Marco gets a New Bathroom

Marco OEM Bathroom took too much space in a 17ft TT so the project became installing a combo Shower-Pan/Toilet-Tank unit in place of the OEM Bathroom. A combo shower pan with a built-in 7Gal Toilet Tank was procured.

This is the underside of a similar unit. The black part is the Toilet holding tank.

The Shower-Pan/Toilet-Tank ready to install with
wood support structure added.
A standard "short" RV Toilet
bolts to the black Flange.

These 1X2 Oak pieces
were added to better support the Toilet. They are screwed to the box structure and the Toilet mounting Flange is screwed to them in turn.

The Combo unit in place in Marco. This will be what is called a "Wet Bath", wherein the entire Bathroom functions as a Shower enclosure.
DWV Plumbing installed. The foreground void will be filled in and become a high threshold when stepping up into the Bathroom.
 
The Sink finished. Spar Urethane makes it Waterproof.... (remember, "Wet Bath”?)


This view shows the location of the Telephone Shower Head and other details.

The new Bathroom is more compact than the OEM facility was.
The bifolding Pine door was retained.

 The OEM Bathroom.


New Drain Plumbing was required
to connect the permanent Sewage Macerator Pump.
The Toilet Tank is situated inside under the Toilet but above the Floor. It's Drain exits vertically through the large valve seen in the PIC. The small valve behind and below the large valve controls flow from the graywater tank to the Macerator Pump, seen bottom Left in the PIC. A stone guard was constructed to protect the pump and plumbing from stuff thrown by the wheel. The 3/4” Sewage discharge hose is in the foreground.
