When I designed my 3.2 metres long van (1.9H, 1.9W) we did so incorporating a shower and port a potti. I'm not posting to brag about my design ability but this shower tray measurement is 960x565mm. That area allows for the potti, shower and the convenience of turfing wet clothes and shoes when needed....

Once more asking those in the know. The van we are getting will have a roll out awning and we are planning on just getting a privacy sun shade. My question is would we really need an Anti Flap Kit?

I am heading to the Brisbane Caravan Show on Wednesday and Thursday of this week to look at caravans in the 17' to 21' range.
