Bathroom Furniture for an RV
Introduction
Living in an RV can be either a delightful adventure or a source of frustration, largely depending on how you approach it. I spent two years living full-time in RVs while working on a book commission. During this time, I transitioned from a 20-foot motorhome to a 30-foot fifth wheel, learning the art of "hug and pivot" to maintain harmony in close quarters.
Essential RV Bathroom Furniture
When it comes to RV bathroom furniture, it's crucial that everything fits seamlessly into the limited space available. Here are key considerations:
1. Lightweight Materials
Weight management is critical in RVs. Heavier bathroom furniture can strain your vehicle’s engine and affect fuel efficiency. Opt for lightweight options; for instance, choose a plastic magazine rack over a wooden one.
2. Practicality and Efficiency
Every item in your RV should serve a purpose. Avoid clutter by selecting furniture that offers real utility. Consider alternatives that might do a better job, like using small boxes instead of baskets for organizing.
3. Mildew Resistance
The compact nature of RV bathrooms means they’re prone to mildew. Invest in mildew-resistant materials for shower curtains, pleated doors, shower hoses, and window shades to minimize cleaning time.
4. Easy Cleaning
Most RV owners prefer to spend their time adventuring, not cleaning. Choose smooth, seamless bathroom furniture to prevent the accumulation of dirt and mildew.
5. Stability
Furniture must remain secure during travel, especially over rough roads. Unstable pieces will require constant packing and unpacking, which is inconvenient.
Items not meeting these criteria may soon need replacement or disposal.
Remodeling Ideas for an RV Bathroom
Remodeling an RV bathroom allows you to tailor the space to your needs:
Upgrade to a Lighter Door
If your RV has a heavy glass sliding door for the tub, consider replacing it with a lighter accordion-style door. This switch not only reduces weight but also simplifies securing the door during travel.
Shower Over Tub
If the bathtub is rarely used, replace it with a corner shower. This change opens up precious storage space. A fiberglass shower unit is efficient, mildew-resistant, and effortlessly cleanable. If even lighter weight is desired, opt for a shower curtain with a fastener to keep it in place.
Reshuffle Existing Furniture
Consider relocating items for efficiency. Moving a hallway sink next to a new corner shower could free up space for a stacking washer/dryer.
Additional Upgrades
Here are more enhancements to consider:
- Install brighter lights above mirrors.
- Use wall-mounted soap and shampoo dispensers.
- Add over-the-door towel holders.
- Put in a lightweight medicine cabinet above the sink.
- Upgrade to a taller, roomier wood vanity.
- Add an extra shower curtain rod for towels.
Purchasing Tips
You can find RV bathroom furniture at RV parts centers online, while smaller accessories are often available at camping supply stores.
