I'm assuming it's a hatch so you can access the distribution box?

 

[Alfie159]

Safe ?

Yup
Instead of having to lift the whole bloody shelf the edge of which is under the bed so a right bloody mission when it trips....
Hence easy access hatch.

 

[skylinersi]

Safe ?

Nope minxy got it right

 

[skylinersi]

Safe ?

But.... I am looking for somewhere to put one

How often do you trip the electric.

Don't think we have ever done it

 

[skylinersi]

Don't think we have ever done it

Rarely but lifting the whole shelf is annoying!!
Usually if we have the cp set on mix 2 and have toaster or kettle and summat else on

there are others, size wise, hinged etc, this just seemed smallest i could get away with and fit neatly, i sprayed mine grey, cut hole and fitted cap inside to use to remove, if you follow.............

 

[skylinersi]

Things I’m looking for at the moment if anyone has any tips...

1. White plastic organiser for the shelf under the bathroom window. I think that’s 7cm deep, though need to remeasure to be sure.

2. Bin - what do people plan to do?

3. Step. Though I can get into bed it’s pretty high if you’e 5’ 2” soaking wet. I think either something light and foldable or a very strong box that will serve dual purpose as storage and step.

4. What to do about the blinds at the rear doors? We want to sleep heads that end, but I’m a bit concerned about damaging the blinds. I could remove them and make my own blind with pockets for iPads, kindles etc which would be nice.

5. Shower storage is woefully inadequate - just enough for a bar of soap. There is enough of a gap between the top of the shower and the clever folding door thing to add something. Thoughts so far are something to hook over the door (but it’s very wide and the little plastic basket I got from Ikea didn’t work) or a suction hook and hanging wash kit or suction white plastic basket, which is probably my favourite, only needs to store shampoo, conditioner, hairbrush and razor.

ok, i can tell you what we have done, bearing in mind ours has the older bathroom.

i have stuck 2 fiamma medium pockets to the bottom of mirror to hold brushes, hairsprays, smellies etc

there are some twist fix suction hooks on ebay which are very strong, i have some but yet to use....

the bin, we have a small one from ebay which travels in the bathroom, and is then put between the front seats when we are parked up and seats are turned:

step up into bed isnt an issue for us

blinds are a problem sometimes, plenty of hacks on the forum from others, but none of which i consider perfect, so still pondering ....

I think you've got the Adria Twin SLB with twin single beds, in which case I'm assuming this is the washroom:

Things I’m looking for at the moment if anyone has any tips...

1. White plastic organiser for the shelf under the bathroom window. I think that’s 7cm deep, though need to remeasure to be sure.

I'd go for something that won't be affected by moisture, ideally with a lip to stop stuff dropping off if you're on a bit of a slope, if you go for one with a high 'lip' you would be able to leave stuff on it in transit. Whatever you get think about how you'll fix it as attaching it to the van side won't be possible/easy so support brackets at either end into the cabinet sides is the way to go.

2. Bin - what do people plan to do?

I put one under the end off the offside bed, works a treat, not in the way but easily accessible ... but see below for an idea!

3. Step. Though I can get into bed it’s pretty high if you’e 5’ 2” soaking wet. I think either something light and foldable or a very strong box that will serve dual purpose as storage and step.

I thought it had steps already? Ah, I've just managed to see a photos, there's quite a bit of space between the top step and the bed ... I'd go with a box half the width of the top step, in effect a third step, you could actually make this your bin. If you make it so that it is held in place with Velcro if you need to remove it you can.

4. What to do about the blinds at the rear doors? We want to sleep heads that end, but I’m a bit concerned about damaging the blinds. I could remove them and make my own blind with pockets for iPads, kindles etc which would be nice.

I have insulated pads that I can use if I want to sleep that way (like the usual windscreen internal pads). Alternatively put some bars across to rest against, or make removable headboards held in place with Velcro so they don't drop out when you open the rear doors!

5. Shower storage is woefully inadequate - just enough for a bar of soap. There is enough of a gap between the top of the shower and the clever folding door thing to add something. Thoughts so far are something to hook over the door (but it’s very wide and the little plastic basket I got from Ikea didn’t work) or a suction hook and hanging wash kit or suction white plastic basket, which is probably my favourite, only needs to store shampoo, conditioner, hairbrush and razor.

Have a look at B&M (or is it Home Bargains?), they do small suction clear acrylic type plastic baskets, about 69p ... they are very good and don't drop off! Or look on Ebay ... for plastic shelf/baskets ... there are loads to choose from![/quote]

A net bag for shower could be an option for shower, that’s what I’ll do

I’m 5.2 as well I have to climb the bed by sitting on the ledge then shuffling back

Great tips re foil thermal blinds as I do t want to damage the ones factory fitted!

Ikea suction tubs my fav I stuck small toothbrush one to the mirror

I have the small white square bun also Ikea and last weekend just had it next to kitchen by the door and holds carrier bag sized bag

Hi @Minxy Girl - will read all that lovely detail layer! The van is actually the SGX with the raising bed so it’s a fair bit higher.

 

[Neckender]

@Zingano , Jez @jezport sells clear Perspex covers which Velcro over the rear windows to prevent damage to the rear blinds, I have fitted these to our Globecar.

John.

Ah, mixing you up with that ruddy cat funster (@Cheshirecat57 )

Your profile doesn't say what your current camper is.

 

[Jane And Rog]

It was about to change! Will fix, thanks.
