Haven bathroom door

Up front, we're probably weird but from our first trip, we were disappointed in the Haven bathroom door. First, it really should have been a pocket door but it wasn't. When it opens, it opens towards the exit door, so for example if you step into the Haven and want to go to the bathroom, you have to step towards the bed, so you can open the bathroom door. I know, so what. We traveled thousands of miles in our t@b 400 and worked around opening and closing the bathroom door. You would be right but then again, spouse wasn't happy so we looked for solutions.

Option one was a beaded curtain. As you may see or if you've seen us at Parks, we have a beach/flamingo theme going with our Haven. Door was easy to remove and installing the beaded curtain wasn't too difficult. We did have to shorted it and then connect straps to each side of the bathroom entry to hold the curtain open. Over bumpy roads, everything held but at times the bottom of the bead curtain would get tangled. After four trips, we found we just left the beaded curtain open (tied to each side). (first two photos)

Option two which we have now, is a cloth curtain; with a flamingo. I used a very light weight curtain rod held in place right now with heavy duty velcro but we're going to change that to magnetics. Headed out tomorrow on a three week trip with a stop at the nucamp factory for a bit of warranty work. We think the curtain option is going to work but we'll update after this trip.

    I too have found the bathroom door awkward. Been using a small box as a doorstop (tacky) to hold it open when the AC is on, or if the Maxxair fans are running in the bathroom so I don't have to keep moving an open bath door when I exit/enter the trailer. I love your fabric panel idea. Amazon has beefy 1" wide x 23-46" tension rods that I already use in the shower to hang wet towels, etc. Thanks for this appealing & lightweight "fix".

    p.s. I also added the same silver Command hooks at the front door ;)

    The door is very awkward. I know when we were at the factory in May, we were told most of the Haven design team came and looked at our Haven. The wrap, the soft bathroom door, as well as some other modifications we've made. I like the idea of the tension rod in the bathrooms for wet towels. I'll make that purchase today. We did have to have both our exhaust fan/lights in the bathroom replaced. According to nucamp, they've had issues with the lights going out etc. The other issue we have is the fridge door. There is suppose to be a lock that when engaged, the door will not open while moving, however, it isn't working for us. We've seen other Haven users use hook/pile or a small pin to keep the door secure.
