After recent trip to Osoyoos, decided to add shelves to closet, organizers to under sink area, reverse the bath door for ease of egress and relocating bath door organizer to bath corner.

Why would you change the direction of the bath door? That seems logically wrong to me.

Jim likes to take a D tour at night
But I wonder the same. Why did he do that?

So that when he sells it within a year to buy a 5.0TA, the buyer will have something to do.......reverse the door to its original position.

Or maybe just to march to the beat of a different drummer?

The door in this direction gives better egress and entrance to bath, plus allows use of the corner by the door. In addition the electric furnace in the dinette now can blow heat directly into the bath area.

Ours originally was this way and I had it changed along with wanting the ventilation at top and bottom, so it was a new door for us

To each his own, I suppose, but I like the easy "ingress" in the middle of the night. [emoji1]

So I guess you don't get up at night because that's seems major wrong for 1:00 am.

Took apart an old teak floor mat and repurposed it on the wall by the sink, not very deep but holds a lot.

New sink design?

Jim,

That sink mounts differently that the one in my 2014. Yours has a flat mounting flange on the wall side. Mine has a bumpout for screwing to a piece of wood glassed into the side.

Tammy told me the sink was the same in all models. Guess I need to confirm before I order another one!

Nice single towel holders pictured. Who makes them and where can it get them?

Thanks

Dave

On the classic that would be a real awesome add over the toilet on the back wall.

Charlie, in the 21 your sink is on the exterior wall, thus you need a bump out for the wood glassed in support. In my 19, the sink is on an interior wall that already has wood there.

Tammy confirmed they did change the sink mold; had to send her a picture of mine so she could send me a new one. Going to use it as a pattern to make a Corian counter for a stainless steel sink I found that's almost the same size as the Escape version, but deeper.

Figuring out the drain should be interesting...
