    I was thinking that you might be disapointed.

    How about a hand held?

    What i did is put in the house and test it out. GREAT showerhead but it needs 5" or more and I refuse to put skylight through the roof skin and 4" is the most I can get without doing that. Shame because it is a really nice showerhead.
    Ive been looking at handheld, just havent found the right one. I hated the handheld setup that I had in my 33' Pace Arrow, so I am picky. Outside shower will have a handheld but inside needs to be right.
    I am thinking maybe I will make a copper pipe square shower head that sprays inward towards the middle with a vertical pipe wall sprayer. Dunno, just spitballing ideas.

    Cruise ships have small shower stalls, but pretty efficient single handle valving and adjustable heads.

    Maybe you could find something like that.

    Decided on this one. Looked what was available at 7 different stores, found this in the clearance section at HD.

    Trim isnt on since it has to come out again to get shelves and plumbing in. But, I got the locations figured out for the shower bar and the pipe.
    20190118_155940.jpg
    I put the pipe where I did because it is centered on the ceiling supports and if I decide to add a rain head for when I am hooked up external water and drainage, I can build a hardline to run above the ceiling and hook it to a diverter. The shower bar is centered on the shower wall with the head off center and aimed toward the back corner.

    Did some more shelving work and got the shower plumbing done. Tomorrow, I will work on the front panel for the bathroom shelves and the side panels of the closet shelves.

    Just ordered a 42 gallon fresh water tank. Tank will be inside the trailer, above the axles on the street side inside the base for the bed/couch.
    Orded from PPL Motorhomes for 84.99 (on sale) plus 9.99 shipping. Added a screen filter ($5 on sale) which I will use as a vent line filter.
    Had to find a use for the $100 gift card that I got from Federal for their black friday rebate.

    Shower wall panels mounted and sealed (except for top, which had to wait for shower to be mounted). Shower screwed into place. Taking a break to let my back settle down, then I will go seal the edges with caulking and start making the trim.

    Hopefully, my fresh water tank will be here next week. Waiting for it to get here so I can finish building the kitchen around it. Have to build bracing to hold it in place, and will have some space at the bottom of the cabinet that will house a heater duct and possibly the sub for the stereo. But, I have to get the tank in place first.

    Waiting for the rain to stop so I can cut some big holes in the side for the water heater and furnace.

    Picked a color for the walls. Behr "Dark Ash". The throw of the lights will give it a two tone look.

    Ofcourse walls will be filled and sanded as needed prior to paint.

    Yay! 42 gallon water tank arrived. Strange thing to be excited about. $1 bill for size comparison.

    Got the heater installed today, had to wait for a dry day to cut holes in the side of the trailer. Used m5-28 nutserts and stainless hardware.
    20190217_150917.jpg
    Made some aluminum heat guards with my HF brake.
    20190217_120653.jpg

    Hopefully, I will get the water heater installed tomorrow. Gotta cut a big hole and add some bracing at top and bottom of the hole so the screws dont just go into the aluminum skin. Sides have steel ribs that the screws will go into.

    Waiting for the paint to dry on the bracing before I put it all together.

    Made the template counter top.
    Made it out of 3/8 plywood so that I can make the cabinets under the sink/stove and I know everything will clear when I put the 1" counter top on.

    Decided I want to do a stationary mount on the batteries instead of using sliders (500lb full extension). So, I need to be able to lift/flip the bed/couch. This is what I came up with. I used a router to make pockets for the hinges to sit flush with the base.
