We have a 179 which has a very small corner sink in the bath.  I want to remove the entire sink/faucet and shower and cover the resulting hole with a flat panel.
I seem to remember that someone did this a while back with good success. I tried the search, but could not get any results.
I would appreciate any info or tips or referral to past posts.
Thanks
travel often and safe

Without looking anything up, I would guess that white eterna-bond would do a bang-up jub.

Hey Glue guy
not sure I understand your post about eternabond
I'm thinking about a flat panel-maybe white plexiglass or thin plywood painted to cover the space where the sink was located

I was just thinking about covering up the holes.

When we purchased our new camper, we had the sink removed to give more room in the wet bath. So glad we did that. You will need a shower valve-set with the threaded neck for the hand held shower head and no faucet. They are readily available on Amazon. Cover the resulting hole in the wall as best you can. You're going to have to wing it on how you hook up the supply lines.

Amazon, worlds greatest store.  Had everything you need.  I did mine earlier this year.  
Removed the sink.  Got shower install "push pin" fasteners, look at your shower surround to see what they look like.  New shower control with only the shower head hose outlet.  Used the "push pins" to install the flat panel along with silicone sealant.  You'll also have to cap off the drain pipe.

The only downside on my install is that the white panel didn't match the shower surround's color.
