Okay, here is my fairly simple idea that I will be replacing this temporary arraignment with next year. I was going to wait to post this after I built it, but I thought that I would throw this idea out there for others to use or adapt, as it may be awhile before I get a chance to build this myself. I have enough other things to get done that this part will wait probably until winter to get finished.
Instead of using an adjustable shower curtain wall I am going to build an extremely lightweight full height bathroom "drawer" to slide in and out. The front of it will be a door/wall with two short sides and no back. Think of a drawer with no top, bottom, or backside. This will run in and out on drawer slides and maybe bottom wheels. Probably 4 drawer slides...two on the bottom and two close to the top.
Kind of a pocket door concept, but it is a 3 sided room/wall sliding. By doing it this way my bathroom/shower area will only take up half the space when not in use. When using it, it will be a simple pull out, open the door, and step in. By expanding the front it gives the area enough elbow room to be more useable.
For my use I will still be showering in a small non-permanent arrangement of shower curtains and tub. The loo will still be a Lugagable or a Porta Potty. It will just be hidden behind a more cabinet looking front. If others want a more permanent, plumbed in arrangement, I think a toilet and small sink could be done.
I hope this explains it clearly enough. I don't have any drawings or mockups to show. I am interested in knowing what others think of the concept, and if it will be useful to them.
