Campervans can often be tight for space so some do not include a toilet or a shower but there are a number that do. Because of the limited space, a wet room may be more practical as it should not take up as much floor space as a conventional shower and toilet.
Having a wet room provides you with more flexibility especially if you are parked up for the night in the middle of nowhere with no immediate access to a toilet or a shower. If you are staying the night on a campsite with good facilities then you may prefer to use the on-site facilities rather than your own thus saving you having to top up your water tank so frequently or empty the toilet waste as often.
If you have children then an onboard wet room may prove particularly invaluable as young children often need to use the toilet more frequently and it is easier to wash them in the shower than to stand him or her up in the kitchen sink to clean them down.
A wet room can also be used to clean a number of things such as wellington boots and you could even potentially wash out some clothes if really necessary. It provides the possibility of changing a baby.
With your own wet room in your campervan you aren’t going to have to worry about trying to avoid the rain outside to get to public facilities. You can stay clean and dry. It also means that you are not going to have to go to the public facilities on a campsite in the middle of the night with a torch to light up tour way thus hopefully making your trips to the toilet safer.
Should you ever come to sell your campervan, it is potentially a good selling point to have a wet room onboard. It may also increase the value of your campervan in comparison to one without a wet room.
Yes, you will need to fill up your water container more often but hopefully the benefits will far outweigh any shortcomings.
So, when shopping around to either buy or rent a campervan, do give consideration to choosing one that comes equipped with a wet room as the advantages probably exceed the disadvantages.
