One of our “must haves” when we looked for a camper, was a big bathroom. I told my husband, “I don’t want to sit on the toilet and brush my teeth.” That’s just me! Also, we are not small people – he’s 6’1 and I’m what I like to call ‘fluffy’ which means I’m not thin.
A shower large enough for us to comfortably turn around in (without body parts touching the side of the shower), and room for him to be able to stand without crouching was high on the priority list. We really lucked out that our big bathroom comfortably allows us both to be in there if one needs to shower and the other to brush teeth, etc.
However, even though we are fortunate enough to have this large bathroom, we still use bathhouses at campgrounds if they are nice. Unlimited hot water and that glorious water pressure is under rated. This was a new experience for us when we purchased our travel trailer, in fact I was a little appalled at the thought of a public bathhouse. That was until I went in a few and saw how nice they can be. Yes, we’ve been in some not so nice under duress such as when our hot water heater went out, but we try to avoid the sub-standard bath house.
Sorry, I digress. . . These are my bathhouse shoes (aka: shower shoes) !!! A very important item to me.
1. I don’t want to contract athlete’s foot or any other fungus in public showers. Yep, I’m a hygiene freak.
2. These dry super fast due to the material they are made of and the little air holes in the design. This is a plus for me because our first camping trip I rubbed blisters between my toes by wearing wet flip flops from the bathhouse to the camper. Lesson learned!!
These are inexpensive, around $7-8, from Amazon.
Also, I quickly learned we needed a small bath bag to carry shampoo, conditioner, brushes, travel size hair dryer, and deodorant to the bathhouse. I tried a bag of a material that got damp, didn’t dry out well, and was too big. Back to Amazon I went to research what was available and found this.
My husband’s is black and gray and not too girly for him to carry to the men’s room. It dries super fast and is perfect for the task! Around $9-10 on Amazon. We loved it so much I bought one to use here at the Lake on our pier. Fortunately we are blessed with a lake clean enough to take lake baths (shampoo, face wash, etc.).
No, I don’t get any kickbacks by mentioning Amazon. We live in a small town an hour from large shopping areas so I depend on Amazon for a lot.
Hope this helps anyone looking for shower shoes or a bag for the bath house!
