Another Storage Solution (Update)
One thing about trying to share the limited space in a rig with women, is it readily becomes apparent that there are unique needs. A gripe that I have had for a while concerns the shower in the rig. Each of the girls and DW have completely different tastes when it comes to cleansing products for their bodies and their hair. The itsy-bitsy shower shelves provided in the rig provide far less than the required shelf room for the body wash, shampoo, and conditioner that each female requires (the math simply states nine different bottles). These always end up left on the floor of the shower which is not a good situation. After a lot of research, I ordered a stainless steel, over-the-door caddy that I am hopeful will get the bottles off of the shower floor. Scheduled to arrive the day before our trip so it will be put to use immediately after arriving. Here is what I settled on (a little pricey, but it is good quality and most of all rust-proof):

We have the same one.....actually on our second one in several years. The trays tend to rust...so I ended up replacing them. It works great and travels well. I leave all the bottles and towels in place while in transit. We have a 3455, with the bathroom in the middle of the trailer...so that might make a difference. Happy Trails!!
On closer inspection.....I clearly have the same setup but different material. Your's looks like it will hold up better than ours. I will keep that in mind when I have to replace it. Thanks.

My elderly mom now lives with us and we have a bathroom where we use the shower head style and it suffices but is full with stuff she needs.
With DW daughters I'm surprised you didn't need two or more of these.

We have basicly the same idea but it is soft sided with pockets and it works great. Actually have two of them. They have 9 pockets in them big enough to put large shapoo and conditioner. General dollar is where she got them.

My understanding is there is a chrome model which does rust and the stainless steel model for about twice the price which does not rust. I guess time will tell, but the reviews on Amazon looked to be on the good side for the stainless steel product.

Wish we had one of these this past week. Our 2 teenage granddaughters have been with us while on spring break. It's amazing to me how much "stuff" they need to shower and how long it takes them! But, what would we do without them. Just glad they still like to visit us geezers.

Bingo, you should get a commission!
You’re responsible for what looks like at least two additional sales from Amazon for this item. I also liked the idea and ordered us one. Thanks for the link. Yes it’s a bit pricy but it looks to be of great quality.

Bingo I feel your pain. There are only two of us in this big ol rig and yet there are 9,000 different cremes, shampoos, pre-rinses, after rinses, body washes, conditioners, ... etc.
Not mine mind you. Just give me any old bar of soap and a dab of shampoo for my crew cut and I'm happy.
We discussed this shower problem today and how we (kate) needed to consolidate. She mentioned getting some sort of shelf. I'll pass your item along to Kate.
Maybe you just spent some of my money too. :-)
Update:
Just showed it to Kate and she said if its good enough for Yamaha Mama, Stanley & Crew it's good enough for us. We have the same rig.
I'll order mine when we get home.

You all must have the bigger showers than we do! If I put one of those in the shower I'd have to push the wall on the other side out so we could turn around or bend over in the shower. This 2004 model just doesn't have the space needed for shower space! It's tough enough as it is now! No comment on my size either!

I guess someone else will have to relate the info on how well this shower caddy works or else wait for the update next week. Got an email from Amazon that ours had been damaged in transit. They are sending a new one that will not be here until next week. I will have to put up with the multitude of ever multiplying bottles on the shower floor for a few days when we finally get to go camping. T-minus three days and counting.

Why in the world would I mind, I like spending other members money. Seriously though, the MOC is like a smorgasbord of gotta haves, wants, and even needed items (those kind that we don't know we need until we see them here!!). The more we read and see how others are modifying, updating, and enhancing their rigs, the lighter our wallets get!! Ther perils and the price of the MOC!! Hee Hee!

Ours is due to come in in a couple of days. The thing that attracted me for the impulse purchase was the fact that it was stainless steel. It looked to be like a good quality item. Just being able to order a good quality item these days is a rarity IMHO.

Well it came in today.
Here are a couple of photos of how it looks in the shower.
I like the hooks where extra clothes or towels can be hung on the outside of the shower.
