for white, or part # EXT-3542S for satin. This shower curtain rod extends from 35" to 42". If you altered the attachment points on your shower walls then I am sure you could make the above work for you but if not I am not sure we have any other options for you unfortunately.

view full answer... - Use of Stromberg Carlson Extend-A-Shower Shower Curtain Rod EXT-3542S in House ShowerThe Stromberg Carlson Extend-A-Shower Shower Curtain Rod # EXT-3542S is intended for RV applications in showers that are 35- to 42-inches wide but it could certainly find uses in domestic shower installations. The rod is 45-3/4-inches long overall but it can pivot at two points along its length. We also offer a version in white, part # EXT-3542. Since I am not certain exactly how you measured your shower area you can compare the spacing of the two mounting points. If you like you can send...

- Measurements of Stromberg Carlson Extend-A-Shower Shower Curtain RodDue to the fact we don't have a photo available to show the bottom of the shower stall coverage. I would suggest measuring the length of the shower stall or existing rod to see if # EXT-3542 can cover those 3 or 4 inches or more of needed coverage. The Stromberg Carlson Extend-A-Shower Shower Curtain Rod Application will fit 35" - 42" wide RV showers. The 35" Wide shower provides 9-1/2" of additional depth and the 42" Wide shower provides 6-1/2" of additional depth. The overall dimensions...
view full answer... - Can Stromberg Carlson Extend-A-Shower Curtain Rod Have End Hinge Mounted HorizontallyThe Stromberg Carlson Extend-A-Shower Shower Curtain Rod for RVs - 35" to 42" - White # EXT-3542 cannot be installed horizontally because it would not then hold up the curtain at the ends. It would dip down on the ends slightly causing a larger dip in the center which isn't what you want. I know it would be nice to use those existing holes or try to cover them, but the folding part of the shower bar and the horizontal structure all literally hinges on that vertical mount. You can simply...

- Mounting Stromberg Carlson Extend-A-Shower Shower Curtain Rod When No Studs Are PresentYou will need to have a solid surface to mount the Extend-A-Shower. One customer said they did not have any studs to mount this to and used blocks. You could do something similar by fabricating small mounting blocks to mount to the wall first, and then install the shower curtain rods.
view full answer... - Will the Extend-A-Shower Rod Work with a Corner ShowerThe Extend-A-Shower # EXT-3542 can be used for a corner shower provided that the length of the rods is enough. The overall length of the unit is 45-3/4 inches. Using that you should be able to determine if it is long enough for your corner shower.
view full answer... - What are the Dimensions of the Wall Mounting Bracket for Stromberg Carlson Extend-A-ShowerI went out to the warehouse and measured the wall mounting bracket on the Stromberg Carlson Extend-A-Shower, # EXT-3542. The overall height is approximately 3-5/8 inches and it is 1 inch wide. The holes are approximately 3 inches apart on center.
view full answer... - Can Extend-A-Shower Shower Curtain Rod be TrimmedThe Stromberg Carlson Extend-A-Shower Shower Curtain Rod for RVs # EXT-3542 can be cut down to fit a 26-1/2 inch shower. As you can see by the accompanying instructions from the manufacturer you will need to take some measurements and have an electric drill as well as a hack saw handy.

- Can the Stromberg Carlson Extend-A-Shower Curtain Rod Be Modified Jerry, If you can find a way to reattach the end pieces that go into the wall then sure you can modify the Stromberg Carlson Extend-A-Shower Shower Curtain Rod for RVs # EXT-3542.

No hooks for the curtain. Check out the review video I attached as well.
view full answer... - Mounting of Stromberg Carlson RV Shower CurtainYou are correct that the Stromberg Carlson Extend-A-Shower Shower Curtain Rod # EXT-3542 does install with the use of the four included stainless steel screws. As for caulking behind the mounting brackets that is not necessary with this product, no.
view full answer... - Can Stromber Carlson RV Shower Curtain be Mounted Outside of Truck Bed CamperYou can install the Stromberg Carlson Extend-A-Shower Shower Curtain Rod # EXT-3542 on the outside of your truck bed camper. However, it requires you to drill into the side of the camper. Removing the entire curtain rod would require you to remove the screws each time. Instead you can take the center piece apart from the two side arms and fold the arms down leaving them on the side of the camper.

This should still work for you, but you will need to use a shower curtain weighted at the bottom to allow the angle to keep the curtain within your shower pan. Your mounting locations will need to account for the smaller size shower pan. I've attached a photo showing the dimensions to assist so you can determine...
