It has to do with the iPhone formatting. If you save the pictures then change one dimension slightly it will rotate into the correct orientation.

Does the door seem sturdy? I know the sample I had felt durable. Does it roll up nice?

Yes it does, but when I first installed it it was not. You are supposed to cut the top and bottom tracks 1/4” less than the actual measurement. I cut them 1/8” less thinking tighter would be better. But they depend on a detent in the clip to hold them in, being too tight defeated the detent and they slid out a little making them feel loose. I trimmed them down to 1/4” less and now the detent does its job & everything is now nice and tight.

It retracts nice! We just have to figure out how to hang our soap & shampoo organizer since we used to hang it over the door, you can’t do that with this one. Will probably use the 3M wall hangers that are rated for moisture & the 10lbs of stuff my SO brings with her

Wish I could attach a video, you get a better idea that way.

Oh my!

I bought my 213RBSL a few years back SPECIFICALLY because of that shower!

I full-time in it too. 3 years running. And believe me, that bathroom is WHY living tiny is absolutely feasible. (well, that and the porch. Lol)

I'm paying very close attention to what you think about this after a few showers. Cuz I...... Well let's just say I'm skeard to mess with a good thing.

But on paper (in pictures rather) it's TEMPTING!

Thanks for sharing. Upload that video to YouTube first. Then share it as a link here?

(I'm hoping to beat WildWest to this mod. I just need the courage. )

Never thought of YouTube, here you all go!

I will give it a test shower after I caulk around it this weekend. But our initial impressions are that we like the quality and it really opens up that bathroom with the door open. It makes it very easy (the way it should be) to get in and out of the shower!

I have a spring shower rod in my shower, mounted back near the wall. I used shower curtain rings to hang an organizer to hold the shampoo and soap bottles. Then other hooks on it hold my bath poof. Two years running and I've only had it fall once.

You're a MOVIE star now!

And a good sport for your efforts too. Thank you very much.

I see one modification I will be making though. Otherwise, I LOVE it!

(I'm going to fashion some kind of "tray" on the tub ledge that stops water that splashes on the ledge from going under the partition. I got some ideas)

Fantastic when it's retracted! Especially, as WildWest pointed out, for negotiating entry and exit with the bathroom door closed.

I say this in all seriousness, use 100% silicone to caulk it in. I've caulked more showers than most people take in 5 years, it's the appropriate tool for the job.

The reason it was so hard to get off is because it was doing it's job, protecting the rest of the camper from water intrusion.

Don't be so serious. It's not becoming of you.

Thanks WildWest. Done a few in my day as well and absolutely agree. I use GE Silicone 2+ Kitchen & Bath. Supposedly 10yr Mold Free.

It’s all caulked in and I am working on the next 213 project. Removing the dinette in preparation for the arrival of our SofaBed.

Oh man, you're gonna be camping in style now. We love our couch, haven't regretted tearing out the dinette for one second.

Are you leaving the table out? I left ours, it's still good for food prep and eating at the couch. What sofa bed did you get?

Wow, that empty dinette is so Dejavu!

Eh WW?

It's so easy to turn the 213 into a personal masterpiece. Especially for its size and weight. Great job!

Mines an office. (work remotely)

And I have added kitchen prep/storage

It is. Your camper looks like a mini condo, very cool.

No, we are relocating the table after the sofa bed is in for the same reason as you, it’s a great idea.

We bought this one, it was on sale from $1,199, we got ours for $497. Can’t wait! It will also give us a nicer bed for when we take our grandkids with us.

Holy cow, that's stealing. Did you get the cloth one? I didn't see those when we got ours, I like it. I sure hope our fake leather one holds up. I've actually slept on ours, it's very comfortable
