Why do Motorhomes have Vanity units in bathrooms?? (1 Viewer)

[Brightonboyz]

Three months in and loving the Fun with Gladys our new found best MH friend Have settled into a nice routine now with storage; arrival and departure routines - having adapted these as time went on !! Only area that continues to flumux us is the bathroom vanity unit Put all the gear (toothbrush toothpaste deodorant etc) into the unit on departure only to find it all having a noisy party during and after travels Any suggestions welcome- we have taken to not using the unit when on the road but seems like such a waste of space

I use our vanity unit for all the medications etc. To ensure they don’t fall out or rattle, I use magnets on the door and thin rubber mats inside.

A little more elegant than our robust Bog Roll offering ... But, one day, when it's what MSM will describe as Day 5 of the Great Ferry Strike, and we're all still waiting in the queue. I'll be able to adopt a smug air and reach for the Bog Roll and head for the toilets ... [because the cassette will have rreached capacity, obviously ...]. And then where will your posh baskets be, eh?

Nah, you're right. Your solution is much more in keeping with the Burstner Brand values ...

Are the white bars those expanding ones? Do they stay put?

They do work well but I can't remember where they came from. Pretty redundant now

 

[GAVLAD]

we keep this in ours along with every other conceivable item that you go on holiday to get away from

 

[Mr Librium]

This works for us... custom cut foam inserts!

We've got some of these which we find excellent - they've got suction pads on the back so they stay put. We use them to store things in in the vanity unit, and also they're big enough for bars of soap in the shower (just turn them upside down to get the soap out).

Hi Ralph & Dave,

We operate at the cheaper end of the market and always carry a generous supply of toilet rolls [can never have too many to feed the cassette ...]. We break the pack of 9 or 12 open, and put up to 6 on the shelves, with the rest in the storage cupboard. The cardboard centres of the full rolls are perfect for keeping the lotions, potions, tablets and ointments that the older motorhomer needs upright, they stop noise and movement, cost nothing, and the 'storage' is using an area of what would otherwise be wasted space! With a 5.99m m/home with quite limited space, we have to opt for function over aesthetics [saves having to admit being cheapskates ...]

On a bit of a tangent, you may find that the advice to make sure the cupboard is full of products is difficult to achieve, given that on the face of it there's no female involved: consequently there aren't ten different face creams and three types of shampoo - once you've got the soap, deodorant and toothpaste sorted, you're done.

Our bathroom and 'gubbins in small pots' shelves have got thin bungee fitted across them.

See if you can get plastic containers to limit the rattle. We spotted these and they’re exactly the right size.

I take then Trev that you don’t shave, moisturise, use beard oil or Aftershave

I take then Trev that you don’t shave, moisturise, use beard oil or Aftershave

Shave: Soap.
Moisturise: OK, it's Posh Soap.
Shampoo: 'Blades Back' all over, so Soap.
Conditioner: Not enough hair to bother, so Soap.
Beard Oil: See Conditioner.
Aftershave: Not enough shaved space to warrant it.

So the wimmin can see what they are shaving....

I thought that‘s what the rear-view mirror was for.

Who has a shower room in a van that they can do handstands in ?

Since I don't have a bidet, I have to learn to do a handstand . That's relatively easy, the tricky bit is then stopping the water running up your nose ... Plays havoc with the sinuses

I haven’t tried because I don’t want the dirty water going from the ( my ) bottom up my hooter

Oversharing. Ta.

IKEA have a range of smaller softer / flexible storage boxes…

That’s what we use in ALL our cupboards

I can blow that theory out of the water, I don't use face creams and only need one shampoo/condition combined.
On the rare occasion that I wear make-up I wash it off with soap and water.

Open our unit and it looks like a stockroom of Superdrug.

Ours is more Orthopaedics & Chiropody Deprtment, minus the Blue Sign hanging from the ceiling ...
