No we dont have that birdbath in our pod. So why dont you run a curtaintrack all around the shower, overlap track and curtain 6" by the door and your done.
If you want something done right, do it yourself.

While we are talking shower stall in the Pod. Has anyone taken their "birdbath" sink out to gain more space. Have been giving that some thought.

also has anyone discovered a shower liner the that when installed goes over the existing "water resistant" walls? Tired of wiping down but will do so as I do not want the walls to get ruined.

My dealer told me the walls were waterproof when I asked the same question.  And he pointed out that the door isn't, just as Tech said.

Used ours about 40 times this season, no problems, just turn the fantastic fan on after your shower. Having it on during your shower means you'll be fighting with the shower curtain.

We've never wiped our walls down and have had no issues.  We do turn the exhaust fan on after every shower though and it will quickly dry out the entire wetbath after just a little time.

The walls are definitely water-resistant, they appear to be plasticized.  The door is not, but the shower curtain covers it.  I've added commercial-grade velcro in a few spots to hold the curtain in place during the shower, especially with the fan running it will suck inward.  I don't wipe the walls down and haven't had a problem.

Our 2011 177 has a sink in the shower, almost never used.

thanks for the responses so far.  I like the "no sink" in the wet bath (mpg has a sink).. makes for more room.  Not crazy about wiping down the walls after every shower.

What they said.  We only have one season on ours, and we wipe down the stall when done.  So far so good.

Keep in mind that the shower curtain comes around on two sides of the wall.  The shower curtain does keep the pocket organizer by the door dry.  As far as the other walls go, yes, they are water resistant and we wipe down the walls and floor whenever we shower.  We also have the exhaust fan running as well and helps to keep things dry in there.
