Pop-up Camper Bathroom Mod

My dear wife stopped camping 3 years ago because she found it gross and disgusting to use the porta potti in front of the food preparation area.

In an effort to get her camping again, I added a "bathroom" to my Jayco pop-up. The toilet is as far from the cooking area as one can get in a seven foot camper --- 3 feet, 3 inches. The "bathroom" is separated from the kitchen by a wrap around shower curtain, and, has a new Fantastic Fan Vent on the bathroom side of the shower curtain.

Good creative idea.
I will second the idea of a shower tent.
But if you plan to also use it for showering (that's what we use ours for), be sure to get one that is wide enough. The one's they sell at Walmart taper toward the top and give less room to shower in. Try to get one that doesn't taper. Below are photos of both - what not to get, and what to get.

Good luck with that! Maybe in the last 3 years she's really been trying to tell you she wants a bigger camper!

I'd still consider a shower tent to use outside. Maybe she'll like that.

Whizbang.. Look at it this way. If she wants a cold beverage while using the throne, it's close. I see where the Fantastic Fan went....

My wife wants one. Not to poop in but to shower in. I had to buy a new popup with a full wet bath...for her, not me. She hasn't been camping yet, with me so the wet bath is still a virgin. Hope it works when the time comes....lol

I totally agree with your wife. Not to mention the complete lack of privacy. There are some things a woman wants to do without an audience.
