One thing I miss about my 28BHBE. That shower was about the same size (maybe a hair bigger) than the one in my S&B. The motorhome is larger for a MH, but still pretty cramped for this big guy.

Nice to see a larger shower in these rigs, that would be a big selling feature for me since we shower at least once a day when we're out.

Our shower fits both of us just fine

You're obviously getting yourself too dirty if you need to shower more than once a day

Makes me wonder if their product development/design target market has been RVers that just use their RVs on a few weekends.

That explains the nylon bushings in the suspension.

Those bushings are standard on virtually every trailer I have owned.

For what it’s worth, after seeing this new style shower in person at the Hershey show, and having very high expectations from seeing photos ahead of time, my reaction was “meh.”

What let me down the most was the peel and stick tile sheets. The photos suggest stone tile. Not only are they vinyl tiles, they’re not even individual, so the fakeness is obvious.

If you don’t flip the bench up before exiting, you may hit your shin.

And you need to lean over to close the knee door to keep water from splashing on the floor, rather than just sliding a tall door closed.

And making the shower walk in, meant removing the floor to ceiling cabinets, leaving very little storage in the bathroom.

Not a slam dunk in my opinion.

I won't be buying another fiver, maybe a MH DP. I'd rather buy something used and spend the savings making things the way I want rather than fighting over warranty.

Our 361REQS came with a 5' shower with a seat. It was a selling point for us as We didn't like those small showers when you spend a lot of time in your RV. I like the one in the video. Nice
