Been looking at toy haulers for some time now but keep running into the same issue. I aminterested in a 5th wheel and it seems all the showers are real small. Step into them and my head is in the little skylight almost touching. I really like the cyclones and fusions. What do you 6'4"+ people do?

I'm 6'7"....and I take showers with my head in the skylight! Not much else we can do.
Depending on how you camp, you can take your showers at the CG showers, they are usually a bit taller
I don't think you'll find a RV with a full height shower....at least not unless you just won the lottery
Actually, you get used to it, and it's not that bad. The one thing I think I'll be doing soon though, is to get one of those Shower rod extensions that allow you some more room in there.....

You'll need to try and find a 5er with the bathroom that isn't located in the upper deck, which is going to be rare. They can only make the rigs so tall. Off the top of my head I can not think of any with a bathroom in the main deck area.

Home Depot and Lowes sells a 3 piece fiberglass tub/shower combo that will fit in the doors of the bath. Pull out the CHEAP wrap around and the shower basin, eliminate the basin build up that the MFG builds which is to large and route all plumbing to the side so the new tub basin will fit and then install the new 3 piece unit, Can use the same shower head and valving if you want. Can do it in a week end and the lady can shave her legs in the tub and the 6'6" dude can sing in the shower. On some models you may have to move the cabinet if there is one, other the unit will go right in. Less then $500 you can have a shower as big as home and in some cases nicer. I did my 2008 Wide Open and Wide open makes a model with a shower in the garage but you loose space in the living area and Raptor and Next Level is about the bigest showers out there.

I had the same problem but my raptor had the shower with the little step in tube. I required this type of shower for myself and a place to give the babies a bath. It is great!

The KZ Sportsman 2910 and 33P have baths that are "downstairs" before you step up to the bedroom. The ceiling in the bathrooms/showers are about 8 feet. With this design you end up without much outside storage. Personally, I can put up with a little less head room as a trade off for decent storage.

It isn't your home shower but, I don't need a big shower (even though I'm 6'2+ and 225#. I'm in there for all of 5-minutes a day. If it is a little cramped for that short time - I think I can struggle through it.
