9 Toddler Bathroom Essentials for your RV
If you live in an RV with your toddlers, chances are you share one bathroom, or at the very least, one shower. Having a space that works for everyone can be a challenge. We are here to share some of the items we’ve decided we must have in our RV bathroom for our toddlers!
Handheld High Pressure Shower Head
Having a handheld shower head in a camper is absolutely necessary so you can rinse out your toddler hair and wash their bums with ease! Also, some campgrounds have low water pressure and it helps to have a shower head which adds water pressure to rinse off ALLLL the dirt your toddlers found from the day.
Potty Insert
When you live in an RV you must be a minimalist. This means no separate potty for potty training, so we went with an insert.
Fold Away Stepstool
We use our folding stepstool at the sink for washing hands and brushing teeth and at the potty because camper toilets are tall. For the adults, it comes in handy as a squatty potty too!
Diaper/Essential Caddy
Our diaper caddy contains more than just diapers and associated supplies, this also holds our hair brush, detangling spray, antibiotic ointments (they fall everyday camping, I swear!) and other items we want immediately after bath. This bin actually stays in the master bedroom, not the bathroom as this gives us the ability to have one kid in the shower while the other is getting dried, brushed, and dressed for bed in another space.
Suction Toys
Some campers have a bathtub, but ours does not - so we transitioned our kids to the shower once we began our adventure (kids were 1 and 3). Now our kids actually don't know what to do in a bath – baby boy just stands, haha! Our little girl always struggled with yeast infections and this transition completely eliminated that for us. Having a tub was one of my initial requirements in our camper purchase and when we decided to go with a Montana High Country 351BH, I thought we'd need to purchase a tub, but my suggestion is that unless your babe can't sit without assistance, you don't need a tub in your camper.
All that is to say - toddlers love bath toys! Great toys for the shower are suction toys (suggestions here and here) because they can play with them while standing, Bonus, they stay put on travel days!
Shampoo & Soap Organizers
Our shower has shelves, but not those that contain supplies for travel days. A soap dish and shampoo bin ensure everything is always where you need it and also keeps it out of the toddler reach.
Extra Towel Hooks
There is never enough hooks in campers. We use a combination of command strips hooks and a rack that hangs over the door. Having more than you need is always a good idea – sometimes we'll need to hang beach towels or bathing suits on a rainy afternoon when they can’t dry outide.
Child Locks
You need all the space you can get which means making those lower cabinets inaccessible is super important.
Scale
This was one we didn't think we needed and decided to leave at home, but on the road we realized that at times we needed to know the weight of our toddlers (e.g. dosing the right amount of Tylenol, updating our baby books, or if we contacted our Blueberry Pediatrics telemedicine to call in a prescription). Most scales are glass so be sure to select something that is not. No one wants to arrive at their campsite and find a broken glass scale under their sink!
