The linoleum unfortunately didn't help.  The floor is completely wasted.  A little worse than I thought actually.   Everything is coming out right down to the frame and starting fresh.

Been there and done that our floor was 1 1/8 inch thick so I used 2 pieces of plywood, first piece was Avantech then a piece of 5/8 plywood, areas that had hard to get to mechanical stuff I made hatches that you could unscrew and remove for easy access. The floor we replaced was in a slide so you may not have to access anything.

Looks like the shower contributed to most of the water damage.  The walls and floor around the shower pan were absolutely gone.

I need to figure out what I want to put down for flooring.  Going to try and get that down next weekend.  The wife and I got a lot accomplished this weekend.

I thought you might be across the border in Missouri, if so I was going to offer my cnc router for your project. There was a Newell this vintage for sale in Joplin MO awhile back.

Cnc router is one thing I have been looking into.   Could really use one.

Yea, you guys are into it now. Great work! Kinda reminds me of the bus I was converting, lots of work but its definitely going to be rewarding. 

BTW, do not see a name in your signature, what should we call you?

I am not saying you should do this when rebuilding the shower enclosure, but rather giving you something to think about.

When I removed my enclosure for a remodel, I found some signs of water ingress, but not rot. Although I have used Kerdi systems with great success in houses, I felt the flex of a coach required something a little more robust. I stole a page from wooden canoe building. I epoxied a layer of fiberglass cloth on the walls and shower pan making sure to have good overlap at the floor wall seams. It’s not hard or terribly expensive. I used Jamestown Distributors to get the cloth and resin. The trick for smoothing it down is to use a 3 inch mini paint roller handle. No roller, just the steel part of the handle to remove the bubbles and push the cloth flat.

After the water proofing treatment you can go back with whatever wall and pan you choose.
