Travel trailers with a bathtub

Most travel trailer tubs are molded fiberglass or ABS units sized to the bath, so what one brand calls a tub and another calls a garden tub can be quite different. Some are shallow pans with a lip, others are deep enough for a toddler to actually sit and splash. Size and depth vary by model, so look at the bath in the floor plan diagram thoroughly.

Water use is the real trade-off. A full tub can take a noticeable share of your fresh tank and send the same amount into the grey tank, which is fine on full hookups and less fine on a dry-camping weekend. Many families use the tub for quick kid rinses and dog washes and take normal showers otherwise.

If you are shopping bunk models, compare travel trailers with bunk beds and travel trailers with a rear bath, since a rear bath keeps wet kids out of the main bedroom. Shoppers who want more room to bathe may also want to look at fifth wheels with a bathtub, where the bath area is often larger. Roomier bunk layouts like the Northern Spirit 2455BH and the Freedom Express Ultra Lite 298FDS are good places to start.
