I hope these photos load. Finally have time to share a few "baby" pictures. It's been fun decorating/modifying storage space, etc. More pictures to follow as I have time.

    Well done. Part of the fun of the Tab, for me, is finding ways to use all of the available space... ...and modify as usage dictates. It forces you to think differently... and I love it. I like what you have done here.

    Hi, Debbie -- Great job on making your T@B so comfy!  I am curious as to how you affixed your spice rack.  Did you drill into the foam board?  Did you anchor it in anything?  Have any "drilling" tips?  Thanks!

    Beth, the rack actually came with large suction cups, but I used very short screws to attach it directly to the wall.   These are 2 short wire baskets that I found at Lowe's, then simply set them side-by-side to make one long spice rack.  It doesn't hold anything heavy, and I didn't want to chance coming through the outter shell, so the short screws work very nicley and no anchors were needed.  It really took some muscle though, even using a power drill, to get the holes drilled.  That wall is hard stuff!

    Happy camping!

    Nice looking set-up.  Is that a duffle bag shelf I see in the back?  I like that idea, would be nice with that and storage below it.  Hmmm... gives me some ideas :-D

    These are super!  How is the toilet tissue roll attached?  Also, what department at Lowe's did you find those great little wire racks?

    Twocutes, the wire racks were in the Lowe's section where they have the shelving and storage.  The toilet paper holder is one that goes over the side of the tank.  Since the camper potty doesn’t have a tank, I used a 1½” square x 6” long block of balsa wood (purchased at Hobby Lobby) and notched the 1½”  side to accept the metal piece that would normally hang on the tank.  The TP holder hangs on the wood block, which attaches to the bathroom wall using a Command Strip.  The only trick when placing the whole thing under the sink is making sure there is room to replace the TP without taking the holder down.  I held it in place while removing the TP core and replacing it with a new roll before sticking it to the wall permanently.

    Nice ideas. I don't want to drill holes, YET. I was hoping suction cups would work, but not even on the shower door. I am a fan of them and use lots of small bathroom containers w/suction cups when we cruise. I hope to be innovative as you are, particularly with toilet tissue. I wondered how to keep it dry.

    One more thing: do you leave your bed down in the twin position all the time? What type of cover is that? Very nice.

    I found one of these at a thrift shop, but apparently they are available again here (in different colors too):

    Judy, since I'm a solo camper I leave the bed setup as a twin most of the time.  It's easier than making it up every evening.  The cover in the photos is a twin-size comforter that I just tuck in around the edges.  I have a 2" memory foam/foam mattress topper under the comforter.

    Judy, I remove the TP from the bathroom area when showering.  The least little bit of moisture seems enough to cause it to disintegrate; that's why it's such a good TP for RVs.  I found a wire basket that would fit inside the latched compartment on the wall behind the toilet, and use it to store spare TP rolls.  A couple of screws secure it to the wood framing inside.  Very dry in there when latched shut.

    Looks very nice, Debbie. It will be my husband and me, I haven't decided which configuration would be best. I do like yours, but we read a lot and may just have to make it up at bedtime. Lots of options. Thank u

    I finally found some over the cabinet door organizers.  I bought mine at Winners, but they didn't have too much selection.  I also found a neat little website www.spectrumdiversified.com if anyone wants to check it out.

    Debbie, how did you attach that plastic holder in your bathroom?  My husband and I use some double-sided adhesive tape to hold 2 rolls of TP. Stayed up about a week.  I do,wish LG had used a wall medium that would work with suction.  I have so many neat things for those sort of things.
    they will not stick to anything but the bathroom mirror.

    Judy, the plastic bin is attached to the wall using Command strips, one at each end to hold it level.  The bin's design has holes, so the Command hooks were placed to line up with the holes for hanging.  I take it down when under way or things tend to bounce out, then just re-hang it at camp.

    Love the iron skillet.  It's the most used pan in the house or trailer.

    Thank you.  I use those plastic storage containers frequently.  Our double sided tape just won't work, will use command hooks.
    I seasoned one of my old cast iron skillets just for the T@B
    On another note, are you using the cabinet under the frig?  I know we need to keep the vent clear, but I thought it is otherwise nice space.

    Conrad, there are so many of those plastic shelves available at Walmart and other stores in the shower/hardware section.

    Thanks.  Not sure Wally World will work for me, the closest one is almost 1 hour away and I have stopped purchasing from them on-line since they got comprised.  

    I found an old beat up rubber coated metal one in my garage that kinda works........it is just.......really....ugly.  Ah yes, vanity. B)

    Deb, I went back and looked at your pictures on this thread, again today and you have such a nice looking, clean set up, I love it! Do you need to access the storage below to rear seats. If so, doe it majorly screw up your bedding?
