Disassembling the Bathroom



























I've been making progress on the start of the renovation of the bathroom. Beginning with careful disassembly over a few weekends, and now cardboard markups of how it might go back together. It's amazing how many parts came out of such a small space int eh back corner of the camper. We've decided to go with a typical RV toilet with a black tank and also to add a grey tank. I've looked at a bunch of options and am having a new black tank custom built to fit into the same space above the main floor under the toilet as the original. For a grey tank I'm working on  a design for how it can sit below the floor inside the fiberglass valence on either the right or left side, it's tricky because the shower drain is so low, but I think it's workable. I'm planning to re-use the shower pan, but loose the large fiberglass surround that was behind the toilet to help the bathroom feel less crowded. I also recently got a new Valterra waste valve with Black and Grey gates to replace the old broken Thetford valve, a collection of 1 1/2" diameter ABS elbows and T's for the drain lines, and some 3/8" diameter PEX to start routing the water supply lines.
