- Shadow57ExplorerI love the sink being in the open and the toilet & shower separate. I am really shocked so many people (on RV shopping shows) dislike it so much. In our sunseeker you could use the john & wash hands at the same time felt very tight and the shower was separate. I like this combo much better, as someone mentioned I can get face on while he takes a shower. I also love the big medicine cabinet too.
- ron_dittmerExplorer IIThere are unique configurations were the toilet is in it's own closet with or without the sink. Other times the sink is out in the open. If you have children, having things separated could be real benefit.
It is just the two of us. We like cleaning up in private having the bathroom fixtures behind closed doors, including the bathroom sink. I could see it a benefit to have the shower and toilet behind separate closed doors, just like we have at home in our master bathroom. My wife would say it is ideal to have a sink in both rooms but who makes such an RV?
One thing certain. Everything all in one room seems to work good enough as it does at home. - PopsExplorerWe have & prefer a shower/toilet together, with a separate sink. That way DW can shower, then move to sink/mirror area to fix hair/makeup, etc. I'm free to shower and/or do morning-nature-call.
- DrewEExplorer IIAre you talking about a wet bath (where the toilet etc. are in the actual shower compartment), or merely having the shower accessed from the same room vs. in a completely separate compartment?
The former is definitely less convenient; it takes more work to prevent towels and toilet paper from getting wet, and the floor of the bathroom is likely to be damp if not have puddles when you wish to use it "normally." The sole advantage of a wet bath is conserving space.
Whether having a shower completely separated from the rest of the bathroom or having a separate shower that's entered from the bathroom is more a matter of preference and layout than anything. I don't think there's any significant objective reason to recommend one or the other of those two setups. - Old-BiscuitExplorer IIII'm tall and when showering water sprays out over top of door IF i am not careful.
Toilets set off by themselves were always in small tight quarters.
So we opted for the 'all in one' bathroom (no wet carpet/bed sheets and no banging elbows in the toilet closet)
Our things we had on our list.....
*Able to walk from one end to other WITHOUT having to stoop/bang-bump head
*Able to USE/ACCESS fridge/stove/sink....bathroom and sleep in bed WITH slides retracted
*Reputation of RV MFG - stickdogExplorerWe wanted and all in one bathroom but settled for a walk through. Turns out DW is glad we did it works better in the morning she doesn't need to evacuate putting on her face or doing her hair when for me nature calls.
