I have a '77 Kingsley with a 26-11 floor plan. I have completely renovated
the front of my winter residence and next on the list is the bathroom.
Aside from insulation behind the back wall between the module and the shell
and installing a skylight...what else should I consider?
I have already installed a 110 outlet beside the hot water heater...which
is insulated. I have also directed sink water to a grey water tank...shower
still goes to the black water tank to prevent clogging. I have a maserator.
Help me out with your suggestions...I can only do a total overhaul 2 or 3
time in a lifetime..<g>

Thanks

Mike in NS

If you have changed from the Kingsley orange -- perhaps new door fronts...

and if you are still orange...maybe new monogrammed towels...

And for the nedicine cabinet, someone makes fronts for the top shelf so it can hold something.

For more extensive changes -- new faucet? shower faucets moved to the wall behind the toilet, a new china bowl toilet...

I just installed a temperature regulator for the shower. The installation was not too hard, if you have little monkey hands like mine but then you got your water heater in place!

I tried it today in a bucket, using my on demand heater. Setting the unit at 38C seemed to keep water very constant. This has not been the case up to this point.

Here is a link to what I used. I got the whole kit but still had to make a couple of visits to the hardware store before all was done.

Putting in a Fantastic Fan was one of the nicest upgrades I did for mine! Works like a nice skylight, and certainly moves more air than the original vent. Just fits between the ribs in the roof.

Amen to this one. Its hard to believe the amount of light that comes through this thing. No more 12 volt light during the daylight hours. Your wife will love you for it.

these designs are very good for the clogging problem of black water tanks, the travel one is best and use it anywhere.

Gentlemen

Thank you one and all for your suggestions. I forgot to mention that I have
already put a lip on the top shelf of the vanity and have a pump switch
installed in the bathroom.
I can easily see I haven't quite completed the assignment however <g>

Thanks...and if you think of more.....
