Your build is great and I love the design of your convertible bed/table. Can you please tell me how you attached it to the wall? I too am planning on using a metal frame for our bench/bed design.

thanks

I used 2" self taping machine screws in to the metal studs in as many places as I could and also the wood to spread the load out as much as possible, turned out nice and strong with about 12 screws in but will be keeping an eye on it. something like this can not have much wiggle room at all as it will just get looser with movement

I was finally able to get back to work on the kitchen and wet bath idea so here is what I have so far

I had to finalize placement of the shower pan in order to set up the sink and gray water plumbing but do not need a shower to be working until summer so I decided to make it into a closet and hide it until later

If that is a fire extinguisher that is above your stove area (silver?), you might want to move it. I would at least put it over the sink instead or on a different wall. If you have a flaring stove fire you won't be able to get to it.

I really like your kitchen and shower layout!

I like that set up with the kitchen/shower area. We have insulated, and painted the walls. Our floors are next, but I am still in the thinking stage for the kitchen area. I think we might start with your idea and reverse it. I have a window on the drivers side that I want to have when cooking- It would also be able to enclose our electric box a bit.
Great job!!

Your shower setup is interesting. I considered one of these shower bases myself and to use the small angled part as the entrance. But I thought the width was too small for me to easily fit through. However I see you made it work. Hmmm, will now have to make a mock-up and test it. But am I viewing your picture right? Are the side walls angled slightly such that the top of the opening is larger then the bottom?

Really nice use of the v-nose poordad!

You're going to have a lot of good camping.

thats a good point I will have to find a better place for that, sometime all of the parts come in at once and you have to get them somewhere out of the way

thankyou I was trying to center the shower at first but this option leaves more counter and a little more privacy

the curtain is on the edge at the top and tucked in at the bottom so it looks a little more crooked than it is I took the measurements from websites selling shower pans and made cardboard templates in order to find the best layout and get a good feel for real world space

Your V-nose conversion is coming along nicely Poordad. And as others have noted, the creative use at the nose with shower is a nice touch!

Cheers,
