I believe you will need to build a shower within the mobil home. The one piece units require a wall to be removed. By the time the unit is in place, all savings are gone. Determine the size pan that will work. Some standard sixes are: 60x32, 54x34. 48x34 Walls can be done using laminate, cultured marble, or tile. You may even find some water resistant paneling that may work for a shower somewhere. This would be a good time to replace the shower faucet with a pressure balanced one. More older people are injured by hot water than young people. Consider installing blocking or support in the walls for future grab bars. Terry Tiffany Marble Works (click here)
