Although RV camping is a wonderful way to experience the outdoors while enjoying the comforts of home, there is one pain point that still keeps a lot of people from fully enjoying the experience.
RV bathrooms.
Most RVs aren’t known for their large bathrooms. It can be hard spending a week showering in cramped conditions and trying to brush teeth over a tiny sink. Fortunately, there are some travel trailers with roomy bathrooms. Some trailers even have two bathrooms, giving you even more room and options.
Here are some RV bathrooms that provide plenty of space and the same features you’d expect in your bathroom at home.
There are several popular travel trailers that have spacious RV bathrooms. Here are a few trailers where you don’t have to sacrifice space and comfort while you’re on the road.
