Most excellent! But, I've always found it better to check rather than assume

They used to always supply wall mount taps in this case. Has this changed?

No, it has not changed. I confirmed that with ETI this morning. 😃

We have worked with Melissa on a few things and agree that she is extremely good and helpful! Considering the bath sink delete as well. Did you get any info on how the shower is installed without the sink? Do they use a different hot/cold knob control fixture than what they have on the sink?
Thanks for any info you have.

Most have said that they will supply a wall mount shower valve if you delete the sink, but that is model dependent. That works for the 17/19/5.0/23 but not for the 21 as the water supply lines run vertically through a small stub wall in the bathroom. They will give you a regular faucet but you would need to have something to mount it to. I tried to find a decent looking shower valve with water connections coming out the bottom but wasn't able to find anything with the 4 inch spacing, hence my "little counter".

When we bought our 2015 19' we elected to NOT put in the bathroom sink and never missed it. When we traded up to a 21, we asked that there be no bathroom sink and the sales assistant insisted that we could not do that. After picking it up we could see that it would have been no problem to omit the sink. Be certain that the person helping you with your build knows what they are talking about. Talk to the service tech, not the sales staff if there are problems.
I really do not want the sink they put in there, it is pretty useless, and there is a better sink 2 feet away.

Before they would approve it, she had to go to the production manager. They ran the supply lines and terminated them about 8 inches above the stub wall. Funny thing is that as they were building the trailer and sent daily pictures, I received a picture showing a portion of the bathroom and they had installed the sink and shower.  After a quick email to them, they removed it and redid the gelcoat in the bathroom with no issues or complaints. It can be removed if you choose to do so. You just need to make a counter or cover for the pipes....

We used to have a small camper with no sink in the bathroom. We only wanted three things in a new camper, one of which was a sink in the bathroom. We really got tired of washing our hands in the kitchen sink after using the bathroom.
No sink in the bathroom works for a lot of people, and we thought it would work for us in the first camper. Good luck, just a thought.

They deleted the sink in my 2017 17B. I don’t regret it.

It was Melissa that I spoke with regarding this, and she said that in my 5.0, with no sink they would mount the shower faucet handles on the wall, as tburt mentioned.

Melissa should be able to provide a pic of what they currently install, and I'd ask for that to be sure, but likely something similar to this (maybe with the shower hose connection on the bottom rather than top so the hose 'hangs' a bit more nicely without kinking, like a "J" from the bottom of the valve up to the shower handle):
https://www.amazon.com/Mobile-Shower...731225833&th=1
If you want a single handle you could ask if they would install this with you shipping it to them, the installation, fittings, and 'pipe centers' are likely the same as what they would install by default (but this one does not lend to inverting the hose connection like the version above with two separate valves):

This sink is also much smaller than the one in your Scamp.
The sink is over the wheel well deleting it doesn't add hardly any space.

Thanks for doing the legwork on this! Melisa is our salesperson and we're going to ask to delete the sink, too. My wife likes the easier cleaning and more space.

That's perfect! Did you ask them to relocate the TP box or did they do that on their own?

I did not ask them to relocate it. I think that might be the default location for the TP holder in the 5.0. Not sure sure about that though.
