One more. I thought it for when the back flow preventer failed, the water could run out of the bathroom.

I always thought doors were that way so the dogs nose would fit under there when they are checking why you are out of eyes view. (man they and kids are terrible at that).

Actualy, after pondering this I believe the door is too short on the top. In order that it wouldn't look weird, they raised the door up so the gap would be on the bottom for a more normal look.

Our bathroom does have a heat vent and the door gap is not quite as big. Our heat and AC are both ducted. I think the gap is good, expecially when the vent fan is running. Makes the air circulate better. Ditto on mobile homes, where all doors have this gap, not just the bathrooms. I'm sure it is for HVAC circulation.

The gap on our new 2014 passport is at the top... For proper air exchange according to our salesman. Also, no lock on the door is because there's no emergency exit. That makes sense with this trailer, but not our previous 2010 Outback which had an outside door in it (which did have a lock on it...luckily!)

Monica, I think you'll find that the "real reason" why there's no lock on the bathroom door is because "non-locking door hardware" costs $2.80 per set and "locking doorset" costs $2.90. The numbers here are "made up" but the concept is what drives almost everything you'll find as "why didn't they??" in your RV.

I know what I'm trying next camping trip.

I have no gaps in my door, the fan is only on when showering and there's never been a smell in there no matter who's in there but then again my toilet is different then most.
