A couple of years ago this question came up and I may have even raised it but I can't find it now. It has to do with my shower door bottom seal.  It is falling apart.

It's sort of "T" shaped. One part/leg slides into a track on the bottom of the door and the other leg just hangs down and passes over a vertical lip and drops into the frame to keep water out.
There are no markings on the shower door that I can find.
If I can't find the answer here, I'll try calling the manufacturer of the RV and see if they can help.

I can but I'll wait till I get home in order to take things apart. We still have 3 weeks before we get home so I don't want to do anything which will prevent us from showering.
OK someone jump on that statement.

Unless your anywhere near Alabama ....I don't care if you shower ;D ;D

How about a picture of the existing door seal. I tried amazon but I don't know what I'm looking for.

It just so happens we are going to Alexander City Alabama next we on the 19th. I can't get a good picture and as I said, if i try to take it apart and open up a bag of worms, We'll be s**t out of luck.
 
Open the shower door and the sweep should just slide out of the groove.  Heck, take it to any store that sells/installs shower doors and you should be able to get something that will work just fine
 
Due to the pending close proximity we vote that you be able to shower.

So that being the case we will not be requesting pictures at this time....

However I did find this

https://www.amazon.com/CRL-Translucent-Shower-Vinyl-Maximum/dp/B001G1ACHI/ref=pd_bxgy_60_img_2/130-5061410-4449542?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B001G1ACHI&pd_rd_r=ca5c4284-5a2e-11e9-93ae-4b1193112941&pd_rd_w=xwbFc&pd_rd_wg=h3UKv&pf_rd_p=a2006322-0bc0-4db9-a08e-d168c18ce6f0&pf_rd_r=G2GGGJV5XRDSDDNJGARR&psc=1&refRID=G2GGGJV5XRDSDDNJGARR


It may not be the right size but maybe that will get you in the right direction..

If I'm not mistaken, you'll be passing through Connecticut on the ride home. Two votes for the shower.

Don't be scared. Will fly through CT except for stopping at Exit 1 on I-84 to dump.

No Bob. Thanks anyway. Mine is shaped like a letter "L". 
 
Take it out and go to Home Depot, Lowes or even ACE hardware and any or all of them will have a matching seal.  If really desperate, go to a plumbing shop warehouse that sells to customers and the trade.
 
Might be something on this page that'll  work:

Google  rubber seals. At least one rubber company has a catalog of seals in dozens of different cross sections that are sold by the foot (Burke?).

Thanks everyone for your help. I called Keystone this morning and they would not give me the name of the door manufacturer. I had to go to a authorized Keystone dealer. I called General RV here in FL and they E-mailed me a picture of what they had. It was just what I needed. They told me it would be $24.00 for a 2' length. I about fell out of my chair.
I then started thinking. The top of the door has the same gasket. So what I did was swapped the top gasket with the bottom gasket. The top gasket now has a 4" piece of the lip missing but it never sees water anyway. So I'm back in business so now I can continue taking showers and will make allot of people happy.
 
:)) :)) ....For taking the showers  ;D ;D

You never did post the pictures of the T shape/ L shape seal.
