GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 We had a plumbing leak that has resulted in rotting under our shower. Jason was in the shower while we were at the Fort, and the back of the shower pan sunk in the back. Fun times. We're going to have to pull the shower out to fix it. While we're doing that, I figure we'll refresh the whole bathroom. I'd love to find something besides the plain shower walls, but not sure what's possible. We need a new toilet. We really hate ours. I'm also considering a new counter, sink, and faucet. Has anyone done that? What's a good (but not heavy) counter option? Lastly, we need better bathroom storage. I want to add an additional shelf behind our mirror and get something for towels over the toilet. If you've got something good, I'd love to see it!

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 A lot of motor homes, including ours, come with Corian counters, so weight must be reasonable. They are quite durable, and come in tons of colors and designs. I'd also recommend a high profile China bowl toilet. They have a residential feel and are very pleasant to spend some quality time on.

PGHFiend 140 Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 The Dometic 310 toilet is on our list of upgrades for this year, have read nothing but good things about it. As far as shower walls go, the standard mirex type wall board at home Depot or Lowes would do the job, and could make it a little nicer....but I bet you could get a more moden rv shower wall kit for pretty cheap. As far as counter, similar to what Dave said, any counter shop should have a scrap of corian you could buy or have for pennies. I teach HS Shop and we get scraps from the local cabinet company here. You can work it with regular wood tools including routering the edges....simple wet sanding will take care of any scratches. Strips doubled up and glued to the front 1/2 inch overhang will make it look like a custom piece. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Something worth looking into. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy and Grandma 740 Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 HI-Macs is another option for the counter, looks like granite, but is actually a lighter weight acrylic. http://www.himacscountertops.com/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

keith_h 420 Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 "Jason was in the shower while we were at the Fort" For some reason that struck me as she left Jason at home when I first read it. Just didn't associate shower with RV for some reason. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
