Does anyone have a bright idea for drying the shower tray in a small bathroom.  I have just downsized and find it a slight problem  I will get a decent sqweegee, any brand recommendations?  I will park a little more nose down.  Thanks in advance.

Thank you Jill, they do indeed dry well I used a heavy cotton bathmat yesterday but drying conditions great atm, I just thought at other times it would be bad news.  Thanks.

I wipe the whole shower down with an old bath sponge and then go over it with an old, dry face cloth, works a treat. The face cloth dries quickly with out It the fresh air or otherwise hung up in the van, simples!😊

We use an OXO good grips squeegee at home, available from Lakeland for example.

Not wanting a small "wet room style" shower is the main reason we have hung on to our twin axle, so we do not bother much with drying the shower.  

We do however make sure we park slightly nose down and slightly tipped to our door side, to direct the water towards the drain.

We are also fortunate enough to have an Omnivent in the shower room, moved from its original position when the air con was fitted, and opening the window a little and running this for 15 -20 minutes removes any steam or condensation, and by morning any remaining water droplets have disappeared.

Not sure why you're bothered about drying the shower, Pippah.  We just don't bother! Like KJ, I have 'tweaked' the E&P so that when 'level' it's actually very slightly nose down and nearside high and the water runs out quickly. Just open the roof vent and window and the bathroom is dry in no time. 

When back home, the shower gets a deep clean - diluted vinegar to get rid of any limescale and a good polish and we're all set to go for next time.
