Last night after a particularly bad day at work this idea came to me. 
Having no time for it myself I thought I'd throw it out to the list.

	This would take place sometime late in the manga.  

An 'accident leaves Ranma and shampoo in each other's bodies, Having a
hard time dealing with Akane's caustic remarks, as well as Ukyo's snide
Comments.  Only Shampoo and Cologne offer any sympathy as well as the
fact Shampoo wants her body back.  Unfortunately The Amazons have to go
back to China because their visa's have expired.  Ranma having no choice
but to go with them has to adjust to a life with the amazons, and is
given a way to get back his own body.  Marry Shampoo.  One bonus of this
Is that he will be the first Male with a recognised status in the
village as well as his phobia's cure from Shampoo's curse.  The down
sides are having to deal with learning to live in a new culture as well
as the trauma of learning just how racist the japanese people can be at
times.  Adding in learning to survive in a village ruled by women with
his arrogance would be a trial.  The angle I was going to use was the
time spent in Shampoo's body teaching Ranma just how wrong his views of
women are as well as learning to deal with things he's had an out on up
until now.  That time of the month, and other such things.  Onenote on
Mousse in this story He was Sent back to china two weeks before this
started.
The real reason he had come to Japan was to help test and see how strong
Ranma's children could be.  

An other route I thought of Taking it was Ranma is forced to live out
his life as a woman when Shampoo is killed on the way back to the
village, and going from there.
