When it comes to Motorhome conversions, one of the key decisions that many people face is whether or not to include a shower. While there are certainly advantages to having a shower available in your Motorhome, there are also some potential drawbacks to consider. For me, the decision to include a fully enclosed shower in my Campervan conversion was an easy one, thanks to the ample space I had available and my personal preference for a high-quality shower experience.
One of the main advantages of having a fully enclosed shower in a Campervan is that it can provide a level of privacy and comfort that you may not be able to achieve with a more basic shower setup. In my case, I had enough space to install a shower enclosure that was fully separate from the rest of the motorhome. This meant that I could enjoy a hot shower in complete privacy, without having to worry about water splashing onto other parts of the interior.
Another advantage of a fully enclosed shower is that it can provide a much more enjoyable shower experience overall. For me, having a high-quality shower was important, as I knew that I would be spending a lot of time on the road and would want to be as comfortable as possible. By installing a shower that was fully enclosed and designed for maximum comfort, I was able to create a relaxing and enjoyable shower experience that made my time on the road much more enjoyable overall.
Of course, there are also some potential drawbacks to consider when it comes to including a fully enclosed shower in a motorhome. One of the main concerns is the amount of space that a shower can take up. In my case, I had enough room to install a shower that was separate from the rest of the interior, but this may not be the case for all motorhomes. Additionally, there may be some limitations in terms of water usage, as a shower can use a significant amount of water compared to other bathroom fixtures.
However, I found that these potential drawbacks were outweighed by the benefits of having a fully enclosed shower in my motorhome. For one, I appreciated the privacy and comfort that it provided, as well as the ability to enjoy a high-quality shower experience even while on the road. Additionally, I found that the shower was easy to use and maintain, and could be connected to a variety of different water sources depending on my needs.
In terms of the specifics of my shower setup, I chose to use an LPG boiler to heat the water. This allowed me to have hot water available at all times, without having to rely on external sources. Additionally, my water tank was 200 liters, which provided plenty of water for a decent shower time. If needed, I could also connect the tank to mains water in order to extend the length of my shower.
Overall, I have found that having a fully enclosed shower in my motorhome has been a fantastic addition to my conversion project. While there are certainly some potential drawbacks to consider, the benefits of having a high-quality and comfortable shower experience while on the road have made it well worth it for me. If you’re considering a motorhome conversion, it’s worth taking the time to think about whether or not a fully enclosed shower is right for you. With the right setup and design, it can be an excellent addition to any motorhome.
