I would like to move the toilet and make a closet for it.
I am thinking to move the sink next to the shower and cut that L shape end and then put the toilet in the corner behind a door.
can I cut the counter top.
I will have to deal with the top cabinets as well which I am assuming they can be moved .
or just cut the counter top behind the toilet move the toilet back and put the toilet and sink in a closet.
would love to know if anyone has done it and how it turned out.
or turn the toilet facing the sink and move it close to the shower stall and then enclose it
any idea are welcome
The counter should be curable with a carbide blade.
Is the toilet a direct drop into the black tank? That's going to be your biggest challenge in moving the toilet. Probably have to pull the black tank, patch the hole, plumb a new hole in for the new toilet location. Room will be extremely limited to work on the top of the tank if you need to add a pipe from the new toilet location if direct drop is not possible.

I have zero remodel skills, so speaking from the viewpoint of a total amateur: seems like a LOT of work just to get a private potty stall. Don't you get the same result by simply closing both bathroom doors?
BUT, that said, I do admire your ambition, and wish you good luck with your project. 8)
That is a walk thru front entry floor plan, just like ours! We love it. Had the private commode in our other coach and did not care for it. When you close both pocket doors, you have your privacy and a much larger space! Just my opinion, but having done large remodels, this one would be a nightmare for sure!
For a sure fire, no fuss solution, trade for a private potty coach.
From toilet to black tank is probably the biggest challenge. A macerator toilet might make process simpler. Smaller piping to black tank.
The modifications you are suggesting would be quite difficult to accomplish and would make the coach significantly more difficult to sell when the time comes. Therefore either leave it alone or sell it and buy one that already has the separate toilet room.
How long have you owned your coach? How much time have you spent traveling and living in it? Have you already spent a lot of time and money getting maintenance up to date and remodeling the coach?
We have spent the last fifteen months living full time with our "pass through" bathroom. We had not shared a bathroom for more than ten years. We initially thought a private commode was a must have, but we like the "commodious" shower, dressing, and toilet room and would not trade it. With two doors and a "modest" amount of communication it works very well for us. Every RV is a study in compromise as to size, cost, layout, reliability, comfort, maneuverability, etc.
Looks like you have already started the remodel and are seeking advice on how to accomplish a private potty. (I would put it back to original and either learn to live with it or trade it.) A simple solution that accomplishes your goal of a private throne would be to install a SunMar composting toilet, which is actually a urine diverting toilet with a bag for collecting poop - twice the fun! Better than a Nature's Head in my opinion. You will need a 12V power source and tie the toilet vent fan into the existing vent pipe. Porta Potti is also an option. It will fill up rather quickly with full time use. Remodel wise that's very easy. You could then install a third valve on your dump station and dramatically increase your gray water holding capacity for extra nice long showers while boondocking.
Or you could break new ground in Foretravel remodeling lore and relocate everything as you imagine. You probably have the skills and determination to make it happen, but it won't be easy. The trouble with free advice is that it flows freely...
after many hours of thinking and planning I have made the decision to turn the toilet (maceration toilet) facing the sink and then put a wall between the shower and the rest of the bathroom and then use an accordion door.
the space alloted would not let me do the toilet closet and sink in the middle
everything will stay in place turn the toilet and add a wall with a dooribstarted working on the frame and will post pics when done.
this will solve the problem and I could always preserve whats been done by the factory.
We have the same floor plan. We installed a Tecma macerator toilet 5 years. It works fine, just make sure you feed it electrically with a large enough power wire (needs to be larger than the power wire used for the vacu flush toilet).
I finally got the bathroom walls up.
the toilet will be turned to face the sink thus giving us space to be able to use the facilities.
it was accomplished with minimal damage to the existing coach walls
we cut the panels in a way to be tight fit against the existing.
it serves the purpose and can be easily removed
Well done ^.^d
