I spent some time tonight looking at some options for the doors to cover the shelves in the bath wall. Yes, I said doors, with an s.

A single door that's about 12" wide and over 6 feet tall, is just not going to work well. So, I decided to split them up into 3 doors, each about 2 feet tall.

That will be easier to manage.

After spending too much time on options, I settled on a frame and panel design, something like below. This just shows the frame without the panel inside.

That means I'll be working on that tomorrow.

Going to have to agree with that. Plenty of toilet paper can be bought for way less than $20.


You are building a one-of-a-kind custom RV and going to cheap out on toilet paper? For shame, for shame, for shame.

Toilet paper was not available with the one- or two-hole toilets back in the day.

I like to use folding louver doors and make them operate separate for such occasions. I have used decorative doors to accomplish what you are working on.

In addition to expense, there are 2 additional issues, (no pun intended). Oh, I guess that would be magazines, not catalogs. Lol.

First is, the saint I am married to, deserves more comfort than a catalog will provide.

Second, I use water and not paper for keeping things clean.

How about a one hole'r with a bidet?

After a little thought, folding doors in a moving rv, doesn't sound like the best idea. Maybe I am missing something.

Separate the folding doors and make them into two regular hinged doors. I installed seven shelves in a 6'8" opening such as you are working with, and it holds a massive number of items and storage.
