Rainier70, Howdy;
I think you are doing an extreamly outstanding job with the new trailer. The lessons
you learned from the first are showing with this one.

One of the features I forgot to include in my pictures is my NuWay 2000 propane stove. http://nuwaystove.com/product-category/propane-stove/ It has keep me warm in some very low temperatures. And being a vented system it doesn't put any fumes or moisture into the camper.
I have it set up so that it draws its intake air from outside through the bottom and its exhaust out the upper side wall. When traveling its pipes are pulled in and the openings which are 4 inch marine deck plates are closed to keep all dust out. You can see the deckplate plugs on the corner of the counter.
The heatshields behind the stove are insulated "air bake style" cookie sheets. They work absolutely awesome as heatshields!
And yes, the stove and taping do need a coat of high temp paint. My list of to dos is very very long!

I know of several showers that are nothing more than a full surround curtain hung in the main walk area with a tub to stand in. I used the medium sized mortar mixing tub for my shower for several years. My curtain surround has elastic in the top hem and hangs from four small cup hooks in the ceiling. When done I move it to its "home" against the wall. I did have the tub there to let it drip into until it dried. The tub was also nice for wet boots and waders to drip in.
I also used an outdoor shower enclosure for a lot of years. They work too, but I enjoy showering in where it is warm now!

It is usually easy to tell where it will go even though the slant is fairly minimal. Plus I keep a rubber plug in the drains that aren't in use. I was going to connect them all, but haven't yet and probably won't as using a bucket has been very easy and simple.
