This Shower ... Is EVIL!

I realized that when I designed the shower, I did not place a wall along side the bus where the windows are and there was no way to attach the plywood that needed to be waterproofed for the corrugated metal I bought for the walls. So, I ended up securing them with screws, placing a piece of plywood on the inside and using that handy, dandy Zip tape to seal it all in. Then I added the foam board for some sort of insulation and tada! I have a new wall to finish up the shower with! maybe ....



I cannot reiterate enough ... design the shower around a PREMADE shell. Period! It will make your life soooooo much easier!

Happy RV'ing!!

More Packages :)

So we received our little bar sink today and the two HEPVO "p-traps" we ordered. We decided not to go with the traditional p-traps because they use water to help "filter" out the smell and with a moving RV, we didn't like the idea of the water sloshing around in there ... after a lot of research and other ideas, HEPVO won.




We purchased ours from Amazon.com .. as always because we're prime members and get great deals on shipping. The HEPVO's are not as cheap as p-traps by any means but we're happy with our decision to use them. They can be installed horizontally or vertically ... just follow the package rules closely. We did have to purchase separate rubber washers because the vanity has a weird size pipe thats attached to the drain. These are 1 1/2" and cost us $33.78 a piece!



The sink was also purchased on Amazon. It's a Houzer and designed to fit in a 18" cabinet. We have one 18" and one 15" cabinet in the kitchenette area. This ran $44.73, free shipping. It will hold the Delta Foundations faucet we bought last month. It's one of those bar faucets but tall so you can get pans under it.

Happy RV'ing!!


Pony Wall Update, First Coat of Paint

We eventually moved Freedom into the barn, to just make sure she didn't get rained on. This got me out of the sun and more able to work....
