    No regrets Julia. Just issues that need to be addressed in the future. Your Palace on Wheels will always require some adjustments and tweaks.

    The biggest regret I’ve heard from people on the road , is bed length .. this basic thing seems to get forgotten when building out a van .

    Suggestions, only suggestions... They sell little plastic slides you can glue on the bottom of your toilet to help it slide... Bungee cords for EVERY THING, like across the cabinet in front of toilet. I have bungee cords everywhere in my trailer. They are my duct tape! 😁

    Try trimming the rim off ur trash can...or maybe pull edges of trash bags with a large thick rubber band then use like Poster puddy u can flatten bag edges or over hang part to tighten bag edges till pulled flat...poster puddy is really cheap and can reuse or toss if it gets hard or yucky?? Or maybe try like Compactor Bags? They have flat bottom and stand almost on their own?? Guess could trim to fit Size of the cabinet space? Tho those bags aren't really very cheap$$

    Get a cardboard box the same size as your trash drawer to use as a garbage can. Put the plastic bag inside the cardboard box and tuck the edges of the bag in between the box and the drawer.

    Bungee cord. Marine and outdoor shops sell it by the foot off a spool. A loop of it fastened to the back wall via holes and knots around the toilet will keep it in place. Another of it tied in a loop and knoted like a rubber band and will secure that garbage bag in place.

    What's that square thing in the area where the window would be? (Pull down table?) You can buy a small trash bin (or a piece of storage tupperware) at the dollar store, so you can put the bag over your can, not the drawer. You can buy 4 lockable casters and screw them on a square of wood, for a rolling porta potty. Get a fan for your skylight - for air.

    Babydoll, re the toilet you can buy a caster frame that locks, also use a wire across the storage area. Re the bin, put a smaller bin inside it. You can buy a door fan. Easy to install.A caravan depot would have all the things you need to help you. Also Target stores. ❤to you.
