Seems every time we take a shower water ends up on the floor. Near as I can make out, it simply flows off the top of the tub and over the side despite the curtain being arranged ever so carefully! In amazing amounts! Is anyone else having this problem? Has anyone found a solution that is working well?

Been there, fixed that :)  I added a splash guard, and the problem seems to be solved.

The splash guard came with two-sided tape, but I used clear silicone in addition to make sure they 'stuck'.  The problem was worse when the trailer was tipped slightly to the right and to the front, causing the runoff from the front wall to go towards the toilet side.

Happy camping!

I'm pretty sure I have seen them at Home Hardware.

I happened to find it at Lowes, but I'm pretty sure most hardware stores would have somthing similar.  The good part of this one was it was long enough to direct the water back into the tub (at least in theory).

Happy camping!

The dealer put one of those on my tub last year when I had it in for a water leak behind the tub – they misunderstood me by the way.  Anyway, I still have water running all over the trailer, especially if I have the driver's side a little high.  I try to remember to put a towel down, but every once in a while, I forget, like this past weekend.

Also, my dealer oriented the other way – so that the clip can catch the side edge of the curtain, on the tubside of the triangle.  Problem is that the curtain is too thin to easily hook in the clip.

Part of the problem, I think, is that the neck of the faucet is too short to clear the tub lip.  Also, water is going to run down the wall and may go outside the tub while showering, even with the diverter.

I did find a faucet that has a little longer neck – now the problem is how to get to the back of the shower on the 16BH.  The pantry cabinet is behind the shower, but it looks like the faucet is lower than the bottom shelf – maybe in the furnace compartment?

I avoid the water on the floor by leveling the trailer so water flows toward the (driver's side) wall and away from the floor. I place a 2×6 board under the curb side tire to tilt the trailer toward the driver's side. (I have a 14RB.) Happy Camping. Smile
