   The original shower rails and curtain are PITA to remove and reinstall, but it works well blocking water from going all over the place. I cannot find a replacement curtain though. Where do you go to get one? Forest River dealer? 
I also wonder if people replace this whole setup with something easier to maintain.

	FR quoted me a wrong size curtain. When I asked them about it, they never got back to me. Whatever. I measured and bought one off amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JNHF2Z6/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_0ipnCbC77PSC5 Screwed one side in place using original mount that came with rpod, and left the other side as is (the one that has a magnetic mount on the original curtain). It worked perfectly! No water on the bathroom floor or anything. I also realized that the original curtain had a heavy smell. Some kind of water/mildew resistant chemical, I assume. It bothered me a lot. So as a bonus - no more smell. The new curtain is super light and dries very quickly. Easy and cheap to replace. Fits fine on the original rail.

	We did not replace our curtain but was bothered by the bottom always moving inwards and touching you. We wanted to add hooks at the bottom to attach to the bar but never able to find anything that would fit. Called FR and they did not know of anything to attach the bottom. So we ended up opening the bottom of the shower and gluing 4 super strong magnets inside the wall (It must be very strong magnet to go through the plastic wall of the shower bottom). Then we glued 4 stainless steel washers to the bottom of the curtain where it met the magnets and now the shower curtain sticks to the walls when closed and comes off easily to open the curtain. It was like getting a 25% bigger shower!!!

	I did the same thing with our 2018 180, however i opened the end seam on the curtain and sewn washers in place, then stitched back closed.

	That probably looks a lot better than ours did!

	Another thing I forgot to mention. After replacing the OEM curtain, a weird chemical smell that bothered me for a few months disappeared. Apparently, whatever treatment is applied to the original curtain smells awful after a few months of use, and it doesn't go away even if you wash the curtain.
