Where do you put the shampoo?
I've got the Jayco Feather Sport 221 and it has a very small shower / tub combination. There's not much room on the rim to put a bar of soap and shampoo.
I'm looking for your suggestions on how to create a shelf or place for these things. I'd like to have at a minimum room for a bar of soap, bottle of shampoo and a place to hang a washcloth.
Any ideas? How do you handle this?

We usually just use the little plastic travel soap container that you can buy at WM (box sorta thing) and keep it on the top shelf in shower when in a cg. We close it up and stow it on the road. I like it because it's easier to keep the soap scum off the shower surround (we just rinse the container out once in a while). Or if I am going to shower after swimming in the cg facilities, it's easy to grab and go. I don't like it because I have to remember to stow it when pulling out of camp (but it's on the check-off list so we do ok with that).
Hammerdown, I also like that soap holder you posted

Hammerdown,
Unfortunately, suction cups are not an option since the TT has a textured wallpaper in the shower and not smooth walls. I don't like liquid soap either because I'm somewhat sensitive to sodium lauryl sulfate.
Healthi,
What "top shelf in shower?" Couldn't find one in my trailer ;-)

You might consider using one of the soap and shampoo holders made to slip over household shower pipes (the pipe that comes out of the wall and to which the shower head is attached. The narrow half-circle that usually rests on the shower pipe could be bent outward to enable it to slip over the shower wand holder in the travel trailer shower. Just a thought.

Believe it or not, yes. Here are the photos: http://www.northtrailrv.com/inventory/stocknumber/6202
In hindsight, I probably should have paid more attention to that. After I bought it, I noticed the Jayco X213 model that looks much better.

I bought one of these ...
http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/prod...p?SKU=13382980
I had to but it on the back wall using a hollow wall anchor and a fender washer because I couldn't get it to sit correctly over the shower head. Works great though.
I didn't fasten it tightly so we can take it down and put it in the bottom of the tub when we travel. Maybe not necessary but we try to be careful and not create any unnecessary repair work.

JayRidge, I came to that same conclusion but I'll use the 3M command adhesive instead of a nail. http://cableorganizer.com/hooks/

The trick is to attach it to the wall with nothing on it for about a day. Then when the adhesive cures, you can put some weight on it. I also use two clips in tough situations. For example, I put two clips in my shower at home and it holds a whole lot of weight now with 6 months and no problems.

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWwwwwwwww... WE-DID-NOT-DO-THAT
Ok, when the (fricken) rain here subsides (at least a week now! - You'd think we lived in Seattle!), I will go out and add another sticky thingy!
Thanks for the suggestion Holstein

We use one of these for the bar of soap. It seemed to be the best fit for the tiny little shower in our fiver. The shampoo just sits on the floor or balances on the top of the shower wall until I knock it over, and then it sits on the floor again.
They should design a bottle that has a hook like a shower curtain hanger, so you can hang the bottles from the curtain rod, or glass shower wall. Better yet, I should design it and retire with my new found riches. Oh nevermind, someone already did. I guess I'll have to go back to working for a living.
