Ok, I think we've talked ourselves out of a dry bath...today anyway... 
With our VAST amount of motorhome/camping experience (10 whole nights now)  , I guess we've given up on the idea of a separate defined bedroom. Current thinking is to build two twinish size couch/beds behind the cockpit. SHE will be behind the drivers seat and I'll get the passenger side where I can have a bit more footroom hanging into the door area.
The rear area of our coach was originally a dinette/lounge that made a bed. We'll convert that back to a dinette/lounge with a fold down table. I have the folding dinette and table from the parts coach (76 Eleganza) that I think I can modify. New foam and upholstery of course. That will be a place that whoever gets up first or comes to bed last can hang out and with the two beds up front we'll be able to get up without having to crawl over the other.
I've ordered a fantastic fan for the bathroom and will figure out how to dry the floor after showering. A separate shower faucet is in the plans since a replacement OEM style apparently doesn't exist.
I'm looking forward to seeing a bunch of coaches at Dothan and getting more ideas and feedback.

Kerry;
On the wet bath we have a large beach towel.
That we use to dry up the bath.
Then it's hung on a towel bar behind the toilet.
The deal is this.
You clean up after your self.
On the crawling over part we still enjoy that.
"yes I know it's a family form"
Thanks

I thought Jim K had the replacement faucets on the web site
|
he has a kitchen faucet but according to Nick Monday, there is no available drop in replacement for the OEM faucet with the built in diverter valve.
