RV Bathtub
An RV is a trailer that has all the amenities of a living space. A basic RV has a kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping facilities. As the class of the RV increases, the luxury quotient also goes up. There are many RVs that are even double decked. Nowadays, those RVs that have been maintained well with every kind of luxury item fitted in them have the highest resale value. And we have even seen hot tubs mounted in an RV. A good class RV definitely should have a bathtub in it.
WHY SHOULD YOU FIT A BATHTUB IN YOUR RV?
Not just for luxury, a bathtub is also a necessity nowadays. While you are on a vacation, or you are camping, you need to keep yourself clean, and sanitation is very significant.

But you would ask that this issue can be resolved by fitting a shower, why should you go for only a bathtub? If you have ever lived full time in an RV, you would already know this. When you turn on a shower, the water goes everywhere except the drain. It gets messy and wet all around every time you take a shower.
