Gentlemen: Where do you shave in the mornings in/out of the pod?
Ladies: Where do you apply make-up? What works for good, practical lighting? |

I always shave in the shower, I do not use a mirror but I have been doing it that way for decades. My wife uses a portable makeup mirror that she places on the dinette ------------- Gregm 2014 171 2015 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner |

Best to grow a full beard. 😎 I'm going to mount a full length mirror, maybe on the bath door, as one of my next projects. ------------- Never leave footprints behind. Fred & Maria Kearney Sonoma 167RB Our Pod 172 2019 Ford F-150 4x4 2.7 EcoBoost |

Campground bathroom unless I'm dry camping then I suppose I would use a bowl of water outside. ------------- Mike and Cherie Michigan 2015 R179 2016 silverado |

Be sure to prep the place you want to mount it by cleaning the wall with an alcohol prep pad or 90% rubbing alcohol so the tape will stick and not fall off. I mounted this above the faucet for the shower. However, much of the time, I use a battery-operated shaver or use the campground's bathroom if I want to use a blade. ------------- StephenH Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7712 - ouR escaPOD mods Former RPod 179 Current Cherokee Grey Wolf 24 JS |

I added a little sink in the head of our 172. Made it from an 8" steel funnel, a piece of acrylic plastic into which the funnel is mounted, and a little plastic hose and a couple of ells to drain it onto the floor. Then I put a bamboo shower mat from Cost Plus on the floor so you don't get your feet wet. I installed a new shower head with a flexible metal wrapped hose and put a second shower head holder in so it aims the shower head into the sink. I's a perfect place to wet shave for those who don't want to go to seed. It also comes in handy for washing hands instead of using the food prep area. The only thing to add would be a little mirror. If anyone wants a picture, p.m. me and I'll send one. I still can't figure out how to post pictures here. 😧 ------------- Never leave footprints behind.

The mirror we use on the outside of our bathroom door has a pair of hooks that hang over the top, no potential problem of slipping off and breaking. My wife sits at the dinette and uses a portable mirror, with all the LED lighting inside, she can see quite well. Normally I shave at the campground bathroom to save on our water usage; we bring our own water, normally drycamp. ------------- God's pod '11 model 177 '17 Ford F-150 4WD 3.5 Ecoboost Jim and Diane by beautiful Torch Lake "...and you will know the Truth and the Truth will set you free." |

For those who are not stuck on "full beard"..or 5 o'clock shadow..an electric razor w/charger has worked well for me.
