USE OF TILE IN A TRAVEL TRAILER?
(Preview)
This might be a silly question.... but what are the possibilities of having a tiled shower enclosure in a trailer? I have seen tile on some motorhome floors, but gravity is in their favor. Wouldn’t the vibration and bumps of road travel make the use of vertical tiles unrealistic? PamINaJAM

If I have time, I just let them thaw; but sometimes that can't happen. I found hot air guns with variable temp controls from 140 up to 1100....
