Hi Folks.
I have a 2009 twin axle coachman laser 645.
It has a wardrobe, however not the biggest, also corner shaped, so lose a lot of space.
Therefor, has anyone got any recommendation for a storage unit to fit in the shower cubicle! ( We never use it anyway) maybe some one has a solution to share.
Thanks in advance.
Kevin

You could position a sprung shower curtain rail like this in the shower cubicle and then suspend a hanging clothes storage unit like this. Since the drop won't reach the ground, you could also use a fabric storage box in the shower tray itself (I'd place a mat in the shower tray first, to protect it, but these soft boxes shouldn't do any harm anyway).
A benefit of the soft storage boxes is, you can lift them out to access stuff more easily.
When you want to revert back to a shower cubicle, the whole lot can come out and fold down to store easily.
Hope this helps!

Some food for thought there lidds0
Just had a look at the reviews on the hanging storage, it seems its very small.
shower cubicle is rather large. Could do with something bigger i think.
Would it hurt to keep something like this in for a couple of weeks, or would it crack the shower tray????

You can get loads of different hanging storage units, I just linked to that one to give an idea.
I'd personally be worried about travelling with a camping cupboard in the shower cubicle, unless you could pack around it with stuff to stop it from moving around and doing damage to the panels or shower door. No reason why you shouldn't, though. So long as you protect the base of the shower tray, it's not going to be as heavy as a person, even when packed with clothes etc, is it? Just get something in the bottom of the tray to spread the load a bit and protect it.
Personally, I'd try to stick to a softer option. If you want to hang more clothes, maybe you could just have the rail (i.e. no hanging storage) and boxes? Just make sure you put something where the pole meets the wall panels, to avoid marking them.
Best of luck, whatever you decide!

I find the wardrobe in our van is too short to hang dresses or long tops. We just use a cheap expandable curtain pole in the shower cubicle which can be removed easily if required. However, I would advise to hang any clothes from a door handle of shelf edge when travelling as they tend to fall off the pole due to movement of the van.

We keep a square pop-up storage bag in the bottom of the shower for shoes and use the rail to hang damp clothes.
