Why is the shower in the bedroom?

In my hunting for RV floor plans and styles that I will be focusing on, I keep seeing this. It is an immediate "hit the back space" when I see it. I can't imagine the mold problems that this would cause on your bedroom carpet, not to mention steam in the bedroom. Has anyone found problems caused by this? Should I reconsider?

  • Most of the Forest Rivers' seem to have it in the bedroom. Some of the brands seem to love that plan too. All I can say is - why??
  • Not a problem at all. Everyone has their preference. The shower stall is a great place to keep the laundry hamper. Mold is not a problem. Whenever possible windows are left open for fresh air.
  • I wouldn't want that, and would eliminate any floor plan that does not have a seperate bathroom area.

    Yeah that's not a problem for us. We don't have any friends ha ha ha.. Guess that's why they make so many floor plans in these rigs.

    I agree with this statement completely. I do NOT want and will not have a shower in the bedroom. Seems just plain ridiculous to me.

  • No problems at all matter of fact I like it but like Chris I don't spend much time in humid places ether. On cold nights it nice to have the hot water in close proximity to the bed. Everything gets nice and toasty. There are other advantages but I won't go into that on this forum. :-)
  • No problems. But then I don't spend much time in humid environments. If you wish you can always run the exhaust fan.
