Two Bathrooms in an RV? The Last Decor Post

That’s correct. We have two bathrooms in our RV. A powder room where we store our stick vacuum, a battery charger for Jay’s tools, and his drill. It has cabinets, but those top ones are only about three inches deep. That’s right. Three inches. They hold very little. The Keystone Montana comes with a vacuum. It’s a large hose that will move the length of the RV and plugs in at the bottom of the stairs to the bedroom in our RV. However, several months after using it, it kept clogging up. We cleaned it repeatedly with no luck. It just clogged over and over and then stopped picking up. Yes, we read the manual and followed the directions. It didn’t help. So we bought a stick vacuum and we are happy with it.

I have a shelf in the cabinet below with books that we wanted to read from our collection when we had a house. And I have one decor piece in there:

The other bathroom is off our bedroom and before the walk-in closet. The shower has a seat, and Jay, at six feet, three inches, fits in fine.

RV toilets are a special item. There are rules, folks. Rules that must be followed. Some people – those who only use their RVs occasionally – say no pooping in the RV. But when it’s your home, so you live in it full-time, what do you do instead? You use the RV toilet. We don’t spend the extra money on specific RV toilet paper, either. It’s expensive and, honestly, the regular stuff is fine. We use the Kirkland brand from Costco. We’ve not had any issues. I would NOT use something very thick, like Charmin. And we regularly clean out the black tanks (poop tanks) and use special cleaners and digestive products in them. You can’t use wipes, only toilet paper. So I asked Jay to put in a bidet. That was a lovely can of worms. I’ll explain that in my next post. We’ve moved to Colorado from Utah, and this is my last decor post, so you’ll read all about it then. Anyway, here is the toilet with the bidet in place:

And we are lucky to have double sinks in this bathroom:

One thing that is a MUST in an RV is a dehumidifier. That’s the white and black box between the sinks. Moisture easily builds up in an RV. You can’t allow that. It will cause deterioration. In dry climates, I only have to dump it every week or so. In humid places, like when we stayed in Louisiana, I dumped daily, especially if it was rainy.

We also purchased special towels. Because of the high chance of humidity retention, you need towels that will dry easily. Ours are microfiber. They dry easily, even in humid places. They are a must. I miss our amazing ‘My Pillow’ towels, but we can still use those in dry climate areas, southwestern states like Colorado, Utah, Nevada, New Mexico, and Arizona.

You also need to know about the special cleaners required for things like the toilets, so you don’t damage the rubber or other parts of them with abrasive cleaners. We use “Unique Scrub-It RV Toilet Bowl Cleaner.” It works great! Our odor product is also by Unique. They have great RV products.

I’ve shown all the pictures I took of our RV home. Two days ago, we headed from Utah to Colorado. That was a day later than planned, and was all because of the bidet. So…

Next up: A day delay, bidet, and on our way. See what I did there? πŸ˜‰
