Hi all - looking to add a small shelf or two to the wet bath in our 179; maybe one on either side of the sink. Thinking small (maybe 3" wide by 8-9"long), just big enough to put shaving soap, toothpaste, etc while using the sink. Was thinking about fabricating something from small pieces of 1/2" corian or similar material but cant find anything available like that. Anyone find a good solution for small bath shelves?

You may want to go to a plastic supply store. (We purchased plexiglass from TAP Plastics [a west coast store] and used it to make the base for our "sink.") You can get clear, colored, or opaque plastics that are easy to cut and glue together to form your shelf. We went to a dollar store and got a cup/tooth brush holder and a soap holder that I attached with 3M 2 sided sticky tape. Together, the two hold everything you describe. Total cost $2. ------------- Never leave footprints behind. Fred & Maria Kearney Sonoma 167RB Our Pod 172 2019 Ford F-150 4x4 2.7 EcoBoost |

Yes I make my own tambour, the cabinet is recessed by about 3" into the wall. https://postimg.cc/image/ljkjzpm3r/"> ------------- If you want something done right, do it yourself. 2011 RP172, 2016 Tundra 5.7 Litre, Ltd. |

try hdpe (plastic cutting boards) cheap and lasts forever, cuts with normal saw blades and very strong and water is never a problem.

Marwayne. That cabinet looks great, but what do you do about water protection? ------------- bp 2017 R-Pod 179 Hood River 2015 Ford F150 SuperCrew 4WD 3.5L Ecoboost |

No problem, the cabinet gets covered by the shower curtain. ------------- If you want something done right, do it yourself. 2011 RP172, 2016 Tundra 5.7 Litre, Ltd. |
