Sikaflex shower tiles

[Scott & Heather]

We have had to fiberglass acrylic showers in the past, and we just did not really like the quality or the field. I definitely agree with another poster hear that the quality of your bathroom does affect how to coach feels. I like to enjoy my shower experience and having a nice tile shower I think would be nice

Tile can be great and with many choices really nice to look at but if not done right in a bus that moves and flexes you can have leaks causing mold and decay. We went with a heavy acrylic/fiberglass 36"X36" unit with a very nice door has built is shelves I put a marine water proof light in it and have had no issues in five years. Wife wanted tile so we put it on bathroom floor and as a back splash around vanity sink and in kitchen counter back splash.

I have toyed with the idea of a more house-like bathroom myself, but after seeing the effects of bus flexing over the years, I think having bathroom walls anchored to the sides and floor create more opportunity for cracking. If the bath were built as a free standing structure adjacent to the wall but not anchored to it, but only to the floor, I think it might stand a better long-term chance. What is everybody else's opinion?

Our MC5C has had a tile shower and floors since 1989 when it was converted. Not a single crack anywhere. Buses don't flex that much.

I think the flexing discussed is more along the entire length and width of the coach and very minute. Not much flex in the area of a 1 square foot tile or even a small shower floor

Counter-tops floor with saltio tile pavers and shower also on floor and 3 walls

Mud pan over 25mil PVC sheet with tile overlay. Bus doesn't even feel the weight. Dave5Cs

Kitchen counter-tops and walls are porcelain tile over red gard and backer board and 3/4" plywood marine type. HTH

I have seen several buses that have Corian showers stalls with molded pans and tops to match the ceiling line, they really look good but I bet it is big $$$$$

Also Cultured marble panels. They can make them to fit.

Once up on a time there was shower stall manufacture in Ca that did custom stalls that advertised in the Bus Conversion Magazine. They were reasonable in price and were thick well built not like junk like H/D and Lowes sell.

I remember paying 600 bucks back in the late 90's for the shower in the Eagle with the top to match the roof line same size as the stall, that out fit could still be around

Cliff, We have done several corian shower stalls in homes, they are nice and easy to clean, you can even route patterns in it to make it look like tile but they $$$$ the last one we did was $9g lol

9 grand for a shower? People do realize a shower is a waterproof place to stand and wash grime off your body.....not feeling the whole $9 grand thing. Yikes. I do like to keep weight issues in mind   Because it can add up fast. Our MCI-9 completed weighs in at 33,320 lbs with a full 100 gallon freshwater tank and 90 gallons of fuel. 3/4" wood floor and 3/4" knotty pine walls. Full wood cabinets in kitchen and a lot of stuff. That's actually pretty light these days with some bus conversions tipping the scales in the 50,000 lb range. Here's my latest weigh in about a week ago:

Expensive showers and related items can explain how someone (with deep pockets) can spend $500,000 on their conversion and have it currently for sale for $89,000. To each their own, but living within one's means is still a priority, and I do thank the people who spent money on my coach before I bought it.

So do I!
