Started to look into some water damage in the kitchen of our 83 Pace Arrow. The more I looked, the more I found. I have some pics of the damage so far. Anyone interested in following a rebuild thread?

Going to have to agree with that. Plenty of toilet paper can be bought for way less than $20.


You are building a one-of-a-kind custom RV and going to cheap out on toilet paper? For shame, for shame, for shame.

Toilet paper was not available with the one- or two-hole toilets back in the day.



In addition to expense, there are 2 additional issues, (no pun intended). Oh, I guess that would be magazines, not catalogs. Lol.

First is, the saint I am married to, deserves more comfort than a catalog will provide.

Second, I use water and not paper for keeping things clean.

How about a one hole'r with a bidet?

I spent some time tonight looking at some options for the doors to cover the shelves in the bath wall. Yes, I said doors, with an s.

A single door that's about 12" wide and over 6 feet tall, is just not going to work well. So, I decided to split them up into 3 doors, each about 2 feet tall.

That will be easier to manage.

After spending too much time on options, I settled on a frame and panel design, something like below. This just shows the frame without the panel inside.

That means I'll be working on that tomorrow.





I like to use folding louver doors and make them operate separate for such occasions. I have used decorative doors to accomplish what you are working on.

How about a nice custom wooden toilet? Joking, of course.


Just raise the platform a little more and make it a "One Hole" toilet with a Sears catalog laying to one side.




Where am I going to find a Sears catalog?

Wow.... Lol.

Almost done with last minute year end computer "emergencies". Lol.

However, I went out anyway and got some gluing and nailing done. The last pic I posted didn't show it, but the facing around the "shelves" was not glued or nailed in.

I did get at least that accomplished tonight. I am going to have to look for a decent cordless nailer, instead of dragging out the air hose and plugging in, then coiling up the hose to put it away.

Call me spoiled.

Any hoooo, this pic shows all the facing glued and nailed in place, so the doors should be next to work on.

Translates to toilet water, go figure!
