i picked up a used RV bathtub and microwave that i believe i can make work

[thommassey]

Just wondering, since you are installing one , what are the pros and cons to a "tub" versus "pan" for the shower? Obviously you can sit (somewhat) with the little tub, but is it worth building up the walls, and stepping over a tub? It seems a shower pan might be easier to get in and out and have more standing room, but a tub could be used for large pots and pans or washing off "stuff" as well? I have a tub like the one you have pictured (not installed yet, older used two piece shower) but I am considering going to just a pan. Any input would be appreciated. It seems to me most use tubs, but not sure why.

If you sink that into the floor you would have awesome headroom

i got this one because i figured i could save a foot of unusable wheel well hump space by extending the sit down part over it. that and it was available at the used RV parts store at the time.

thats true

I sank the bath in my bus. It required the addition of a second grey tank with a lift pump to deal with the floor drain.. It is nice to have 6'2" of clearance in the bath though.

that would be an amazing amount of headroom. i don't like the idea of a pump for the shower water though.

I'm not a big fan of the lift pump either but since there was only 5'6" of head room in the old bus, it seemed the only option. I used a 6 gal grey tank with a submerged pump. The pump has a filter at its intake so until that plugs up I'll be OK. With the little tank, even when the thing does plug up, removal and cleaning won't be a big deal--and it beats being a dirty bird.

Status Report:
i ran the wiring with power for the range hood light, fan, and sensors to the switch panel to an unused switch that was used for flashers. range hood works great. I also worked on the rest of the kitchen cabinets and made some progress:











its not pretty,or complete yet, but it is sturdy

[bgpitts]

Looks good

[proconsul100]

did some more work on the kitchen cabinets. i added doors and some wood for the side with a jigsaw.. i still need to paint it.

[browncrown]

Cabinets look great

[Better Tomorrows]

Great job on the cabinetry, question in my bluebird the windows are 30" off the floor, are they higher in a Wayne, I am about 6 foot and I have seen cabinets installed at the bottom and about 6" up so they are in the middle of the first pain, not a criticism just a question as cabinets are 36" high. I mean the bottom cabinets not the top I am tired from a full day of working on my bus.

[proconsul100]
