Life in an RV can be wonderful or frustrating, depending on what you make it. The author lived full-time in an RV for two years, working on a commissioned book. Actually, she lived in two RVs, one after the other. The first was a 20′ motorhome. Those of us who were “full-timers” rather than vacationers joked about the way to get along with your spouse in a small RV. Whenever you meet going in opposite directions, hug and pivot. We hugged and pivoted in the tiny 20′ motorhome for 365 days. Then we “moved up” to a 30′ 5th wheel and continued to hug and pivot for another 365 days. It was part of keeping a happy marriage while living 24/7/365 in a small RV.

RV Bathroom Furniture

RV bathroom furniture is another part of living in a small RV. (Note: Every RV is small when you live in it.) RV bathroom furniture must be ready to “hug and pivot” to work in as little space as possible.

RV bathroom furniture has several requirements. It must be…

1. Lightweight: Weight is very important when traveling in an RV. The more weight you put into RV bathroom furniture, the harder you will work your engine. You may also slow your travels. Think lightweight! The wooden magazine rack may look better, but the plastic one may weigh less.

2. Practical and efficient: Add nothing that doesn’t earn its keep. RV and camping stores offer hundreds of appealing gadgets. Some serve no real purpose, or do not fulfill promises. When you look at bathroom furniture, consider what it will do for you. Look around to see if there is another item that will better do the job. Small baskets may help you organize, but small boxes may do it better.

3. Mildew-resistant: An RV bathroom is a small, closed space. Unless you want to spend hours scrubbing mildew, make sure all bathroom furniture is mildew-resistant. Shower curtains or pleated doors should be treated to resist mildew. Shower hoses should, too. If you need a curtain or shade at the window, get one in mildew-resistant material.

4. Easy to clean: Most people use an RV for vacations and do not want to spend their time cleaning the bathroom. Look for bathroom furniture that is smooth, free of seams and cracks that collect dirt, mold, and mildew.

5. Stable: Any RV bathroom furniture you add must stay in place when traveling rough roads. Even if you don’t plan to go off-road to a remote campsite, you will encounter tough patches in road construction. Items that will not stay put require frequent packing and unpacking.

RV bathroom furniture that does not meet these criteria should be considered carefully. Chances are good that you will trash it or replace it soon if it fails in one or more points.

RV Bathroom Remodel

An RV remodel of the bathroom gives you opportunity to put some of these principles into practice.

For example, an RV tub may have a glass sliding door. It looks good, and you found a piece of 2×2 that keeps it from sliding while you’re traveling. If you replaced it during your RV model, however, you could lighten your load. Install a lightweight, accordion pleated door in its place. The lighter door will lock in place for travel.

Your RV remodel might be even more radical. You may decide that no one uses that tub. Showers are quicker. Replace the tub with a white corner shower, opening up storage space. A fiberglass shower is a piece of bathroom furniture that is practical, efficient, mildew-resistant, and easy to clean. One-piece, seamless construction installs easily with Super Grip Foam Tape. For less weight, use a shower curtain. Attach a small fastener to hold it in transit.

An RV remodel might also take bathroom furniture from the hall and put it in the bath. Example: Having replaced the tub with a corner shower, move the hallway sink to the space beside the shower. You have free hallway space for a stacking washer/dryer!

Other RV bathroom furniture you might want to change:

1. brighter lights above a dark mirror
2. soap/shampoo dispenser attached to shower wall
3. over-the-door towel holders
4. lightweight medicine cabinet above sink
5. taller, roomier wood vanity
6. additional, plastic shower curtain rod for towels

In order for a person to make sure that their bathroom is set apart from all other is to accent it with the perfect piece of it.

Bathroom furniture comes in array of textures, but one of the most popular types of furniture for a bathroom is wicker furniture. Wicker is hard to keep from mildewing when it is exposed to all the humidity that a bathroom has to offer.

Even a small chair strategically placed in a bathroom would come in handy for a person to take advantage of. Any piece of furniture will help to ensure that the bathroom decor is softened and it can help add style, color, and warmth.

Bathroom furniture is often the last thing a person thinks of when they are redoing their home. Bathrooms are used quite often, but they lack the decorative touch that most of the other rooms in the house exude.

However, with a well placed piece of it, a person can enjoy their bathroom experience even more, and one can have something to look at and admire while they are in this well used room.

When building a home, we do not neglect the fact that most of our time will be spent in bathrooms. We could be taking a bath, using the toilet, preparing to go out, preparing to sleep, or merely brushing your teeth after every meal. Half of the day is spent on using the bathroom. In rational computations, the bathroom is the most used room in the house compared to the bedroom and the living room. So if we spend most of our time here, we should be choosing the perfect bathroom furniture for us to place in it.

To plan your bathroom furniture, think about the space that you have available to spare. You may draw a plan or a sketch of your desired bathroom and then later on figure out what kinds or types of furnishings you want in it. What do you want to do in your bathroom? This is a major question whenever deciding on what bathroom furniture to buy. Are you the type who has fast paced living and does not require a tub? A shower enclosure would do. Of course we never forget the toilet seat. A bidet is optional for those people who have money to spare. Your lavatory or sink will have to match them as well, color and make. Nowadays it is popular to furnish your bathroom with stainless steel. The theme is very modern and is also maintenance free. It doesn’t chip, easy to clean and also not prone to many bacteria and germs.

Next is the type of storage requirement you want. Do you need a medicine cabinet, drawer, towel and robe closet, and the likes? After pondering on this, look at your sketch and plan on where to put these storage areas. Will the closet be the first thing you need when you enter your bathroom? Is your medicine cabinet placed right above your vanity or somewhere else? Thoughts like these will help you decide on what kinds and colors your storage areas would be.

Another thing to think about is how long you usually stay in your bathroom. If you are the type who spends hours in the bathroom without doing anything productive at all, you may want to integrate a magazine rack somewhere near the toilet seat and the tub. Music equipment is also fine as long as you are careful in arranging the cables since a bathroom always have water present.

Finally, do not forget about the little details which make your bathroom furniture as complete as it can be. Your towel racks, soap dishes, tissue handles, shower and faucet heads and knobs, toothbrush holder etc. Additional items would be the rugs, first aid kit and of course, your indoor decors. Always remember, a bathroom is an essential if not the most important room in our house. People can live in a house without a bedroom but cannot live without a bathroom. If my bathroom is well arranged, clean and spacious, I could very well sleep there. What do you need a bedroom for? Choose your bathroom furniture wisely.
