I hate medicine cabinet that is stock. I also really don't care for the sliding door design below the sink. I was hoping someone maybe did some MILD (not total ripped out, gutted type jobs which look great but I don't want that project right now) modifications to the bathroom to make it look a little less dated but also a little more usable. My water heater is coming out so that will open up a little more room in the Bath Room anyway.

Michael,

I think the big change to this bathroom was the sliding panel material -- but the entire coach is one of the best interior remodels.

I do like the new sliders. Not sure it would work for my application since I don't have any wood. But I loved the pics.

Michael,

The new sliding doors are some type of acrylic -- 3-form -- is what the owner called it. Somewhat see-through.. as shown in this photo. They used it for backsplashs..

Anyway, just shows what new sliding doors and a clean appearance can do for the look of the wet bath.

Oh yea I didn't think they were wood but they have that wood grain type look. Even that minor change makes the bath look different. Hum maybe a trip down the shower door section of the local Lowes may yield some ideas!

Dan,

Your wish is my command!

To upload pictures on the GMC Photo Site you will have to register first.

Click here: http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/register.php

When you fill in your Username keep in mind that if you choose something
unique and not your name people will have difficulty finding photos you
upload.

When I first registered I used relleumt which is my name backwards, sort of.
I got so frustrated trying to find pictures other GMCer's had posted I
decided to change it to Mueller R.

I do worry about Interpol finding me so I am careful what photos I post! ;-)

Once you're registered you can click on the link below and follow J Harpers
step by step procedure which will walk you through how to upload photos:

http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/showgallery.php?cat=4782

Regards,
Rob M.

In those pictures, there does not appear to be an inside shower curtain
(next to the vanity). My 77 Eleganza has two shower curtains, one next to
the door and one next to the vanity. Is the one next to the vanity omitted
in some coaches?

Mine came with two. First I took out the one next to the vanity, then I took out the other one. I find no curtains are necessary. They are a nuisance.

We painted the cabinet doors, and painted the drip plate on the bottom of the door to match. Nice royal blue and matched it up with a small royal blue rug. Made a world of difference for the cost of a can of plastic primer and spray paint. If only I could find a way to put more modern looking lights in the bathroom it would be pretty nice in there!

I agree. We use our shower a lot but haven't had the curtains in since the first year we owned it back in 1981. We don't find them necessary. It is more work to clean the curtains than to let the fiberglas dry by itself.

Jeremy,

Somewhere on Jim Bounds' site (I couldn't find it in the time I took to look for it), he details a way to replace the original incandescent fixtures with more modern fluorescent fixtures. They look good and lend a more modern appearance.
