Now that I cogitate on this a bit one could:
1) cut off the top of the shower completely.
2) remove all the spray on insulation on the inside of the roof.
3) cut a hole in the roof the same dimension as the top of the shower but not cut any frames (hoops that go around the body) cutting
a stringer (longitudinal fore / aft pieces could be OK to cut).
4) cover the hole in the roof with the thickest piece of Lexan that would flex enough to conform to the roof curve.
5) fasten the Lexan to the roof skin with stainless steel screws with the heads on the inside and acorn nuts on the outside
6) seal the Lexan to the roof to with a high quality polyurethane sealant and LOTS of screws
7) extend the walls of the shower up to the skylight
8) spray the walls of the shower with two pack epoxy paint
9) relocate the shower light to the side wall above the wheel well
Or just duck down a bit when you shower if you're 6" 1 1/2" like me! ;-)
Actually the added light in the shower would be nice. John Sharpe has a Winnebago Spectrum that has a skylight above the shower.

Hah, good info, so in theory you could even add headroom bulge on the inside of the coach.......have we as a species really grown
that much taller in 45 years........or is it something about tall people that attracts them to GMCs? funny that they would have
wasted that much height in what must always have been a small shower.
