    This is what the flooring looks like. This is actually the extra which I am selling. The section I am using is rolled up on a tube and set out of the way.

    I got the FRP mounted on the bathroom wall and the ceiling. Bathroom wall is white, ceiling is a light grey. I am going to be getting different screws for it, going to use stainless #10x1 1/4" pancake head screws with nylon washers.

    What is your feeling towards the FRP? I think is is awesome in this application. Easy to wipe clean and is very professional looking. So glad I went this direction.

    I like the frp so far.
    Had a couple issues with the recommended glue. But, trim will fix that.
    For cutting it to size, I found that my electric sheet metal nibbler worked best. No dust, little smell, no itch. Not the same story with the hole saw for the light sockets.

    For cutting I went with a high tooth count plywood blade. Couldn’t find a carbide one that had enough teeth. Once I laminated it to the Masonite for the roof I could cut it with a more aggressive carbide blade. The HSS plywood blade wore pretty quickly due to the abrasiveness of the fiberglass.

    Yeah, I did have to cut the holes for the vents,AC and bathroom window with a saw. I used the HSS blades because thats what I had. 4 holes, 2 blades. But, it worked and didnt chip out.
    Im trying to figure out how I want to do the top corner from the wall to the roof.

    Side note: Airstream is back from the dealer. They couldnt get a new cooling unit for it, so they just installed a whole new fridge. Total cost, $40 in gas.

    Went out and sanded the floor. Then, I put the first coat of sealant down. No it is like watching paint dry...

    Went and picked up the shower. They had 3. This one has a ding in the edge, one had a gouge, and the last had exposed wood that was spongy from being out in the rain. They gave me $100 off of my $349 shower for the ding. So, I couldnt pass on it...

    Framing out the shower. There will shelving between the shower and the wall. The floor has 1/2" plywood base on top of the 2x3s. This lets it level out without the front edge sitting on the floor.

    Waiting for paint to dry while waiting for my shower head and control to arrive. Going with a single control and single line to the shower. I will set the water heater at the temp I want and will leave it there.
    I am going to use the Delta Hydrorain showerhead. I will be making a recess on the cieling for the upper section, but need it here so that I can put the recess in the best spot.

    Seems a little extavagant for a camp shower.

    To me, just being able to wet down, wash and rinse would be a winning combination when away from home base.

    Just my opinion.

    Keep the progress and pics coming.

    Got it through Amazon for $45. I hate having showerheads below my face, so...
    Plus, this will be home for a while.

    Got the frp on the shower surround walls. The frp only goes about 2" inside the edge of the shower. Also figured out where the shower valve will be. Wanted it in a spot that was easy for me to reach from outside the shower and in a spot that didnt use too much space. I like it where I put it.
    Right now, I am letting the first coat of paint on the shelving supports dry. Once the second coat is done and dry, I will moubt them to the wall and start making the shelving that goes between the shower and wall.

    I am still trying to figure out what I will be doing for additional shelving in the closet to the right.

    Unfortunately, that showerhead wont work in the trailer. But, it works well in the house. Just cant get it high enough with the space I have to work with if I put a 4" recess in the ceiling. So, I will have to figure out something else. Maybe I will make one...
    Anyways, did some work on the shelves. There will be a panel at the back to prevent anything from falling through. I wil add a panel on the front to make it look a little better. But it will be open shelving for towels and stuff. Plus extra room for transport storage.
