We have a gulf stream Innsbruck tt and installed on of the foldable shower rods in our shower. Problem is water keeps getting out at the ends of the shower curtain. We have bought a shower curtain with suction cup but the shower walls are not smooth so they won't stick, we also but those l shaped tub "Enders" to see if that would help to no avail..
Anyone have any ideas on what they have done in th past to correct this?
Pictures would help !
Thanks
Sorry for the typos, I am probably posting from a not so smart SmartPhone !

Get an "L" shaped corner protector. (The ones that normally go on wallpapered or painted walls to protect the edge of the wall.) One piece is less than $3.
Put it on the edge of your shower so there's room to tuck the shower curtain behind it.. You can chalk it. You can use removeable putty, too. (I forget what it's called but it's used to hold things on shelves so items don't move.)
Once you have the "L" shaped piece fastened in place, you should be able to get the shower curtain to stay behind it. If you are still having problems, you can get a few of the "U" shaped splines from an office supply store. Put the shower curtain over one side of the "L" shaped piece and use the "U" shaped spline to hold it there.
That will hold one side pretty good so water can't get past it. Hope this helps.
It's dorky...but it's cheap and can be removed when you come up with something better.

You can also bias your RV's leveling away from the area it leaks. so the shower water stays in the tub.
We've installed one of these in everyone of our Jaycos (except the pop-up's!)so far...with 2 kids it really works well!

I used self adhesive velcro "dots" Placed near the bottom of the curtain,It holds it about 8" around the front and back walls.Not a stray drop!

I also bought velcro stick tape. piece on the curtain, piece on the tub and it holds the shower in place.
sometimes the water would drip from the tub surround just getting a bit along the edge. I just put 2 washclothes on the edges of the tub. soaked up any stray water and left a dry floor.
now I have an enclosed shower in the 5th. no more of that

You could also use velcro strips to hold down a few inches (as high as you want) of the curtain with no gaps at all.
See ya' down the road!

Ours came with Velcro in place. Three pieces on either side, not drips.
A question? Is your shower curtain wide and long enough? With a small shower it is easy to hit the curtain with your elbow and have it pull away from the sides or bottom if it is not wide and long enough.

Its plenty long enough, just need holding the water in. The Velco may be they way to go.
