How do I replace a tub in a 1975 mobile home with a shower stall?

The tub is 27 inches deep, I can’t go deeper because of washer and dryer placement. I also need to consider weight so I don’t want to do a mortar base. Help please!

My husband and I did the same thing years ago in our mobile home. We bought a corner fiberglass showe unit at a big box store (Lowes, HD), cut out the existing tub, reran the plumbing, installed the correct type of backer board for the shower, rerouted the drain. With the leftover space, we built a linen closet.
