Before delving into specific sizes, it's crucial to measure your campervan's shower area accurately. Measure the length and width of the space, ensuring you account for any plumbing fixtures or obstructions. Having these measurements at hand will help you narrow down your options and avoid disappointment.

Compact Shower Trays (40" x 24" and Smaller)

Compact shower trays are ideal for small campervans or those with limited bathroom space. These trays, usually measuring 40 inches in length or less, provide a functional showering area without consuming too much space.

Some popular compact sizes include 36" x 24", 32" x 24", and even 30" x 24". While these trays may not offer the same legroom as larger models, they are perfect for shorter users or those looking to maximize their campervan's living space. Additionally, their smaller footprint makes them easier to install and maneuver within tight spaces.

Mid-Size Shower Trays (48" x 24" to 54" x 24")

Mid-size shower trays strike a balance between space and functionality, offering more legroom than compact trays while still fitting into many campervans. These trays typically measure between 48 to 54 inches in length and 24 inches in width.

Popular mid-size options include 52" x 24" and 54" x 24". These trays provide a more comfortable showering experience, especially for taller users. However, they may require more space in your campervan, so ensure you measure your shower area carefully before committing to a mid-size tray.

Specialty Shower Trays for Campervans

In addition to standard sizes, some campervan shower trays cater to specific needs or vehicle layouts. These specialty trays can help you make the most of your campervan's unique features and maximize your showering experience.

Some specialty shower trays to consider include:
