The 10 Best Small Campers with a Dry Bath


Small Campers with a Dry Bath

While most small campers have a bathroom, it can be a real challenge to find one with a dry bath.

It’s worth pointing out, however, that while the Explore Clipper Ultra-Lite 17BHS offers a dry bath, it’s only a two-piece dry bath, with a separate shower and toilet.

There is one sacrifice that has to be made though when it comes to the functionality of this small camper’s dry bath, which is the lack of a dedicated bathroom sink.

Which means like the Riverside RV Retro 135 and the Coachmen Explore Clipper Ultra-Lite 17BHS, the kitchen sink in this trailer has to serve double duty as both the kitchen sink as well as the bathroom sink.

As it offers a rear corner three-piece dry bath that includes a decent size shower, as well as a separate toilet, and bathroom sink.  

Perhaps one of the best things about the Jayco Jay Feather Micro though is the size of its freshwater tank, which is a huge 55 gallons.

Making it one of the largest freshwater tanks on a smaller camper.

If you’re thinking the Flagstaff E-Pro E16BH looks a lot like the Geo-Pro G16BH from above there’s a good reason for this.

Because not only are these two trailers made by the same manufacturer, Forest River, but they’re also identical to each other with the exception of their branding, outside graphics, and interior color scheme.  

As the Flagstaff E-Pro and Rockwood Geo-Pro are sister RVs.  

So if you’re trying to choose between the Geo-Pro or the E-Pro, it really just comes down to which exterior and interior color scheme you like better.

10. Airstream Bambi 19CB

  • Price:  $60,000
  • Length:  19 Feet
  • Dry Weight:  3,650 Pounds 
  • Bathroom:  3-Piece Dry Bath
  • Sleeping Capacity:  4
  • Slid-Outs:  N/A

Perhaps one of the most iconic travel trailers of all time is the classic Airstream travel trailer.

However, Airstream has recently released a new line of small single axle campers called the Airstream Bambi.

Which is available in four different trim levels, including the 16RB, 19CB, 20FB, and 22FB. 

The smallest Airstream Bambi though with a dry bath is the 19CB.

Airstream Bambi 19CB

Which features a unique accordion-style door, that allows two people to get ready at the same time, by breaking up the space inside the bathroom.

One thing worth noting about the bathroom on the Airstream Bambi 19CB though is that it’s connected to pretty small holding tanks.

As the freshwater, gray water, and black water tanks on this camper are considerably smaller compared to other small campers.

Making the Bambi 19CB less than ideal for those that like to do a lot of boondocking and dry camping.
