17' Series Shower Curtain in Combo Shower/Toilet

[Flossymk1]

I can't decide whether we should put a shower curtain in our combo shower/toilet - when I asked the dealer about it originally he said "don't bother you will end up taking it down".. But I do find it a bit painful having to wipe everything down in there after a shower (especially as my 9yr old daughter seems to want to have a shower all the time!!). I've seen the odd pic on the forum, but I was wondering if anyone out there has some info/advice on their own experience with shower curtains in their van?

Any pics of your own installs would also be much appreciated!

Cheers
Sandra

Put a garbage bag over the toot.

Wouldn't be without our shower curtain. Came standard in our 2013 18.57-9.

Do you have a pic you could share?

 

[Paul75]

This is the only one I have. Doesn't really show the curtain rail though. If no one else comes up with a photo I'll get one on the weekend when I'm home.

We generally use our shower when free camping or the amenities are full/too far away/ don't be rude weather.

We line up our showers and have them all one after the other with a few minutes break between so people can get changed in privacy. Then dry it all down with an old towel. Keeps the bathroom nice and clean.

We do similar to @achjimmy
Have our showers in a row. I am last in and wipe it down. We had a squeegy and old towel on a hook for this purpose. We also had a mat made from one of those foam camping interlocking mats for the floor. Put it out for a shower and back in afterwards so feet stay dry. Worked well.

(wont have to worry with the Starcrafts full ensuite!!! )

Like wise, I find the dunny itself doesn't get that wet unless you take the shower head off the bracket ad start waving it around.
having limited room anyway I think a curtain in the pop-top just gets in the way if ya using the dunny

Actually, that is true. The dunny doesnt actually get too wet. It's mostly the walls that cop it.

The main reason we fitted the curtain in the last van was due to water running down the inside of the door and dripping on the floor when opened. The wet toot seat doesn't really bother me but Mrs dagree has a different opinion

 

[dagree]

Thought it would get in the way when not in use but in previous van I fitted 2x velcro straps and fixed them into a corner.
The wife bought the curtain today, fitted it and saved me having to fit the straps this time by wrapping it around the shower hose

@Flossymk1 here's a pic of the rail if you haven't already looked at the link @bigcol posted.


Not enough room to zoom out for a full pic!

Thanks for the pic @dagree ! I like your set up - how do I go about getting one of those rails? Does it run the full-circuit of the shower? (can only see 3 'sides' in the pic)

We have a shower curtain and use it, no hassles really, more hassle if you don't and have to wipe everything down as you say.

We have a teenage boy so it's a good way of cleaning the loo. I dry it with a chamois.

@Flossymk1 ... The rail and fittings/fixings were sourced from out local Jayco Dealer. Other caravan stores may carry it but the one local to us has stopped getting it in
The rail only runs along the 3 sides that you can see as the other wall is the one where the shower head is located (And it only comes in 2.5 mtr lengths so not long enough.... May be able to get joiners tho?)

Those microfibres towels are great for using in van wet areas. They dry really fast so perfect to wipe down after a shower.
