Very nice indeed. Any pics of the bathroom? What's the base vehicle?

I'm thinking about a Tambour door for my shower/WC Drew, does it rattle in transit?

(My mrs does!)

 

[DrewFix]

Nope. No rattle - fitted expertly!

Our van has two large Tambour doors on the washroom, they don't rattle, however a early model WildAx we rented had Tambour doors on the overhead lockers and they did rattle. My guess is the weight of the full height doors stops them rattling.

I hadn't considered 2 Colin but it may actually be a better solution for my van.

I presume they meet in the middle? What stops them sliding around in transit though? A single door would be held shut by the magnet but double doors wouldn't be able to have stops at the outer ends when closed?

Ours is a single door which, when fully open, dissappears between two floor to ceiling ply panels

I'm a bit restricted by the width of the compartment at the top due to the rake of the van sides. I could get away with a single door but it wouldn't fully open, should be open enough to allow access though.

Our van is a globecar campscout, it has two tabour doors for the washroom, one is about 3ft wide and t'other is about 2ft 6in. when not in use the smaller one 'rolls up' in a spiral track and stays in place due to shape of the spiral, the larger one forms the door to toilet and has a press stud on tab which holds it in place. You can use the larger door to close off either entire front, or entire rear of van to form a toilet and washroom/changing area, or deploy both doors to go around shower tray which is under a panel in the floor. What this means is when not in use the washroom takes up a minimal amount of area, although if you aren't claustrophobic you might just squeeze in the toilet, when fully deployed it gives one of the biggest shower rooms in a small van.
At around 14:00 mins this vids shows it being fully deployed, but like most misses that it can be partially deployed to just use toilet or washing/changing.

Both our single and double doors just stay put, no magnets or anything.

Nice job.
Might need a splash guard when cooking to save those white seats?

Can I ask where you got your Spice containers please?
