The "hanging closet" is an effort to pass off something to use as a clothes closetLOL What a hoot.
Bathroom small enough without that thing hanging in the way. AND if full I would not able to move it out of the way each time.
So, I hang it in one of my closets in the house and use as storage.
I use laundry basket (as suggest by this forum) under the bed for clean, one for dirty. If the husband goes along he gets one for himself.
I took the rod out because it kept getting in the way of the shower curtain being pulled around.
Still having good luck with the corner shelves suggested.
How to correl my toilet brush and cleaners behind the toilet when traveling, haven't worked that one out. Not really a big deal I guess.
I am pretty proud of myself for doing the chock to chock alone and doing it right. I think I am hearing a bit of confidence hereStar
Learned how to fire up the heater since we had some mid 30 degree mornings and does not take long to get the place cosy. Does still awaken me at night when it comes on so I try to keep it way down.
 
Downside is watching the gas gage go DOWN , even with very moderate driving. Never have I watched and seen the gage MOVE like that.
And not being use to pulling something, I had upper back fatigue from the tension. Sure will not be able to get far very fast if I have to stop every 100 miles and walk aroundOuch

DH and I moved the plastic hanging storage container out of the bathroom, and we lay it sideways on our bed (we keep our dinette made into a permanent bed).  At night, we simply move it to the couch.  It's not a perfect storage solution, but it works well for us.  It's better than no storage.  We keep our clothes in it. 
 
As for the toilet paper, we bought  a metal toilet paper stand that is basically a spiral stick - very lightweight and holds 4 rolls - got it at TJ Maxx for $4.99.  We keep it in the corner of the bathroom and just remove it when we take a shower, to avoid the possibility of it getting damp/wet.

You can ask ozkamper at campers flea market site about all the mods he put in the pod. He has his email listed also. They are very nice indeed and works.

Hi. What size screw did you use to put these on the wall? Also where did you get them? We looked at Wal Mart but didn't see any that looked like they would work.

Good stuff...you've been busy!  I have that exact clock in my bathroom at home.  I can tell by the icon, in the upper right corner,  that it is checking the WWV (in Boulder, CO) to calibrate itself.

These our pictures of mods that have been added to my 177 that I bought in Aug.  from the flea market site on this forum. They were all needed mods and work great.  http://www.flickr.com/photos/11338737@N07/sets/72157624649812189/

Our paper is in the webbing on the left as you enter the shower.  With the curtain up it stayed dry.  But that was only 1 shower, I was mostly just seeing how cramped it would be showering in it.  We were at a park with facilities so we used their much more spacious shower Wink

We hung our toilet paper holder up high and had no problem.

If you go back to page 1  on this subject and check the picture that Tustin Traveler has of the plastic shower caddy, Walmart. It does fit with a little work in the left corner of the bath. Have to have the lower shelf up high enough for the pottie lid to clear when up, the TT stayed high and dry on the top because I pulled the curtain all the way around  then brought it in front of the pottie when using the shower.
