The Jayco 32BHDS, like many others with similar floorplans, has an outside shower between the bunk and dining area slides. The space between is a comfortable shower size and it occurred to me that it would be simple to add some privacy, just by adding a curtain across the opening.

So, I picked up an expandable shower rod (one with rubber feet on both ends), a shower curtain, and (for extra comfort) a wood slat shower base. The result came in VERY handy on a beach trip over the summer. The kids are old enough to be shy about taking their swim suits off outside, but still young enough to come back from the beach with sand packed in every crevice. Here are some photos of the setup:

That is exactly what I was going to do with ours when we go to the beach this year. Great idea, and I like the wooden mat you have there, where did you get it?

Love it...I've got the same set-up,but it's the Cougar 304BHS and I've even got one of those bars in the bath for an extra towel holder.Well,actually,the DW uses it to hang her goody bags from.She has one of those make-up bags that open and you can hang it up on a hook..

Very good deduction. Looking for Jayco to offer this as one of their extras next year.

Great idea. If I had that model I would prolly use that as opposed to the inside shower. Of course I am a big guy and need all the room I can get to let my massive girth move...LOL

I picked mine up at Cabela's, when it was on sale last winter. I bought two, and they are side-by-side in the picture. The kids would be OK on just one of them, but they are pretty small for an adult. The nice thing is that they fold up small for storage. Here is a link:
