Do you use the tub ?

There is quite a good discussion going on in the thread "Do you use the oven".

We are looking to purchase an RV, and I keep insisting that we get one with a tub. That does seem to limit our choices though.

So I was just wondering...Do you use your tub ?

Would having or not having a tub influence your buying decision ?

Thanks,

Bean

We had a tub in our Edgewater and never used it so our V-Lite only has a shower and we never use it either, find it easier to use CG showers and toilets for the most part except we use the trailers facilites in the night and first thing in the morning.

We have had units with (1/2 tub & seat), (full tub),(shower tub),and (corner shower). All tub anything that we had you would need to be a contortedness to use it. Dogs and kids size. Youroo!!

We have the shower and tub with the seat in it. I don't like the seat there in the way.

We use ours during dry-camping trips, and also on hook-up trips when the campground showers look less than desirable.

Last TT had a tub/shower and in 7 years never used the tub. We don't even use the tub in our house, just the shower. New TT has just a shower and it's much nicer.

Didn't want a tub in our TT because I knew we'd never use it. Most of them are way too small to sit in, so what's the point of having one? We love the shower we have and we use it all the time when we have full hook-ups, and even sometimes when we don't. Just means we have to empty the "blue boy" a bit more often!

We use the tub for all the kids dirty, wet clothes and towels. Expensive laundry basket.

depending on the capacity of the tub you might not have 1/2 enough hot water to even use it, unless you like a cold bath.

We use ours just for the kids. In fact we looked to make sure we had one. Our 8 year old is ok with a shower but out our 4 year old and 2 year old clean up much easier in the tub. With a 6 gallon water heater there is enough to have a decent bath for the kiddos.

We had a popup previously that was shower only. It was a pain in the rear to clean up the kids.

Just to wash the kids and critters their size or smaller. I would have preferred a shower only.

My guess is if you use the tub at home, you are much more likely to use the tub in your trailer.

The really big negative is that they use a lot of water...
