   There's several things you can do:

   In the search up top, just below SEARCH THE FORUMS, type :    Kerdi shower pan.  

   That should give you a bunch of former posts on the subject.

   or

   Go look at the Schluter website, which is the maker of Kerdi and several other options for you.

   or

   Take a look at JohnBridge.com-a great tile forum.

   Best of luck.

   You want to use a pan, so you don't need surfacing like kerdi, at least for that floor area.  You don't need on the wall, either, since this is not used everyday.  Roll on vapor barrier should be enough.  Just don't use sheetrock for the shower wall.  Pan may be already graded and reinforced, or you only need a mix that will support the pan.

   I believe Gregg intends to have a flush level floor to the shower. With any pan you will end up with step - up no matter how small

   It's fairly common to see roll-in showers with a sort of "lump" outside the entrance to the shower area -- a raised area covering 8-12" and going up 1/2 to 3/4".  This eliminates the need to have the shower area "depressed".

   You will need a lower floor plane than your  existing floor or if not possible a small twosided "ramp" (ca 5" wide) at the entry to the shower. (we used 3/4" solid surface material, tapered both sides)

   Schluter has several materials to waterproof the shower, e.g. Ditra for the floor  and Kerdi for the walls. With Kerdi you can use ordinary gypsum drywall on your walls.

   You can use Schluter's drainsystem - see Schluter's website
