Ok, basically just picked up a 1996 Dutchman Pop up.  In very good shape.  The only problem is that it doesn't have a bathroom.  It has a line of cabinets(storage) 2'x5'.

I would like to take them out and add a shower.  Something that folds up when not in use.  The camper does not have a hot water heater.  is there a company that makes a whole unit.  That i can install.  (tub, waste system grey water tank,water heater)

Looking for somethng where maybe the floor folds in half or something.  This way one in use plenty of room and when not in use doesn't take a lot of space.  

Any help I would appreciate it.

Thanks

I don't know of any company that makes what you want.  Some people have built a shower into the dinette seat of their PU.  You would need to add a water heater and an electric water pump.  If you go with building your bathroom take pictures so that you can show us how the work progresses.:)

There is a brand of cargo/motorcycle hauler trailer that offers a slide in module that includes kitchen & bathroom facilities.  Just tried but couldn't find it.  The price was something like $2500.

What you're talking about is adding some of the most expensive parts of any RV.  Water heater & cassette toilet will cost a good $1,000 combined.  It's doable and would be quite spiffy, but to use standard RV items is expensive.  

An alternative is to use household items- standard shower pan, small electric water heater, and a porta-potti.  This would be much less expensive.
