Re: HokieEscape Escapes

Doug asked about the stainless splash. Rease installed that for us, and I'm not sure about the $$. Tammy can fill you in on that.

Re: HokieEscape Escapes

I am getting a window installed about the sink, so am going to wait to see whether I will do a full height backsplash. I might either do it with the left over laminte, or maybe get some stainless as well. Reace was saying it was quite an effort to get it right. Stainless scratches real easy.

Re: HokieEscape Escapes

Hi: HokieEscape... Having a dual fuel water heater...we have never used the propane to heat water. Guess I should do that and check out the exhaust system!!! Looks like I've gotta polish up our S/S backsplash...yours looks so shiny and new!!! Love the new blinds...wish we had 'em.
Keep the great pic's comming.

Re: HokieEscape Escapes

Hi HokieEscape-

New member. Enjoyed reading your travels. Can't figure how to post to your blog. We are close to buying a 5.0, but need to see
one in person. Would like to see your 5.0 when you get back home. We live 90 miles north of Atlanta, Ga. Tammy suggested
that I contact you through your webb site. Thanks, Floyd

Re: HokieEscape Escapes

Looked for the thread on bathrooms, suction cups, shower curtains to shield the toilet, etc. Couldn't find it! So, now that we've been out for a week, I've got something to add. First a question? Why shield the toilet? It's plastic, so waterproof. The lid (closed) is a great place to sit while you shower, or open if you're a double tasker : - ) Our Escape has lots of head room, so we enjoy our shower, much nicer than our Casita. The gotta have for the shower is a "As Seen On TV", ShamWow! Yep, it wipes those walls, ceilings, toilet lids, and floor (if you don't have Dri-Deck - I've already ordered ours, and can't wait to get them in), and they're dry in a jif.

Nice. Where did you order Dri-Dek? There is no West Marine in the Sacramento Valley.

Hi Sandra, Order direct at http://www.dri-dek.com
Hardest part is deciding on the color. Keeps your feet dry, drains under it well, and in the middle of the night, keeps your feet off the cold shower bottom.

Heh again Sandra,
I forgot to say, they only do a minimum of 12. Our bath floor is 21x29 so I needed 6. If you don't want extras for another use, go to www.amazon.com then type in Dri-Dek. It'll come up with tiles offered by Kendall Products (actually Revival Animal Health) where you can get them for $4.35/each plus shipping. Only problem is, they only sell Almond, Royal Blue, Gray and Hunter Green. I could live with that, so that's where I ordered ours. The bath is ALL WHITE, so I find a little color in there is nice.
One thing about Dri-Dek, some people with real tender feet might not like the grate effect. If so, just use some flip flops (then you'll have them for the occasional camp shower house). We don't find it objectionable. When you get back from your trip, lift them out of the bath, and rinse down the floor, because it might trap hair, etc on the little plastic posts. Real simple. Our order totaled 34.09 with shipping.

Re: HokieEscape Escapes

Hi: HokieEscape...You must find your trailer crowded with ALL of us there with you . The pictures are wonderful to see. Shows just how advanced the natives really were in their own ways. We always carry a synthetic chamois to wipe the shower etc and a Rubbermaid tub mat for the floor...easy on the "Tender Foots".
Did you run into the blizzard or manage to avoid it
I can't figure out how to post comments to your Blog otherwise I would have...so keep us informed.

Re: HokieEscape Escapes

Hi Sandra,

Here's another option for Dri-Dek : http://www.gemplers.com/product/10047/1x1-Dri-Dek-Tiles
They offer alot of different colors, no minimum quantity, and price seems about right.

Anyone interested in getting a 12-pack of black Dri-Deck tiles and splitting them 3 ways?

Re: HokieEscape Escapes

I'm afraid that if I didn't get white I would develop unwanted microbial life and not see it. Actually black would be good if you don't keep it covered when not showering.

Re: HokieEscape Escapes

I have wimpy feet and find the Dri-Dek to be hard on the bottoms of my feet. I've folded up an old towel and put that in the shower area. Keeps my tooties warm in the middle of the night runs and is easily removed to take outside to shake out. For showering I use one of these: http://www.campingworld.com/shopping...wer-deck/24478

The nice part, is I can take it to the campground shower and use it to stand one while dressing. Nothing worse than having wet feet, then wet clothes. Just another idea.

Re: HokieEscape Escapes

Sandra--I just went outside and measured and I don't think so unless you want to modify it.The floor area in front of the toilet is 19.5 by 21.5 give or take....

Re: HokieEscape Escapes

Guess it won't fit... sorry. But it's easy enough to build just by looking at the picture. Or perhaps you could lay it down folded up? As I said, I use an old folded towel, I like the warmth on my feet at night and it's easy to shake out. I just use the removable platform for public shower houses.
