I have a 32 inch wide shower in a mobile home. Would this work in my shower? How much can rod be trimmed?

Mine is installed in my travel trailer and it works just fine. I didn't need to trim any of the rod nor would I attempt it if I were you. This unit is comprised of 3 rod sections and 4 hinge points... all of which allow the 'whole' rod to swivel and to place as needed (outward or inward).

My opening is 35.5 inches and it worked well without any alteration. As "Scott" says, the whole product depends on 4 hinge points with 3 rod sections. I looked at mine and I have some doubt about taking the entire 3" off just the center section only. It will work to take 1" off each rod. The only problem I see is that the "rods" are tubing and the hole for the bolt that holds the tubing to the joint knuckle is bent inward to form a countersink. When you cut the tubing off, the flat head bolt will not seat into a counter sink position and will not be as attractive. I think I would replace the factory bolt with a regular head bolt of the same size. I took a pic for clarification but I don't see a way to attach a photo.

I trimmed mine to 34 inches and it works great. I would not think another two inches would make a difference. As to how much can be trimmed, I'm not sure, but some of the center rod would be needed to work properly.

manufacturer specs show minimum width 35"......if you cut the rod shorter than spec, it probably won't fold as designed

Yes, it's like any other shower rod. You make it as long or short as you want.

You can get this in larger quantity kits to do larger areas. We used it to do a walk-in shower with two tall glass door about the size of one sliding glass door about 72". But it would work really well I think as it is doing on my shower doors. If it is not a new sliding glass door it will be a little more work to clean it. (the kit comes with everything you will need though). My shower doors were new and it was a piece of cake.

Hi I need to trim this down for few inches, could anyone suggest what tool I should use to trim this rod?Thank you!

My shower is glass with metal frame around it. The metal frame already had space for this magnetic strip. I just replace the old one with this new one. I don't know if this would work for you.

Since it was intended for a "standard" 60" shower/tub enclosure I wouldn't want to stray to far from that measurement. Due to the curvature of the bar it would start looking "off" if you closed the adjustment too much. In theory you can close the adjustment to a total width of approximately 33" but again I think you will end up with a non-symmetrical curve.

not sure, it depend on the base material, I m not familiar with RV shower base.

I think you could if you have the means to cut it. As it is the smallest it goes is about 42". I love this curtain rod:)

I bought this fixture and like you, I wanted a shower head. I unscrewed the showerhead and replaced it with another that fits into a wall bracket, turning it into an actual hands free shower. I needed to have that type of fixture configuration, in order to replace an antique fixture. The shower flex is plenty long enough to convert the fixture from a handheld to a regular showerhead. I've been very pleased with the result; installed a couple of years ago with no issues.

I would say, maybe 4-5" gained from a flat shower curtain rod. There is a lot more room in there after you put one in. I am happy with this.

Yes, it ought to work just fine. It fastens to the inside wall in two places, and to the ceiling in one place. It should not cause any interference with the wall faucet/shower. I was able to cut it to size (along the straight side) to fit my small clawfoot perfectly. You may have to take some precise measurements and cut it to fit the area of your tub, but it should work just fine.

I have mine on a oval curtain rod that surrounds my shower and tub, so I never open it more than a few inches---I cannot guess how much room it would take when open as much as possible. I can tell you that this is a quality product that is well made and durable. I have been very happy with this purchase and will buy another one when I need to.

I agree with rrr's response.... you can definetly clip it to a shower rod... I hope the shower rod isn't near the shwer though.... safe fanning :)

Yes. It will work. It will hook your curtain and round it into the shower. Your curtain will not be flat on your rod.

It would probably work, but all of the rooms in have seen like that use a much longer rod. We will be moving soon to a house with a family room like that and I will be looking for a longer downrod. (Between 3 and 4 feet)

Sure, the "jaws" will open that far so you can attach it to a shower rod. Are you sure clipping an electric anything to a shower rod is a good idea?

The rod is held in place at a distance you choose. So if you already had holes in the wall from your old shower bar this will work just great. You are going to love this unit. It is extremely well made.
