Shower soap and shampoo dispenser ideas

I have a large tub shower in my Class A. My wife has a condition that makes it safer and better for her to sit down in a small chair while bathing. I stand up. I installed a great thermostatic shower control that keeps the temp perfect all the time. I installed grab bar for her. It works great and is safe.

Now, we have a bucket that we use to contain our various bathing liquids. Liquid soap, my shampoo, her condition and her shampoo. I think she may have one or two other items. This bucket sits on the floor of the shower while we travel. Once in a while, you hit a big bump or drive into a Walmart parking lot with the rolling and swaying.

The bucket works. We put it off to the side (the tub/shower has a corner on top of the tub where is fits). In my house, each shower has a wall mounted liquid dispenser that is AWESOME. Love not having bottles everywhere and on every corner or hanging from a multi-level shelf from the shower head. This is what I want and need in the RV.

I'm a little afraid of mounting a typical shower dispenser that was made and tested for a stationary wall into a unit that (when liquids are fully loaded), could knock bottles or containers or lids right off when in an RV in motion.

My question, have any of you installed a liquid dispenser in your RV shower or have come up with a nice way to keep all those liquids stored and usable without them occasionally flying around?

We hang a shower caddy over the shower wall. When driving the bottles lay down and never bounce out. When parked we stand them up, either in the caddy or on a corner shelf our shower has.

Wife says we hafta have the 4 bottle shower stuff dispenser. Bought one at a home store and installed it 3 summers ago when the coach was new to us. Mounts to the shower wall (ours is rigid corian) with included silicone or some such stuff. Cleaned the wall well with rubbing alcohol and pressed the dispenser in place. Let it sit overnight and filled it up with the stuff. Hasn't moved since. Mounted another in our TT, has worked for 5 years now.
Happy wife, happy......

Double sided mounting tape, available at Walmart or Home Depot works too.

I have a wall mounted dispenser in my shower tub that I purchased from Winnebago. They used to put them in the Adventurer model. It has been mounted there for years enduring many bumps and rough roads.

we installed This one from Amazon. Works pretty well, BUT you may have to water down hair conditioner based on the consistency of it. I suggest testing prior to an entire dispenser fill (don't ask how I know) https://www.amazon.com/Better-Living...nser+3+chamber

Great ideas on Pinterest, my wife added a shoe caddy that sticks to the shower wall with suction cups. Works great and it is a mesh so no water issues.
