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!

I love the Extend-A-Shower Curtain Rod by Stromberg Carlson. Our toy hauler has a very small bathroom space with shower and toilet, it is difficult to maneuver in there. The shower is small and narrow, and with the factory shower rod the shower curtain was constantly up against me while showering, and at the same time the curtain would reduce elbow space while using the toilet. A curved shower curtain rod would have given more room in the shower, but would have put the curtain out over the toilet. The adjustability of this product gives so much more space in the shower, and when I am done showering, I just move the adjustable curtain rod back into to the shower so I have more elbow room while using the toilet or changing clothes in the tight space in the bathroom. I have had it for a year and it has made a huge difference for us, we love it! It is a well-built, quality product. I highly recommend!

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: Andy B 03/23/2017 One Year Later

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: John L 06/09/2025 One Year Later

It made a big difference in Cougar shower. We really like it

by: Bobbyg 03/28/2017

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: 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: Dawnita West 03/23/2017

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: Matt 05/30/2016 One Year Later

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: George 05/25/2016

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.

by: Lora 03/27/2022

Went up very easy, works great, fast shipping, very well made, we are very happy with it.

by: Steve G. 10/15/2012

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: AJ Smith 09/28/2017 One Year Later

Works as advertised. Seems well made. Add a ton of room both inside and outside the shower.

by: Roger 11/24/2021

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].

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!

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.

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].

Can Tub in Travel Trailer be Replaced with a Shower
You certainly can replace your tub with a shower in your travel trailer. This would be the same as if you were swapping out the tub in your home for a shower. I have linked our selection of shower pans for you to filter through but you will need to make sure that they are the correct dimensions for your application. For example; the Lippert Components Shower Pan # LC210377 measures 24" x 40" and comes in white. You will also need to make sure that everything is sealed correctly since...

Recommended Shower Curtain Rod
I am not sure we don't have interior measurements or specifications of your trailer. What I can tell you is the Stromberg Carlson Extend-A-Shower Shower Curtain Rod item # EXT-3542 works with 35" - 42" wide RV showers. If you have a 35" Wide shower it will give you 9-1/2" of additional depth and a it'll give a 42" wide shower 6-1/2" of additional depth. You would just need to take some measurements of the space to see if the item # EXT-3542 would work for you.

Can Stromberg Carlson Extend-A-Shower Curtain Rod Have End Hinge Mounted Horizontally
The 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...

Measurements of Stromberg Carlson Extend-A-Shower Shower Curtain Rod
Due 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...

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.

Can Stromber Carlson RV Shower Curtain be Mounted Outside of Truck Bed Camper
You 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.

The 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...

Mounting Stromberg Carlson Extend-A-Shower Shower Curtain Rod When No Studs Are Present
You 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.
