A bathtub in a travel trailer is almost always a tub/shower combo: a shower pan with raised walls and a curtain or door, deep enough to fill for a bath. Families with small kids and dog owners are typically the ones who get the most use out of these floorplans.

Bunk models also often carry one, like the [Forest River Vibe 24bh](https://rvenvy.com/travel-trailers/forest-river/vibe/24bh) and the [Starcraft Autumn Ridge 20MB](https://rvenvy.com/travel-trailers/starcraft/autumn-ridge/20mb).

## Benefits of bathtub

- Easy bath time for little kids
- Rinse muddy dogs and gear inside
- Higher walls keep water off the floor

## Things to consider

- Filling a tub drains fresh water quickly
- Grey tank fills quicker when boondocking
- Tub size varies greatly, some "tubs" are really just showers with higher walled floors but not suitable for soaks

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](https://rvenvy.com/travel-trailers/with/bunkhouse) and [travel trailers with a rear bath](https://rvenvy.com/travel-trailers/with/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](https://rvenvy.com/fifth-wheel-trailers/with/bathtub), where the bath area is often larger. Roomier bunk layouts like the [Northern Spirit 2455BH](https://rvenvy.com/travel-trailers/coachmen/northern-spirit/2455bh) and the [Freedom Express Ultra Lite 298FDS](https://rvenvy.com/travel-trailers/coachmen/freedom-express-ultra-lite/298fds) are good places to start.

## Popular questions

### Do travel trailers come with a real bathtub?

Most have a tub/shower combo rather than a standalone soaking tub. It is a molded tub base with shower walls above, usually shorter and shallower than a house bathtub, but deep enough to fill for kids and pets.

### How much water does it take to fill a travel trailer bathtub?

It depends on the tub, but filling one uses far more water than a quick shower and puts all of it into the grey tank. It's no problem on full hookups, but if you dry camp, plan on partial fills or saving the tub for rinsing off.

### Which travel trailer floor plans are most likely to have a bathtub?

Bunkhouse and family floor plans are the most common places to find one, since manufacturers tend to put tubs where kids sleep. Couples-oriented layouts more often get a shower-only bath to save space.
