Yup the cost factor makes me cycle back to going with the standard vinyl/Formica/upholstery. But a girl can dream right?
I agree with you. We got a sample of the fabric and floor material and my wife said that'll be just fine. Her one request was a microwave. So of course that's on the build sheet. We've camped in a tent forever, so every part of this process is exciting for both of us. Our options are all chosen, so now we are working on the plans for the 8000 mile/60 day pick up and meandering trip back home to North Carolina trip. What a great way to begin retirement!There's absolutely nothing wrong with the "standard." Compared to the other all molded manufacturers... I think Reace and Tammy have chosen well. And you know, you'll always do whatever it takes to make it your own. Whether that's items hanging from the walls or rugs or throw pillows, or whatever... it's not like you're going to be one of a thousand and everyone is parked next to one another in a park. Wherever you go... you'll probably be unique. Embrase that and make a ton of memories along the way...

While not a 5.0, I have all these in my 17B. I don't use the outside shower all that much, but the times I used it there were not many alternatives. Very handy for washing large pots, and for those that have them, kids & dogs! The biggest con other than the additional cost is it is easy to forget it when winterizing.Well....poo! I wanted to be #10! Seriously tho, congratulations Donna!!
I am still pouring over fabrics and more fabrics, 'til I'm crossed eyed! Oh, did I mention...I am definitely NOT a designer! I do want to try to keep the colors on the light side, kind of subtle beachy.
Trying to decided on other options,ie outside shower, surge protector (in or out), removable power cord. Anyone have any thoughts on these?
Pros and cons?
Guess I'll have to settle for # 11![]()

We have rarely used our outside shower, but would love to more for the reasons you state here. The biggest issue is having to go around to the backside of the trailer to use it, which is sometimes tough to get at.For us, the outside shower is probably the highest "bang for the buck" option. We're of the "live outdoors" mentality. The outside shower gets used primarily for doing dishes. It lets us be outside, and it's actually more convenient than doing them in the sink because it allows us to use larger and multiple dish pans, get more people helping, and generally have more room. It also gives us the option of dumping the dish water in the bushes (or in a pit toilet, or whatever) rather than filling up the grey water tank.
And, yes, it has been used for shower-like functions, if you include washing feet.
We don't have the removable power cord, and while we have the surge protector it's one of those "good to have, hard to get passionate about" things.
