Bathroom mods in Vegas
Finally got around to replacing the bathroom two knob sink faucet with a single lever faucet. No extra fittings, hardware or drilling was required. It would help to have small hands -I don't- to tighten the connections. It maybe easier to pull the sink out, install the faucet, tighten the fittings and re-install the sink. I may have done it the hard way.
Also, installed a spray hose on the toilet. I had one on my other two RV's and missed not having one on the Vegas. I used a replacement hose available at most home supply stores, cut the end fitting off and connected to the valve stem provided at rear of toilet. The valve stem at the rear of toilet has to have the end nipped off to open it for water to flow into hose. Very easy installation. I mounted the hose nozzle to the back wall with velcro instead of making a hook or holder.

What faucet did u use? Sounds like a good idea. My wife complained about the shower head location and the fact that water always got all over the floor when the shower curtain pushed out, so I put in a piece of 72"X18" plexiglass next to the toilet and moved the shower head to the side of the medicine cabinet. No more water on the floor.

That sounds like a great mod. Unfortunately we have an early Vegas where the shower is run off the sink (it doesn't have the separate controls in the shower).

My shower is run off the sink too (24.1). But the single lever on the sink would make the shower much easier to use.

Faucet install pics
I forgot that the 2014's have the shower run off of the sink faucet. You may can change that if there is access to the shower faucet from under the sink. Installing a single lever shower faucet will most likely be my next bathroom mod.
Here area couple of pics of the sink. It is a Peerless faucet, Model P131LF. Sells for about $30. I don't have any pics of the toilet sprayer handy, but will try and get a couple in the next day or so.
The caulking around the back wall of the lav top is only temp. till I can find some tan or brown caulking.
Not a lot of room up there

Thanks for the pics. Looks like a good idea, but I need a faucet that has the attachment for the shower off the back and a diverter. I can not find a single lever that has that. The only other option is to put a Y into both the hot and cold water and run them to a separate shower control. I am not sure that is worth it and I do not know where to put it.

Spray hose addition to toilet
Below are a couple of pics of the spray hose addition to the toilet. Inexpensive and easy to do except for the tight working space behind the toilet.
Valve and hose attachment stem on rear of toilet

Shower mod 1
Here are some pics of my shower mod. Added a 72" X 18" piece of 1/4 " plexiglass between the toilet and the shower. For some reason I only seem to be able to load one picture at a time, so I will do it in three posts.

Plexiglass install
Hi, I can’t find the rest of the post on how you installed the plexiglass in the shower. Could you please repost it?
Thanks

Glad you found it. It worked for us, but I have a 2016 Axis now and I did not have to make that mod because of the extended shower curtain. That mod for you would also be worth making. There are posts back about two years or so from people who found where to buy the rod and install it.
