Have you replaced the medicine cabinet ?
Medicine cabinet would be nicer if it was longer and a bit wider in our travel trailer. DH is a handy guy but I thought I'd check here first before I ask him about replacing it. Your suggestions ?

Might be more challenging than simply swapping it out. Most RV (all types) are built from the inside out, meaning the screw heads hold the cabinet up, were probably installed from outside the camper facing in (the screw heads are inside the wall).
If he is able to get the old one down without destroying the wall, the new cabinet will have to have locking doors, so they won't swing open when on the road moving. When re-attaching, he'll need to make sure he doesn't screw through the wall, to the outside (assuming the cabinet is on an outside wall, and not on an inside wall). Still, if on on inside wall, he'll need to make sure he doesn't go all the way through to the other side of the wall.
My opinion? Leave the cabinet, unless it is defective, falling apart, or simply not working. Replacing is not as easy as one inside a house.
The extra weight of a larger cabinet might not work so well on the wall bouncing down the road either. (just something to think about).
The original was made with vynil covered OSB with only 2 shelves and a small mirror.
