Click For Full-Size Image.Foot stool I bought 2 of these at Costco's in package $24.99 it is the perfect size and when not in use it sets against the commode on the step up portion out of the way. Now I can use the space under my sink. I do not know how to make this picture smaller Sorry.

gotsmart, This just made me laugh out loud, seriously :B because you nailed exactly what has to be done to avoid tripping.. This is the exact configuration of my 28A and I actually do leave the door open and I've learned to keep the curtain closed in the bedroom or else there's a clear view in/out because I got tired of opening and closing that curtain every single time...
I don't have a curtain issue. I like a dark bedroom. I have the curtains always drawn on the 3 windows as well as Reflectix foil between the curtains and the glass, and a blackout cover on the bottom of the ceiling vent.
2 more tips.
1) My medicine cabinet does not go all the way to the ceiling. The top serves as a shelf to store 3 double-rolls of ones favorite toilet paper.
2) If your toilet paper holder is mounted on the wall similar to the below image then your knee is right under it when sitting on the toilet and it becomes kind of useless. Solution below the image.
If you don't have children then this works well. If you do, then YMMV.
Use the toilet paper holder as an aid for getting onto and off of the pedestal. Use one hand on the sink counter and the other hand on the toilet paper holder to steady yourself as you get on and off the pedestal. BIG NOTE: The toilet paper holder is NOT a grab rail. It is not mounted in a way to support the full weight of a person. If your toilet paper holder is loose on the wall then using it to steady yourself IS NOT a good idea.
So, where to put the toilet paper? Get one of these at Walmart.
Where to put it? Open the medicine cabinet door and hang it in the lower corner that is closest to the toilet. The door easily closes securely over it. I'd post a picture of mine, but Flickr is having issues at the moment.
The location of over-the-tank toilet paper holder on the cabinet works very well for me.

This is the bathroom in my 2004 Majestic 28R. The step up is 11 inches high and is 17 inches from the door.
Below is the view from the rear bed. The bathroom is on the left with the shower on the right. It has a glass door.
Problem: when getting off of the toilet while disrobed (with clothes at ones feet) there is a risk of tripping and falling into the door, or worse if the door is ajar falling into the shower door.
My solution: Open the bathroom door all the way until it hits the door stop, and leave it in that position. Disrobe and lay the clothes out on the foot of the bed. Step backwards up onto the pedestal.
There's no soundproofing in the walls at all, so privacy concerns are pretty much moot.

It looks like the toilet is a short one so changing it out may not be of any help.
Taking out the step up may not be an option as it looks like there is a heater duct under the step up.
Maybe Something Like This would work,when not in use it could be folded and placed beside the toilet.
