How Deep Is the Better Bath RV Bathtub # LC209372?

Updated 09/24/2019 | Published 09/22/2019

Question:

How high from floor to top of tub ? I have back problems and the tub that now exist is so high I cannot reach the floor with my foot. And is a strain getting into the tub as well. I’m in need of a tub that will catch the water, and much less trouble entering and exiting. And nothing to grab hold of the walls are so thin we can’t install grab on’s. Not even the suction kind. Thank you, for all help !!!

The Better Bath RV Bathtub # LC209372 is 10-1/2" deep on the inside and 11-1/8" deep from the top of the ledge to the bottom of the tub. While this isn't too deep and should provide a nice, shallow tub that's easy to get in and out of, the apron and floor that the tub is mounted to might be causing some of the issues you're currently having. You'll want to measure the apron of your current tub/shower to see how tall it is; sometimes the aprons are higher off the ground than they need to be since there may be supports under the tub.

If you can measure how tall the apron walls are around your current bathtub, as well as the depth of your current tub on the inside, I can let you know whether or not the Better Bath RV Bathtub will change the clearance to the floor at all.
