Have never used a wet bath, so the thought of taking a shower "all over my bathroom" is alien to me. I know there are some (lovely, very expensive) class Bs with dry baths, but before I eliminate so much of the class B market because of a wet bath, I'd like to hear from people who have them.It seems like the upside is you get a much bigger shower, with the option to sit down while you're showering. But the downside seems like it would be a bathroom that's wet or damp for much of the day: the floor, walls, even the toilet. I imagine the next person walking in to use the john and slipping on the floor.What's been your experience with having a wet bath?

My experience...slipping and falling :BHad a older trailer that had a wet bath. Hated it.......somebody uses the shower and everything is wet.But it was the roomiest trailer shower I've ever used.Ended up wiping down toilet/sink with an old towel that was then dropped on floor and swabbed around then hung outside to dry off.Hopefully things are better now-a-days

We have Pleasure-Way Plateau TS with wet bath. We do not/not sit down to shower.We have plastic curtains on velcro which covers the vanity & area wall where toilet roll is located, When in the shower we face the toilet NOT the vanity/mirror to wash and plenty of room,standing up. I am 6ft1inch 190 lbs.No problem. While I make breakfast(I cook all meals), my wife removes the plastic cover from around the vanity & side wall, quickly dries off toilet seat and puts dry mat onto shower floor. Takes a couple of minutes. There is a ceiling vent and we dont have problems with much wetness anywhere. Some Bs have sitdown showers but many Bs are like ours. We never use public facilities.The demand heater provides enough hot water for our showers and by the time the dishes are ready to wash the water is hot again.I think having the plastic curtains across & covering vanity cupboards and on the back wall keep everything dry too. That is retro-fit and not standard but easy to do.We use our bathroom throughout the day and if it is a bit wet it's not the end of the world and certainly doesnt stay wet for long. It is a non issue for us.Hope this info helps.AL

We had a wet bath and it was OK. Had a shower curtain on a ceiling track that covered 2 1/2 walls. Closed curtain woud cover medicine chest, tp holder, towel rack and exit door. Toilet seat cover down kept it dry. Smaller footprint in the bathroom equals more living space outside. Best part was at the end of the trip, you can hose the whole bathroom down!Norm

We had a wet bath in our Lance TC and it wasn't bad, it was all fiberglass and built to keep the lower cabinet dry. To keep the moisture down my DW always wiped it down after we were done using it. On the other side I do prefer the dry bath in our current MH though. It is a lot easier to use, more space. JMO

Non issue. Using the hose sprayer carefully limits wet to you and immediate area. After drying yourself give the walls/floor a quick wipe. Hang towel up in shower area. Put bathroom style rug back in bath area (prevents slipping). Turn on bathroom vent if not already on. In a few minutes the bath is fine, any bits of water on the walls and sink will quickly disappear and do not affect the ability to use the bath. We use ours on every trip.
