I know it must be a great feeling to get your toilet mounted. That is the one thing I miss having in my teardrop - indoor plumbing. How do you plan to finish the interior of the shower?

Take care,
Tom

I have found a source that has a stock of discounted sheet laminate. So I shall be laminating the walls and ceiling with an off white vertical grade laminate. Then I am going to mount a rod dividing the front and back of the bathroom with a clear plastic shower curtain to protect the light fixture from shower spray when the shower is being used.

The laminate will work great for the shower walls. Very nice.

I just realized what I was trying to say in my prior post did not come out the way I meant it to say, so I edited it. I'm at the age that I have a few night time trips to the bathroom. Right now we have a porta potty in a side tent, but having facilities inside a tiny travel trailer would be much more handy. I would be okay with just a toilet, but my wife would like a shower too. If I build another trailer, it most likely would have both as you have.

Take care,
Tom

All internal wiring is complete so this should be the last photos of it before the outer skin is applied.

Another shot looking down on the bathroom door opening. Note all plumbing has been removed in prep for the shower pan installation today.

Here is the main electrical service box. Another tandem circuit will be added when the hotwater heater is installed. I have ordered the heater and it should be here for installation next weekend.

In this photo you can see I have a sit down area of the bench that is not covered by the table. This allows for people to easily get out of the dinnette position. It also allows clearance of the hatch access to the storage under the benches.

It's looking really good, Standupguy. :thumbsup: Are you going to paint the inside or? How about the outside? Paint?

I am planning on staining and varnishing the ceiling and cabinets and paint (and maybe wall papering) the walls. The ouside will be painted with a rubber membrane roof. Thanks for noticing my progress. :)

Slow and painfully steady. I had a lack of funds for a period and so the trailer took a back burner. I sold my motorcycle last week to pay some back taxes and give me a little more extra cash for the main electrical service, 30 amp power cord and the hot water heater so work now continues.

Yeah I thought the same thing when I laid down on it, that it reminded me of the V birth of my old sailboat, especially with the cabinets at the open end forming a narrow sort of door way. I started to feel that old sea sick feeling. :? :lol:
