Bigger bathroom

[BoxerMama]

We currently have a 2009 Keystone Passport Ultra Lite 285RLS and are looking for something with a bigger bathroom. Looked at a Jayco Jay Flight 28RBDS yesterday and really liked the bathroom, and the rest of the trailer for that matter, but are concerned about the added weight of the wood frame over the aluminum frame we currently have. Any suggestions on a light weight trailer with a bigger bathroom? Towing with a 2014 Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi. Thanks in advance.

Outback 300RB. Best bathroom we have seen and we love ours. Long TT, may be an issue for you.

Grand Design Imagine has some very roomy bathrooms with nice layout throughout and still pretty light.

Skyline has many models with rear bathrooms. The rear bathrooms that go from one side to the other will offer the most room. We had a 1978 24 ft Nomad (by Skyline) with a rear bath it was great.
In 1978 there were very few aluminum framed TT so it was wood framed but we towed it with a 1500 dodge with no problems.

We have a 26' Skyline Koala, which has a bathroom almost like the Outback that DS shows, except the wall between the living quarters is square, with storage beside the shower. Our bathroom door is in the hallway opposite the entrance door.

We particularly like the corner shower with no tub.

Not knowing what other features you are looking for in an RV (number of slides, length, etc.) most RV bathrooms won't be any longer, or any wider than the bathtub. The bathroom in the rear probably gives you the most space, like your model does.

If you do not care if you have a bath tub or not, a camper with a shower only usually provides more space. (Bathtubs are not very functional in campers anyway ... way too small) Looks like you are only needing a camper for 2 people (one bed), so you do have lots of other options out there.

For what it's worth, if the slide is "in" on the camper you are looking at, you will not be able to access the bathroom at all. The slide will block the door.



Really, if you don't mind going a little longer, a floor plan like the Outback 298RE is fantastic, a great set-up for 2 people. I'm not prejudiced in the least bit! 😉 But my wife and I just love this camper. Those dual opposing slides in the rear with windows all around, nice bathroom size in the middle, and queen bed with slide out closet provides nice space for everything ... although the total length of the trailer is 35 feet.

At what penalty for a bigger bathroom. IMHO a big bathroom is a waste of space except for about 30 minutes per day. I'd rather have a smaller bathroom and a larger living area/galley.

I'm not much help, but I do understand your situation. We traded our MH 2 years before we were planning because the redhead girl fell in love with a 1-1/2 bath floor-plan. I tell people that we bought a bathroom that just happened to have a motorhome attached to it.
