We brought home our new mini-tub/shower and toilet. The tub &
shower combo in the trailer was not going to come out in one
piece. It also took up a lot more room than necessary, so we
decided to pick one up at the RV resale place here in town. As for
the toilet... Well, it was pretty disgusting... Let's just
say that there are some things that just are not worth salvaging.
Becky didn't seem to mind the extra expense <grin>

We moved the kitchen and bath appliances until we found an arrangement
that looked like it would work both in terms of aesthetics and layout
for plumbing, wiring and venting.
We had so wanted the fridge next to the hallway (where the sink is
sitting in the picture), but with the venting requirements, I couldn't
come up with an acceptable solution, so it will have to live where it is
now.

The shower measures 30 inches wide by 24 inches deep. We wanted it
as close to the center of the bus as possible because of the ceiling
height. The bottom of the tub is 4.5 inches off the floor.
With the shower in the center I can stand up with about 5-6 inches of
clearance above my head (the same height as the walls of the shower).
The toilet will have it's own spot between the shower and the outside
wall of the bus. Both need to be located along this wall to get to
the location of the black and gray water tanks.

This shot is from the hallway showing what you will most likely see from
the door in the hallway.
The showers at the RV supply store were stored outside and got a bit
of dirt on them. As you can see ours needs a bit of cleaning to
pass wife inspection. <grin>
Now that the important pieces have a home and I know where the final
walls will be, I can them done. I will then start working on the plumbing
and wiring for both 110V and 12V.
