Looking at new campers, what a daunting task. The dry baths are nice but take up soo much room. We really like the Arctic Fox 996 , and the DW is OK with the wet bath except it is SO WHITE and antiseptic. Any ideas on how to make it look less hospital and more bathroom.

Don't clean it. You'll have plenty of color soon enough :)

I never clean it....that's womens work!!! :W

I was at The Home Depot and found these vinyl tiles that would be awesome to decorate or spruce up you steril white walls in the wet bath. I read, I believe on this forum, that someone used them as a back splash in their galley. They are peel and stick and I should have read more, but I believe water proof as well. I took two pics of the display they had.....

The wet bath in the AF811 has been our first experience. We would prefer a dry bath because we often camp in wet weather and would like a place to leave wet gear to dry instead of always having to move it to access the bathroom. However with our shorter floor plan, it would take too much space. When I tow the trailer, I have a clothes line strung inside but it takes a while for things to dry if you don't pump heat or blow air through it. I also agree that having to store towels and other items outside of the bath takes away from usable storage. If these items had a place within the bath, it would free up some room in our cabinets.

The Host Aspen or Chinook have a dry bath for a short bed truck, but the weight would prevent me from towing anything large with my current truck.

Did you mean dry bath of the 992?

We were looking at the 990 or the 992 last year. The dry bath looked nice but took up a lot of room. The wife also thought when the person sleeping behind the dry bath got out of bed they would have to crawl over and disturb the other person. So we went with the 990.

Thanks 425 ,I fixed it.

We have a 2008 990 AF and love it. This our first truck camper and we were real apprehensive about the wet bath, but it is great. I like the white as said before it helps with the brightness. We spent 5 months in the TC this past summer workcamping and a little travel. We full time and have a 40 foot 5th wheel, the TC is really different but it is a lot easier to get around than a 22 foot pick up and a 40 foot 5th wheel. Planning a cross country trip this summer with a lot of boondocking. Good luck on your decision AF is a good unit.

I put a dinning-room table place mat on the floor of the shower. It fit perfect in the recessed area, covering the shower drain, too. It's water proof, easy to clean, dries quickly, has a scratch resistant bottom, adds a little color and is easy to stand on with bare feet. I didn't want little squares/holes for the dirt to get past (now the dirt gathers at the edge of the mat, I guess).
I looked for one of those rubber bath tub mats that have the little suction cups on the bottom, but I haven't found one, yet. I figured one of those wouldn't slip and would retain what little dirt we leave in the bathroom from the bottom of our socks/bare feet. Typically, shoes don't go in the bathroom, but the camper is still brand new. That attitude may change in 5 or 6 years. Perhaps sooner, if I get to mountain bike as much as I should.

You don't notice the "big square" holes. You will notice the little round "nibs" that make it non slide.
