How many actually use the shower in a 23ss

[gwizpro]

Hi, Being campers who always use electrical sites and we are always near shower facilities, we find we never use the shower in our 23SS. Seems like a lot of wasted space for us. I'm sure a lot of folks use it. But I am contemplating putting a cabinet in the slot and I will leave the shower unit in place. Has anyone ever modded this area and does anyone have opinions or ideas for the space.

we use ours all the time and we are not skinny people.

we love having one and after adding an Oxygenics showerhead, we love it even more.

not having to schlep our stuff to the campground showers and having to pay, is way worth it.

and we never have water hookups, we use the FW tank on the trailer.

we would never give it up for extra storage space.

Hi, We usually get a site that is within 100 feet or so of the facilities. (Kids) We have never had to pay for the supplied facility. Didn't know some campgrounds charge for that. Of course we use state and national parks only. Good info tho....

Personally, I would keep the shower. You never know when you will need one and with small grand children that usually accompany us, it makes it a lot easier to bathe them.

First you might want to figure out what you are going to store there. If I was thinking of this, I would build a shelf unit out of 3/4 inch PVC pipe, and use 1/4 to 3/8 plywood for shelves. I wouldn't glue all of it together, so I could take it apart and remove in necessary. That is if it's shelves you want.

My wife uses it but I like more room and a little more hot water.

The big bathroom and shower was the reason i bought the model we have it alone was the deciding factor between two different campers. We use the shower all the time its nice to have a clean place to use when out camping

Well, Think I will build a cabinet that will come out easily, since I do own a wood shop that should be fairly easy. Will take pics when done. Thanks for the inputs

well, we do the opposite and try to get a site farthest away from the bathrooms/showers. this is because of foot traffic, noise and they usually have bright lights inside and out.
Calif. state parks charge between $1.25-$2.00 for a shower.
we've been to YNP, Glacier NP, GTNP and Yosemite NP in the last 8 months and they all charge for showers.
i've never see a national park that didn't charge for showers but maybe there are.

The reason we get close to the facilities is due to the grandkids always needing to go. We have never been to a state or national park that has charged for the facilities, they are always free. This includes, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia and more.... Used to live in California.
