Today
I put the shower in. It has been painted for quite some time now, but I just did not have a chance to rivet it back in. I had to attach the pluming first. I bought a new shower valve from Home Depot and then used pex to secure the fittings in the back of the shower. I'm not sure how you would replace the shower valve if the tub was attached and the shower wall
was riveted to the Airstream. Lets hope that it never needs to be replaced, or worse that it leaks on my new floor. I made the pex extra long so that I can hook it into the water system in the next week or so. I will finish the fresh water system before I put the tub in, because I can still get to the valve and all the fittings at this point. I don't want to button it up before I have a chance to pressure test the system.
