Re: Changing shower to a bathtub
Ice2Fire -- what did you decide? If you put one in, can you post pix or give some details? THx. BTW, we have an Outlaw 37MD (motorhome with internal garage --Toy Hauler). Thinking of purchasing one of the 40+ inch tubs and just stowing it until needed (maybe pulley system to ceiling). Then pull it down and fill from the wash machine hoses when needed. Might put a drain in the floor to connect with wash machine drain -- or something like that.642Views0likes0CommentsRe: Sewer Solution

QUESTIONS: 1) Does the macerator turn on automatically when you flush the toilet? 2) If it's like a garbage disposal, when not used in a while (like an RV sitting for a season), ours every once in a while sticks, and you have to get under it to insert an Allen wrench to rotate it to free it up. How would this be done in an RV setting? 3) Bumpy -- what's your home made solution look like? Thanks. Oops -- I should have Googled it before I asked. Looks like it is all external to the RV, and carries out its actions WHEN YOU ARE AT THE DUMP STATION. I had the idea that this thing was mounted under the commode, and would turn on like a garbage disposal in a sink, while you're sitting there. (Might give you a trim at the same time, huh....:D:) )254Views0likes0CommentsRe: Sewer Solution

Also interested in camera systems, specifically: 1) Something that can be motorized so that I can remotely scan, if necessary. and 2) Is there any way to split a monitor screen, such that I could opt to have several camera inputs into the same screen (e.g., side, front and rear cameras) all at the same time, OR then opt to only see from a single selected camera -- much like on home security systems? Thanks.369Views0likes0CommentsRe: Changing shower to a bathtub

My house has 2X8(might be 2x10) beams with 12 inch spacing. RV's are not built on the ground and don't have the bracing for a tub. Water is heavy (62.4 lb/CF) and you also have the weight of the bather. And do you have room for a tub? Few RV bathrooms are that large. The RV tubs look like they are drop-in's into your present shower unit, having dimensions typical of shower units. In our past 3 MH's I wanted to replace the shower floor with a tub, but never got around to doing it. Here's a link to some options: http://www.rvpartscountry.com/RvBathtubs.html I don't know how to attach a pic of an example 24 x 36 tub. I imagine one would just use the present drain hole. There would be the concern about sealing the sides so that water would not leak down the sides when using the showerhead or splashing around with your baby duck. And then there is the question how to seal the front/visible side of the tub, where it would meet the shower door. I am sure someone has solved these things. Obviously, the size will be prejudiced against overweight people, and the elderly and others with arthritis and orthopedic problems might have difficulty getting up from being scrunched into such a small area. BUT, similar to your situation, my wife also wants her tub!231Views0likes0Comments
