Window in the shower?

[Chrise]

Before I leave the original bus window in place in my soon to be tiled shower, I thought I would ask if anyone who has done this has experienced trouble with mold/mildew or other water issues.

it's not too late to "delete" the window, Id like to leave it in but I don't
want to create a host of problems.

Thank you for any input you might have!

Not something I would do, especially with tile and other labor-intensive and permanent finishes.

My choice was not to delete windows. Consequently, I needed to account for access and things like condensation. My solution was to build my interior standing free from the exterior wall (secured at points in the ceiling). It's a half wall with a clear shower curtain. That gives me air circulation, and more importantly, access to the window to monitor for condensation and leaks.

I see you have built a plywood floor sloping to the drain. What do you plan to use to make it waterproof?

And how will you make the plywood walls waterproof?

The base is a separate piece. I fiberglassed the joints, then did a few resin pours to finish. It was a lot of work and my notes say something like 'just buy a home depot shower pan next time.'

Walls are painted and polyurethaned. The bus is only used for short trips, and the shower is used infrequently, so I didn't have the same design requirements as a full timer.
