Those of you with older Roadtreks...

I'm hoping to buy a used B in the next couple of years and am looking around to see what's available. There are lots of decent-looking Roadtreks out there, but I have concerns about the aisle shower & toilet position.

If you have a Roadtrek with the aisle shower---do you use it? How awkward is it to set up? How much trouble do you have getting water in places it's not supposed to be?

As best I can tell the aisle door has to be open to use the toilet, which blocks the view from the front but also blocks anyone from getting through. Is this a big pain?

My whole point in getting a B is to have a shower and toilet--I won't be one of the owners who never uses the facilities!

  • Forgot to mention that since isle showers work well, you can buy a new 2015 Roadtrek with an isle shower.

  • I like both my isle shower and toilet!! 05 190P

    If you end up buying one, let me know and I'll assist concerning one of the quickest ways to use both.

    Have fun shopping.

    If they are then they probably wasn't worth buying.

    How many are planning getting through while you are using the toilet?


    I understand that. But similar ones will be available.

    How many .... variable.

    I have a Roadtrek with the aisle shower and never use it. It's not that I worry about water getting on the floor, it's that a shower puts a lot of humidity in the motorhome.

    Having camped all across the country in a larger Class B+ where I did use the shower, I found that in the winter, the humid air after the shower would often freeze inside the windows and then as it thawed, water would run down the inside walls. Having constantly wet walls is never good.

    In the summer, the humidity after a shower would keep the inside sticky and make it difficult for the A/C to keep it cool.

    For me, it was a lot easier to use the campground shower than the one in the motorhome.

    FYI: Most private campgrounds have very nice showers with locking doors. Public campgrounds (state parks, etc), are usually not as nice, but still doable.
