Wet Bath

My wife insisted on a dry bath and we are glad we did. The extra storage in an AF dry bath (lots of it) makes up for the other interior storage that you loose with a DB, atleast thats the way I look at it. We can store all the bathroom stuff in the bathroom where it belongs.

I custom cut out a piece of carpet to cover the WB floor when not in use as a shower.

We have a wet bath in our 1150 and are very glad of the choice. Camper feels much more open and we would rather have the storage space in the kitchen than the bathroom. Bathroom feels "bigger", one large compartment instead of two small ones, and we find showering is easier once we tried it. I had never sat down for part of a shower before and it is kind of nice. That said if we were to be big skiers and have lots of wet ski gear I can see the appeal of having a dry bath to put the gear in.

A couple of things we did: We added lots of 3M hooks and shelfs to the walls to hang things (get the bathroom models made for high humidity. Frankly we added the brass ones all over the the rest of the camper too). This will not really help with the color though. Second, add Dri-Dek panels cut to fit the floor. This means you don't have to dry the floor or worry about slipping. You can get the Dri-Dek in many colors. You can find it at a Marine supply house or here:

We used white but here is what it looks like:



The other thing you could do would be to replace the shower curtain with a more colorful one.

Hello all, longtime lurker first time posting.

brholt's idea is spot on about the 3M hooks and Dri-Dek panels. We did the same thing in our shower. Had to buy 12 online so I put the extras in the bottom of storage compartments. Fairly easy to fit up. Brholt's shower floor looks like a pro did it :-)

We had a wet bath in our old Lance. We never felt it was an inconvenience. As has been said I would rather have the space elsewhere. A dry bath is nice but it does take up a lot of space.

I agree that the dry bath idea is not for a TC, but the total whiteness of the arctic fox series bathrooms is a real eyesore. Our older adventurer is a hybrid wet/dry bath that we both really like. DW has now fallen in love with a Fox Mountain 5th wheel. Might just have to own 2 RVs.

We put a new shower curtain, towels, and a small rug in ours. The wifey likes the wet bath much better. When the wifey is happy, I'm happy. :)

Great idea! Love the look and non-slipping surface.

We don't spend that much time in the wet bath, but are glad it is white to reflect light.

DW added colored towels, soap holder to add some color.

Brholt: Thanks for sharing that idea. I'm going to look into it.
