Wet bath dimensions

in Heating/Plumbing & Winterizing
Hi, I am approaching retirement age and starting my research on travel trailers. The T@B S Max is my favorite by far. I am 5'11" tall and my husband is 6'1". I've read all the discussions I can find on taller people and how they make use (or not) of the wet bath. I'm wondering if anyone has actually measured the dimensions; length, width, etc.? I'm wondering how the size compares to wet baths found in larger RV's?  Whether it's the same or smaller. I'm assuming the ceiling is lower than 5'9" since that's the highest point inside the trailer.

    The height will slope as the wetbath is in the very front. Also, there is a small step up into the bathroom. If no one gets you the measurements before I will get them for you this weekend.

    You can get a better idea from this video where a FT  ever stands up into it.

    Width = 22.5 ... Length = 35 ... Left Wall Height = 65.5 ... Ceiling is curved down to the right wall behind the toilet.

    Thank you! That seems like a tight squeeze! We might be better off with the Q model and porta potty with outside shower, or make use of campground showers. Only way to know for sure will be to go to a dealer and try out a few different models.

    Raw dimensions give that impression - pretty much need to get in one. Way back when I was looking I found all small camper bathrooms were tight but didn't feel quite as bad once seated inside. But, I'm just 5'6" so not trying to squeeze that much in.

    I just measured my office chair and the seat is 19" wide but from the outside of one arm to the oitside of the other arm it's almost 28"!  If the width is only 22.5" then we will be like the guy whose arms touched the side walls. I have visions of airplane lavatories......

    Optional porthole window in the wetbath can make it feel much larger too.
    But early rather exposed!

    Don't use the shower, but no problem with the toilet facilities.

    The porthole window has the same privacy rotating shade as the entry door.  Not a privacy issue at all.

    If it's closed it won't let any light in, negating the effect of seeming bigger. There is really nothing that can be done to make it seem bigger, honestly. It is tiny. People can either live with it or they can't. I can, but even when I was doing work into he compartment behind the toilet, I had to take breaks because I got a little claustrophobic. I don't get claustrophobic when showering or using the facilities, but when having to stand up and move around much, I do. I am 5' 9".

    My T@Bitha has the portal window (with shade!!!) in the bath. I have yet to flash anyone. Sometimes my sister camps in the site beside me and I threaten to do that to her. LOL. Her Outback does not have the window and her bath seems very dark and confined to me compared with having the window. I like it the window in mine (although you might want to think twice about camping in the site to my left Muhahahahaha).

    The vision of you trying to get your butt that high up to moon your sister is well, not a pretty thought :-)

    If you followed the T@B Yoga Exercise regime, you'd not have that hard of a time visualizing this!

    No, the thing is, I don't want to visualize it. Just the thought is disturbing :-)

    We have an Outback with the bath and both hubby and I use the potty at night and he took a shower in there on our last outing last weekend.  He's about 6'2" and weighs over 280.  He said it was OK and better than the nasty camp shower.
