Bathroom Door Gap

I'd avoid anything too airtight if you have an exhaust fan in the bathroom

That's exactly why there is a large gap and it's there on purpose.


Bathrooms are a small enclosed space that generate lots of moisture. They need gaps to allow air flow/venting.

After your done in the bathroom the gap provides a way for air to vent after you've closed the door.

But I must say that when we got our first RV I thought I got ripped off because the door was the wrong size.:B

Why would you want to block it?

The mfg put the gap there to make sure there was sufficient room for air flow when you turn the bathroom fan on high. If you block it, there won't be sufficient air flow to suck out odors, shower moisture, heat, etc.

Bathroom doors differ quite a bit; a picture of the gap might be helpful. I don't have any gap above mine when it's closed, though there is a space of several inches between it and the ceiling when it's open. (It has a catch on the other side of the hall to hold it open and form a sort of partition/expanded bathroom and shower area—a quite nice design, I think.) Even that gap doesn't seem to me to compromise privacy at all; there's no way for anybody to accidentally peer over it.

For a curtain like solution, I would think a ceiling-mounted track or similar would be most practical. You would have to screw it into the ceiling in a few places to support it. Ikea sells a fairly decent inexpensive track system ("Kvartal") that with a little bit of ingenuity and drilling appears to me to be flush-mountable to a ceiling.

I'd avoid anything too airtight if you have an exhaust fan in the bathroom; there rather needs to be some way for air that it draws out to be replaced.
