Can you tell me where you get your waterproof backing? I don’t see where you have that linked. Thanks so much!

[@hindegarrison970]

We love this bathroom renovation! Had no idea about the palisade tile. Super cool and would look great in our RV bathroom. We have a 1994 class A and have been slowly upgrading and remodeling as we can afford. Had to do lots of mechanical upgrades and are now into the interior. Your videos are very much appreciated, especially your tips on resources. We are in SC and have access to a lot of the same vendors. Thank you again for the inspiration!

[@fallenintocamping]

Awesome! We moved to NC from SC about 3 years ago. We lived in Florence for about 8 years, one of the best places we ever lived!

[@johnderbabian6198]

Looks great!

We are not going to remove our whole shower in our hybrid because it is in good shape, but old and yellowed. Have you ever painted a shower and tub to get rid of the old yellowing- or do you always replace with new?

[@fallenintocamping]

Yes I have! Spray paint works well if your doing it outside. If your not taking it out, I like to use the rustoleum tub and tile refinishing kit. You roll it on instead of a spray. I’ve used both when my clients don’t want to replace the tub or shower!

[@rideswithchrist]

@@fallenintocamping Thanks! I can't wait to see more videos on the small DIY projects that us RV owners do. Your videos are SO helpful!

[@brendan3081]

is it possible to use actual tile for the walls and bottom? I really like the river stone floors in showers, is it possible to do that with the traditional grouts?

[@fallenintocamping]

It probably could be done, but the issue is making it waterproof. When I use tile, it’s really only in smaller areas (kitchen backsplash) and it does not have to be 100% waterproof. You can’t use traditional tile adhesive methods in RVs because of the extreme temperatures (the tiles will crack and fall off). I personally would not use real tile in a shower. It adds a ton of unnecessary weight and it’s a leak waiting to happen.

[@JulieHart-t4n]

What is the backing behind the palisade tile?

[@fallenintocamping]

It’s a plastic panel to make it waterproof

[@shandiscoggins4905]

Are they heavy? Seems like they are pretty light..

[@fallenintocamping]

Very light. I think you can find the specs on Amazon

[@mattchilders3123]

Ms. Heather, where do you get that shower pan at? Is that on your website?

[@fallenintocamping]

I got it off Amazon, should be linked in my amazon lists under ‘north trail Reno.’ I’ll link it below!

[@leblancexplores]

Are you supposed to put silicone between the tiles? I remember reading that. How are they holding up?

[@fallenintocamping]

No it’s not necessary. And it would make a huge mess 😂 The tiles are interlocking which makes them waterproof already, and then with the waterproof backing, it’s an extra layer of protection

[@fallenintocamping]

Holding great. I’ve done this in 4 or 5 trailers now and no complaints from my clients.

[@reb1225]

Yes, the instructions clearly state to apply a line of silicone sealant to the tongue and groove connection between the panels to ensure a completely waterproof joint. And also apply a line of silicone sealant between the panel and the edge of the shower or bath, and on inside corners. So, yes, it is necessary if you want the shower to be waterproof. And it would take years for the little water or moisture getting behind the tiles to be an issue, but sooner or later!

[@janethbetancourt141]

Yeah I read that too
