Think about it. How much would something like that weigh? Not only that, but as the trailer goes down the road, to how much bouncing and flexing would it be subject? Better to stick with light-weight materials. If you can get to the pan, and it is not cracked badly, you may be able to patch it. Otherwise, it would be better to replace it. In the process of replacing or patching, reinforce the supports under it to keep it from flexing.

How about reinforcing the floor through the vent, then drill a small hole at the two ends of the crack, grind out the crack to form a V, then grind off the gelcoat about an inch or so back from the crack, get some West Systems epoxy and glass cloth and patch the crack up to the edge of the ground off gelcoat, sand the patch as smooth as you can along with some of the gelcoat next to it, then re-gelcoat over the patch and sanded gelcoat to match the color?  I don't think the shower pan is acrylic, but rather fiberglass and this type of repair is done all the time on fiberglass.]]> Tue, 07 Jul 2020 08:24:07 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13743&PID=133384#133384 Cracked shower pan : Don't think that would hold... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13743&PID=133382#133382 Author: crw8sr

Don't think that would hold up.  One forum member describes camping trailers as mobile earthquakes.LOL ]]> Mon, 06 Jul 2020 20:44:38 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13743&PID=133382#133382 Cracked shower pan : Can I pour a tile cement pan? https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13743&PID=133381#133381 Author: Robspod

Crw8sr,
Been thinking about doing the same thing.  Did you get under the pan from the front?
Don’t shower in there often, but would like to prevent cracking when I do😂

Yes, replacing the shower pan is quite a task.  You will need to remove the wall paneling (the pan extends up behind the panels).  It can be done, but work carefully so you don t break your wall panels.
The problem with using flex seal is that it doesn’t  prevent further cracking.
Also, be careful disconnecting the drain pipe.  You certainly don’t want to break that.
