Rpod 179 Bathroom Mods - Event Date: 14 Dec 2020

That's pretty much the opposite of most people. They normally get rid of the sink, and keep the shower. I guess if you don't use the shower, why not. I don't think you can do anything to make it bigger, but maybe somebody else has ideas

Thanks for the replies. Just to put my request for info into perspective, Yeah, we have kept everything we removed from the RPod. When boon-docking, we use nature to bathe. When road traveling we camp where there are bath houses and shower there. We are environmentally aware long-distance hikers. Believe me when I say we are fully aware of how ounces create pounds very quickly. We camp (even in a camper) very conservatively, being only a minor step past minimalism. We choose to keep the sink in the bathroom so we are not bringing “potty hands” to the kitchen area. Eliminating the shower, reduces weight, eliminates conversion hassles from bathroom to shower and back, eliminates after-shower clean-up time, and increases our water tank conservation. Why would you want a shower in a space you can barely turn around in? But anyway, we are on a quest to find creative ways to increase storage for bathroom supplies in the bathroom and maybe introduce somewhere to put a bar of soap? By the way, our bathroom supplies fit in a single shoebox. I’d just like to keep areas compartmentalized as much as is possible. So bathroom supplies are stored in the bathroom, not the pantry or ottoman (yep, we removed one of those too.) We plan to use this camper until the wheels fall off. So no worries about what mods we make to it. It is already as large as we will ever want to go. Personally, I could sell my house and live in this full-time if I could only make the bathroom more user-friendly for just the two of us.

I added a "sink" (made from an ss funnel) to the head in our 172.  We didn't like washing hands in the food preparation area after using the toilet.  It was never really in the way of using the shower and I mounted the shower head to flow into the sink when not in use as a shower.  

Thank you all who posted a reply. It doesn’t seem like there are many options to augmenting this small nightmare of a bathroom. So we’ll do the best we can to try to make it work. Too bad the manufacturer didn’t even consider space for a soap dish.

I can understand your decision. Thanks
