What is a End Washroom in a Caravan?
An end washroom is a bathroom configuration positioned at one end of the caravan (usually the rear) that spans the full width of the vehicle. This creates a more spacious bathroom compared to mid-caravan or corner washrooms, with room for a proper shower cubicle, more floor space for dressing, and typically better ventilation. End washrooms are particularly popular with couples who prioritise bathroom comfort, and they can offer accessibility benefits for those with mobility limitations. The trade-off is that end washrooms affect the placement of other elements – a rear end washroom typically means the bedroom is mid or front-caravan.
