Walls in the shower appear to be of the same material used throughout the trailer with the seams caulked. As they’ve been building them this way for years I’m sure it’s fine, however, I’d like to modify by adding plastic walls so it’s more durable when our grandkids are around. Would this be difficult, and are the components readily available?

js239: I agree, it is like that in my 2011 Sportsmens Classic 19BH. I never use my shower however. First of all, it is too small for me and second of all, it just looks like a water problem to me as you described.
However, I don't know of any dedicated shower walls you could use, but you might consider Milk House board as a custom solution.

You are wise to provide a better surround for the shower. Any big box home center will have shower surround materials that are easy to install, so check out Home Depot and Lowe's and ask about your options.

I saw the escape 160 RBT has the plastic walls and a few other upgrades and it is the same platform and I was wondering if I could somehow nab one of those, otherwise I’ll modify myself as suggested above. I assume I’d glue the new panels to the existing walls, then carefully caulk.

Whatever you do, determine if there is plumbing behind the walls and make provision to service it if needed. Often the plumbing can be accessed from the opposite side, just keep all this in mind.

Very good advice lynnmor. On my 19BH, the plumbing would be obstructed on the other side by the fridge and furnace.
