I know that like oursleves, a couple of other people have one of these.  However, for love nor money at the moment, I can't remember who they are.

I'm just wondering if any of the owners of the above van, have actually used the shower.  We've only managed it once..........once, yes, because our shower curtain is too short and hence water came all out from under the door.  Needless to say OH not impressed at all.  In our old Ranger (550/6) when the shower was in the far corner it wasn't a problem. 

We've spoken to Bailey, not very helpful, saying all shower curtains are a standard length, so it's not a problem according to them.

Anybody else have a similar problem????? Thanks in advance

Ali

I am not going to be mutch help because my gt60 is a 510/4.

We did look at 540s and others with central showers but decided against because they looked very limited in their function as showers, whereas the end washroom was very spacious and the shower self contained with almost enough room for 2!

Trust me, if we didn't have the kids i'd be tempted with your van, our friends had one, and I thought it was great.  I'll have to see what everybody else says, hoping that we haven't got a friday afternoon van !!

I suppose you will have to hope they will supply a longer shower curtain, but if as they say, there is only one length, and they get no other complaints, it doesn't look promising.
Why not buy a longer curtain and see if it makes a difference? If it does, and Bailey agree to supply one, then you will have a spare!

I notice the shower curtain was short on the Gt 60 and all the 6 birth ranger's when we looked at them.

They are about 1"- 2" short.

we've got a 540 gt60. when we looked at the demo unit we noticed it was short, but when we picked ours up about a month ago it is now longer than door. So far we have not used the shower, I'd probably only use it in an emergency as i can imagine the shower curtain sticking to me then i'd probably end up falling out of the door or something!!

Sorry to be a pain, but do you know exactly how long your shower curtain is, looks like it has been changed for the better.  I honestly don't know what to do.  The shower curtain supplied is 120cm, which is the same length as shower curtains in the argos catalogue etc, but I don't know where to get a longer curtain from or indeed how to attach it to the curtain rail.

We didn't like the clingy curtain so we replaced it with a stiiffer PVC type from B&Q for about £15 - had to cut some off the length!
