If I did it again I'd probably just get a regular shower valve. This one is very compact but I had to buy extra parts to make it work.

I had just ordered something before I saw this! That looks perfect.

They say when the walls go up you get a feel for the end result, they didn't lie!!! Started building up the interior walls and so far stocked with the results.
Panels are glued to the ribs and nailed as well. T&G should still be able to expend and retract with weather change.
Entry way and soon to be shower wall.
Goes up quick until you need to make some fitment cuts!
Baby window!

I never liked my original window latches so out they came and I came up with this much better idea! I covered the end of the arm with heat shrink tube and used them without the adjusting screw (or simply cut the rubber end) as needed to make them fit.
Still need to cut the extra length of the adjusting screw. I also build the window casing and cut some channels for the latches.
This one was too tight to mount the adjusting screw so it's a plain Jane version.

While at it I permanently mounted the wood stove and the stainless heat shields. I kept a gap behind the shields to improve heat dissipation.
A shot of the mini window sill, the 110v USB outlet and one of my 4 way light switches (push style).
Stove all secured and keeping me warm! That wood storage drawer sure comes handy!
Moved the beer fridge back in the shop until I get my house battery set up but it sure is looking better!
Also used some of my reclaimed antique cabinets panels to make the drawer face, love the look!
And this is as far as I've got done for now. (That small rear panel will be removeable to access my rear signal lights).

It's already looking cozy! That fire is going to be nice on particularly cold days. Do you have a plan to finish your doors? Or will you just leave them the sheet aluminum

Thanks.
I might add cedar to some of them, especially by the bed and dinette but entry one will probably keep as is. I'll definitely add removable cedar panels for the rear doors to avoid bedding to come in contact with the actual doors/windows. Always bugged me in previous builds...
