7. Still in the shower...since the little shelf built into the shower wall is worse than useless, something had to be done.
Picked up this 3 chamber soap/shampoo dispenser on Amazon Prime. It is made to fit in the corner, and comes with its' own adhesive.
I was doubtful that it would stay in place with all the bouncing around on the road, especially with all 3 chambers filled, but it has held up fine so far.
8. There is no mirror anywhere in the trailer. Mary searched for a long while to find one that was not too heavy, and would fit in some available wall space.
She found this 16" x 16" and hung it on the wall right outside the bathroom. Perfect!
9. Another little convenience are two stools. There is one fold-able couch/bed in the trailer. It can seat 3 people, 2 very comfortably. We wanted more options on seating.
Cushioned stools-
Not something you'd want to sit on all afternoon or evening, but if we have guests for a little while and want some extra seating, they have worked out well.
They also work very well as foot stools for Mary and I when sitting on the couch!
AND...they double as storage, the padded seat comes off and we have used one as a dirty clothes hamper and the other to store a variety of things. They also slide easily under the couch, out of the way.
AND...they collapse down to a very small profile if we are not using them. (the entire bottom part fits into the cushioned top)
In less than 10 seconds they fold back out to a usable stool/storage container.
10-12. Pictured below is a paper towel holder, dish towel hook, and trash can.
We tried out several locations for a paper towel holder...each location was convenient for the paper towel access, but interfered with access to something else. Finally settled on the side of the kitchen cabinet, right below the counter.
It was also a good location for a dish towel hook, and importantly let us get a trash can that would open and close without hitting the roll of paper towels.
13. At the head of the bed is a 110 outlet. I removed it and replaced it with a 110V outlet/dual USB port combo.
I know it's crooked. I need to pull it back out and tweak the romex a bit so it will sit flush.
14. This next project was a big one, and took a while to figure out. We tossed around a lot of different ideas.
We needed more USB ports, and some 12v power point receptacles. We also needed somewhere to keep USB cables while not in use, AND we need some where to set the devices while they were plugged into the USB ports getting recharged.
And we wanted this "station" to be below the TV.
We searched around quite a bit for something we could buy that did all this. We also looked for multiple components that we could buy, that together would do all the above.
No luck. So we decided to build our own.
We purchased a Sorbus 3-Tier Bamboo Shelf Organizer for Desk with Drawers. We also purchased a 4 port USB, a dual port USB with 12v receptacle and a stand alone 12v receptacle.
We then installed all three receptacle units in the top drawer of the organizer, hiding all the wires in that top drawer.
This left us the top shelf to set things (phones, etc.) on, and the bottom two drawers to store wires in.
We used self-adhesive felt pads on the drawers to keep them from sliding open while going down the road. Works perfectly, they open easily when pulling on them, but stay closed otherwise.
We then secured the entire power station to the bottom of the TV cabinet with some 1x1.5 and some L brackets on either side and the back.
This as worked extremely well and is very convenient.
I will get some pics of the wiring to the fuse box and post that up soon.
More to come as I take more photos and have time to post.
