We used the same one that @topgun2 refers to:

 

The "O-ring" keeps paper goods nice and dry inside when the wet-head is being used as a shower...

Here's a pic of our install/mod:

Cheers!

 

How do you like having the door swinging in that direction? Do you think it would be more convenient if it swung the other way? It's one of my future projects that I'm planning for. I really like the way you cleaned up the inside of the vanity, I hope mine turns out as nice.

@mountainoliver @NCeagle I absolutely love what you guys did here and want to do same, however, I cannot find this shower faucet mixer/diverter anywhere! Where did you buy it?

Search for "scanvik mixer" assembly.

Scandvik catalog link. The one in above photo is likely the first, upper left.

Our now 16 year old scandvik faucets in our trailer are still going strong, as are the 15 year old replacements we put in the boat. I like their quality.

Good luck.

After looking at depth in previous installs of hatch door and obstacles this is probably not a viable solution for storage. (below)

This one is made more for storage but the box is not removable but I still think I would rather have this than just an access door. How often do you need to get to the plumbing?

My main problem with using the OEM shelf is the ability to get bottles in and out... it is just not very user friendly. 

They make custom sizes and configurations... maybe one could cut out the box to fit around sink drainage pipe.

And now with the same shower mixer as Mountainoliver...

Mountainoliver, the check's in the mail!  But... I don't know how to get anything delivered by the post office these days.  😉  

So glad I didn't have to rip the caddy out again - sure made this addition easy!

Thanks for this thread.  I am getting ready to do this mod using the High Sierra head partially because it looks very "angle" versatile so it can be pointed downward at a greater angle then others and because this seems to be a quality head.  What GPM did you get?  1.25, 1.5, 1.8 or 2.  Just curious and if you are still satisfied?  Also, did the head fit into the existing mount/hanger ok?  I am also installing the Marine hatch and this control:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CTQDRF36?smid=A1ACPRXA78MXSS&ref_=chk_typ_imgToDp&th=1
