Back when we purchased our old 2008 Outback 21RS, there were reports on the Outbackers.com forum of rather small people punching holes in their shower bottoms. Back then it was pretty common to look through the access panel on the front of the tub to find there would be very little support.

There would only be a couple short pieces of 2x4 under the shower. Yet another example of Keystone being extremely cheap. How much can some scrap 2x4 cost on a per trailer basis? They would be on edge wedged between the shower bottom and flooring. The preemptive fix was to just add a few more pieces of 2x4 so that the entire shower bottom was supported.

I'm well over 300 lbs and have never had a problem with the shower in our 2013 Outback 250RS. When we owned the 21RS I weighed less and never had any problems with that one as well.
