Removal of Bathroom Medicine Cabinet

[cpaharley2008]

The cabinet in the Escape is fine as is, you just need to be careful opening the door after moving the trailer, other wise everything remains in place. I'm sure items in your vehicle move around while in motion, the medicine cabinet is the same.........

I have yet to do anything with my medicine cabinet. We just carefully open when stopping in case something might fall, though it resell does, real nice when set up.

I may do something some day, but it is very far from a priority project.

I have shelf guards in my medicine cabinet and have no problem since. How a bout a nice bright strip of florescent tape at the bottom of the cabinet door so you remember its there. Just a suggestion.

You seem to want to blame what I think as not being the normal standard, yet I have installed many hundreds, even thousands, of doors and cabinet doors and am quite aware of what design standards are. I have heard nothing of complaint from customers.

Nothing wrong with changing this if you wish, I was just curious as to why.

The bath cabinet is not in the center of the wall in our 5.0. When the cabinet door is open it's in our face near the center of the bath area. So it is better placed if the cabinet is reversed so the door is out of the way on the right wall making access to the cabinet natural. If the cabinet was either centered or on the left I'd agree with it's placement, but it's not, and that's why I'll be changing ours. We want proper ergonomics.

Enjoy,

Similar to what Perry said. With the cabinet offset to the right on the wall and the door hinged on the left the door ended up in the middle of the bath when opened. When something fell out I found myself raising my not overly hair protected head into it. Plus having to hold the curtain away from it when closing. By switching the hinges to the right side next to the curtain both of these issues were eliminated. Since my mods I haven't had anything fall out and we like the door opening against the wall/curtain.

That was my thought also. While I haven't owned a Casita, from what I've seen the Escape bathroom is much more functional. To me functional is nice.

As a side note people coming from Casitas unnecessarily delete the bathroom sink in the Escape thinking it is in the way like the one in their previous trailer. The bathroom sink in my Escape 19 is nearly perfect. Just big enough to be functional. Small enough, shaped, and located to never be in the way.

We did bungees as well (store bought) and use velcro ties on the shower curtain - works well for us.

OR, some Casita owners decide to have their Escape bathroom sink deleted based on Casita experience PLUS pre-purchase eyes-and-hands-on examination of the particular Escape model they are buying.

Just saying that "unnecessarily delete" may be your opinion (and that's valid for you) but it's not a global truth - different folks may have their own perfectly valid different opinion based on their own careful duly-diligent evaluation and preferences.

Just as in the Escape community the Casita community is far from a homogenous population - IMO and respectfully it's unfortunate when one paints any group of RV owners with one broad stroke of a brush and posts that on any forum as an unqualified statement as if it were a global truth (that occurs a lot here). Acknowledgment that "YMMV" makes for a friendlier and ultimately more informative forum, IMO (YMMV!).

Off the "side note", back to topic ...
