Topic: Shower Wall in R-Pod Posted: 17 Dec 2011 at 8:22pm |
Hello.. I am looking seriously at the R-POD.. and also the Heartland MPG. Can you tell me how the walls in the shower hold up. It seems that they would get pretty wet.. since there is only a floor pan and no plastic or vinyl liner in the shower. Are the walls in the showers like the walls in the rest of the camper?
the MPG shower seems to have a liner about half way up the wall.. do you think its important? Has anyone modified the R-Pod shower to cover and protect the walls? thanks for the info.

When we bought ours last october, we were told the walls were water resistant. they advised us to wipe them down after use and they would not have a problem. (they were also in the process of selling us) we have only used ours twice, since we bought late, maybe someone else with more experience will chime in. P.S. we love our pod, I have looked at the mpg on line, it looks nice also. Not sure about price. I payed $11300 for a new 2011 RP-172 and so far am happy with it, it pulls sweet.

No problem with my shower walls. I wipe them down so that there isn't any water spots left behind.

Keep in mind that the shower curtain comes around on two sides of the wall. The shower curtain does keep the pocket organizer by the door dry. As far as the other walls go, yes, they are water resistant and we wipe down the walls and floor whenever we shower. We also have the exhaust fan running as well and helps to keep things dry in there.

What they said. We only have one season on ours, and we wipe down the stall when done. So far so good.

thanks for the responses so far. I like the "no sink" in the wet bath (mpg has a sink).. makes for more room. Not crazy about wiping down the walls after every shower.

Our 2011 177 has a sink in the shower, almost never used.

The walls are definitely water-resistant, they appear to be plasticized. The door is not, but the shower curtain covers it. I've added commercial-grade velcro in a few spots to hold the curtain in place during the shower, especially with the fan running it will suck inward. I don't wipe the walls down and haven't had a problem.

We've never wiped our walls down and have had no issues. We do turn the exhaust fan on after every shower though and it will quickly dry out the entire wetbath after just a little time.

Used ours about 40 times this season, no problems, just turn the fantastic fan on after your shower. Having it on during your shower means you'll be fighting with the shower curtain.
