Light switches

Next is the mounting of the mirror/cabinet over the sink in the bathroom. I like to get my mouth close to the sink when I brush my teeth. The danged cabinet sticks out so far that it's a real PIA to do.
And yes, the door to the control panel above steps in hall only got my attention one time to make that fix!
I’m always open to constructive suggestions. If we were to move the bedroom switch to the hallway, how would you utilize it when the bedroom door is closed?

Door for switches

Hello MOC
A lot of comments on the door that covers the switch panel.

We’ve tried several types of door.

We’ve tried mounting on glides like shown by some owners. When installed the door looks to have bad installation from the space seen on the end.

Is the solution to bring the switch panel back into the open and not in a cabinet? I worry about lighted switches being annoying in the night.

Keep them in a cabinet.

I agree with the fresh water capacity. I think in the context of where Montana is going with solar, especially the Super Solar Flex, there is an increased focus on off grid living. Given that focus, I think it would be great to see more fresh water capacity.

I am looking at options to add some water in the truck; maybe a fresh water bladder, maybe a small poly tank. Based on our experience, and what I expect of the capabilities of the SSF system, fresh water will likely become our most limiting factor when boondocking.
