"Mondooker".....Over the years the floorplans have changed and you get trends where people want a certain type. Many years ago and in most smaller trailers and RV's, the bathroom was all in one and very cramped. The trend went to split baths where you have the toilet on one side of the hallway and the shower on the other. It was popular because you really opened up the area and allowed two people to do their business.
The trend now is to have a large all in one rear bath. Personally, we have always been a fan of an all in one bath and had one in a side aisle model in our last coach. Our current coach has the bath in the rear, is very roomy and very private. The only issue with this is that you really can't have access to a rear bath when on the road. Consequently, you need a second bath while driving. Just like anything else, we didn't know if there would be a value in a half bath for other than during travel, but now we love it. My wife goes to bed earlier than I do, so she closes the bedroom door and I still have a bathroom to use without disturbing her. On a recent ten day trip we both got the flu. Having two baths was REALLY nice.
The toilets in my coach have two water levels. On the higher level they fill my black tank in two days. On the lower level we can get three. When boondocking, we can get a week if we're careful. I added an elcetric drain and SaniCon system to my coach which are controllable from the inside. I can drain my tanks with a flip of a switch when hooked up. It's really convenient when dumping before breaking camp.
