Why do most bunkhouse models have standing showers? we are looking for a bunkhouse TT bc we have a small child (just turned 1) and talking about having a second, and the advantage to a bunkhouse is obvious gives us room for a pack n play or even a crib. Anyway back on topic a standing shower with small children who still takes baths isn't very useful, and it seems like most bunkhouse models have standing showers so it only leaves us a few to really choose from, that have bathtubs. I'm not really asking, I guess more of a small complaint or just an observation. We are looking at a Salem/wildwood (same thing) 31KQBTS or 31QBTS any input on these would also be great. Thanks

I doubt there is much demand for a toddler size tub and only big RVs have room for an adult size tub.Use the sink or find a plastic tub that fits the shower stall.Your child is going to spend a lot more time as a larger person than as a small one. Buy the RV that fits your family when larger.

Just carry along an inflatable tubhttps://www.amazon.com/Garanimals-Inflatable-Safety-Bathtub-Disney/dp/B0088QU1NY

The Bullet Premiere 31BHPR has a nice big bunkhouse and a tub/shower just for rinsing rug rats... ;-)

Grandma solved that problem in their trailer for all the grandkids. Good indoors or out :B

We have the standing shower and prefer it over the tub\shower combo. Yes it's easier for the few times you give the kid a bath, but the small size doesn't fit most people. We have a small bath tub and the flexible shower head for baby baths in the shower. Plus we have a larger bucket and an outside shower if it's nice and we want to give them a bath outside.

The Rockwood Ultralight 2702SS, the 2702WS, 2905WS all have tubs and are bunk houses. The Cherokee 235B (2 bunks) and 265B (2 full size bunks) also have tubs.

We've got a Heritage Glen 29BH, it has the small tub. It would be perfect for toddlers. The tub is kinda useless to me, and I'd rather have a shower, but it wasn't a big deal either way.

We had a popup when the kids were little, so we had to take them to the bathhouse. The small tub would have been really nice.

Yeah the tub is not for me lol I'm only 5'7, the tub is useless for anything other then small children. Btw you have a nice camper.

Maybe my idea of a bunkhouse is different then a lot of you, my idea of a bunkhouse is a room with bunks. We looked and thought about the many wonderful floor plans you guys shared, but can't really put a baby on a bed and walk away, point of the big bunk room is for the use of a crib. Obviously thought about just bringing a small tub, but then that's just another thing to deal with when we could just pick one with a tub.

We just bought a Shadow Cruiser 240 BHS. It does have the standup shower but the shower pan will hold about 6inches of water and has a drain plug. This was perfect for bathing our nearly 2 year old a few times over the Labor Day weekend. At first we wanted a tub/shower bath but after looking at a few and standing in them we didnt like them at all. They felt too small with not enough room for us.

Our 2 year old slept on the lower bunk in his popup sleep tent that zips closed-worked perfect. The 6 month old slept in her normal rock in play just in the bedroom door space. Worked well and is safe for both of them.

My TT has quad bunks and a tub (see sig). However the gray water tank is rather small so couldn't do too many baths without causing an overflow issue.

My previous Jayco 26L had quad bunks and a tub as well.

Are you looking at new models or used models?

My TT has 3 slides and is a bunkhouse. Last weekend my mother-in-law slept on a blowup mattress on the floor back there. I think I understand what you are seeking.

How about something like this:

Forest River 287QBS

Those cubes could be completely removed and replaced with a portable crib of your choice. If you want bigger still look for bunk houses with 3 slide outs. That will mean that you won't have the outside kitchen.

A plug for a shower pan, that could work. I will take a look at the shadow cruiser, I know I have a dealer not far from here that has them. Thanks!

Yeah the cubes are awesome bc you can throw them out and have more floor space lol.

The Salem I'm looking at has two slides in the bunk room, and still has a full outside kitchen, complete with sink and not one of those useless sinks with no drain, this sink has a drain, idk how they did it being I'm in construction I do want to know.

We've been happy with ours so far. Only a few minor issues had to be addressed and the quality seems good.

Also the outside kitchen has the sink and cooktop on a nice coated metal slide out instead of the particle board most other brands are using. No worries about being damaged from water. The sink is a decent size and drains into the gray tank as well.
