ABSTRACT:
A modular bathroom unit configured for comfort and spaciousness, with a relatively small footprint. The preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a commode, shower with floor drain, and a relatively large lavatory, which is configured to pivot to a vertical position for space savings when not in use, or to a horizontal position for use. Further contemplated is a unique drain connection system, wherein the lavatory drain includes a drainpipe connection to a stationary drainpipe built into the wall structure of the unit, the connection accomplished without the requirement of hoses, pipe fittings or the like. The present invention provides a shower and toilet facility which may be utilized with no impositions or restrictions on the user, while the interior is configured to be watertight, with a sealed door, and an easily cleaned interior surface. The preferred embodiment of the present invention is fabricated as a one-piece, molded fiberglass unit, although other methods of manufacture may also be employed, with satisfactory results. The present system may be utilized as a stand alone, portable bathroom facility, or may be implemented in the form of a space saving bathroom, in a building or other structure, or in a camper, boat, or modular housing or the like, or any other location where a small, yet full-featured bathroom is desired.
