We just put a down payment on our first RV, a Class A diesel pusher.
Has anyone tried to make the space over a shower any larger by installing a bigger inner and outer skylight? I am 6’ 3” and would love to have a little more headroom.
 
It can be done but it's rarely ever simple or inexpensive. For a tall guy, interior height is one of those factors that should be on the pre-buying checklist, cause it's not easily fixable later.. The more upscale models typically have more headroom, so spending a bit more upfront should get what you want. But I guess you are beyond that point now.

The shape & size of the shower bubble is typically unique to the brand and model, so finding a replacement that fits nicely as well as being taller is likely to be challenging. A unicorn hunt, maybe. And modifying the roof & ceiling for even a near-fit is a challenging job and no-doubt very expensive unless you have the skills yourself.
 
Welcome from SC. What did you buy? Need some info about the new unit.
A 1997 Allegro bus diesel pusher for only $15,000. One big slide, works good. Two brand new recently replaced front windows because of rock damage. It does need some TLC. The interior is still all original. It has 1 damaged day/night blind. Was originally ordered with the “fireplace” option and solid surface countertop above, still there and working.

I have the VIN from the registration and every place I go to see what all this came with, It comes up as a Chevrolet truck!
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.

Welcome to the forum from WI. RV manufactures buy vehicle chassis from the auto makers and modify them thus the VIN will come up as a truck. As for your height i have heard of places that can customize skylights imagine not real cheap. Found this one likely others.
