Bathroom Furniture for an RV

Life in an RV can be wonderful or frustrating, depending on what you make it. The author lived full-time in an RV for two years, working on a commissioned book. Actually, she lived in two RVs, one after the other. The first was a 20' motorhome. Those of us who were "full-timers" rather than vacationers joked about the way to get along with your spouse in a small RV. Whenever you meet going in opposite directions, hug and pivot. We hugged and pivoted in the tiny 20' motorhome for 365 days. Then we "moved up" to a 30' 5th wheel and continued to hug and pivot for another 365 days. It was part of keeping a happy marriage while living 24/7/365 in a small RV.

RV Bathroom Furniture

RV bathroom furniture is another part of living in a small RV. (Note: Every RV is small when you live in it.) RV bathroom furniture must be ready to "hug and pivot" to work in as little space as possible.

RV bathroom furniture has several requirements. It must be

1. Lightweight: Weight is very important when traveling in an RV. The more weight you put into RV bathroom furniture, the harder you will work your engine. You may also slow your travels. Think lightweight! The wooden magazine rack may look better, but the plastic one may weigh less.

2. Practical and efficient: Add nothing that doesn't earn its keep. RV and camping stores offer hundreds of appealing gadgets. Some serve no real purpose, or do not fulfill promises. When you look at bathroom furniture, consider what it will do for you. Look around to see if there is another item that will better do the job. Small baskets may help you organize, but small boxes may do it better.

3. Mildew-resistant: An RV bathroom is a small, closed space. Unless you want to spend hours scrubbing mildew, make sure all bathroom furniture is mildew-resistant. Shower curtains or pleated doors should be treated to resist mildew. Shower hoses should, too. If you need a curtain or shade at the window, get one in mildew-resistant material.

4. Easy to clean: Most people use an RV for vacations and do not want to spend their time cleaning the bathroom. Look for bathroom furniture that is smooth, free of seams and cracks that collect dirt, mold, and mildew.

5. Stable: Any RV bathroom furniture you add must stay in place when traveling rough roads. Even if you don't plan to go off-road to a remote campsite, you will encounter tough patches in road construction. Items that will not stay put require frequent packing and unpacking.

RV bathroom furniture that does not meet these criteria should be considered carefully. Chances are good that you will trash it or replace it soon if it fails in one or more points.

RV Bathroom Remodel

An RV remodel of the bathroom gives you opportunity to put some of these principles into practice.

For example, an RV tub may have a glass sliding door. It looks good, and you found a piece of 2x2 that keeps it from sliding while you're traveling. If you replaced it during your RV model, however, you could lighten your load. Install a lightweight, accordion pleated door in its place. The lighter door will lock in place for travel.

Your RV remodel might be even more radical. You may decide that no one uses that tub. Showers are quicker. Replace the tub with a white corner shower, opening up storage space. A fiberglass shower is a piece of bathroom furniture that is practical, efficient, mildew-resistant, and easy to clean. One-piece, seamless construction installs easily with Super Grip Foam Tape. For less weight, use a shower curtain. Attach a small fastener to hold it in transit.

An RV remodel might also take bathroom furniture from the hall and put it in the bath. Example: Having replaced the tub with a corner shower, move the hallway sink to the space beside the shower. You have free hallway space for a stacking washer/dryer!

Other RV bathroom furniture you might want to change:

1. brighter lights above a dark mirror

2. soap/shampoo dispenser attached to shower wall

3. over-the-door towel holders

4. lightweight medicine cabinet above sink

5. taller, roomier wood vanity

6. additional, plastic shower curtain rod for towels

Helpful Tip

RV bathroom furniture can be found online at any RV parts center. Smaller accessories are usually found at camping supply stores.

If there is a theme for the babys room carry it through in your invitations. Winnie the Pooh, Cars, Princess, whatever the parents have chosen, you should plan the shower around that theme including the invitations.

You may want to make the invitations yourself. It is easy, there are free templates available on line that you can use and also free clip art. Just add a verse and the shower details. These unique cheap shower invitations will truly be one of a kind. The soon to be mama and all of your guests will be thrilled.

I know a woman who got a copy of her sisters ultrasound picture and used that as design, then added her own baby shower invitation wording verses.

When my niece found out that she was having twins, her friend created this wording for the shower invitations:

Babies need lots of things
they really do
and will need even more
when there are two
Kelly and Jack
are expecting twin boy
you are invited to a
baby shower
date, time
place
address
R.S.V.P. Susan

If the new baby has siblings awaiting his or her arrival, it is probable that the parents wont need a crib and other nursery furniture and you may want to mention that in the invitation. It would be a nice idea to mention the other kids on the invitation:

Sara and David
Mike, Katie and Billy
are ready to welcome
a new baby to the family
you are invited
to a baby shower
time and date
place
address
hosted by: Joy and Lily
RSVP: to Joy
at: phone number
or Lily at: phone number

When you do baby shower invitations, you can accommodate all kinds of new baby situations: multiple births, adopted children and overseas adoptions. You can write wording to suit all of these and any theme that you can dream up. If possible find out how the soon to be parents are decorating the nursery and base your shower theme on the room. This will help insure that all the little extras will fit the babys room.

If the new parents dont have a them then choose an invitation design that suits the personalities of the couple. Have fun creating the invitation design and wording.

Here are a couple of cute sayings for use on baby shower invitations:

Heard the forecast?
A new baby is predicted.
But first there will be a shower

You and your co-hosts should put your heads together and enjoy the process of creating a delightful baby shower invitation wording verses.
