I've been around trailer homes and noticed they never have an overflow
in their bathtubs. I used to think that was just in the real old
trailers, but I'm seeing the same thing on the newer ones. Why do they
neglect to put overflows on those tubs? What's worse is that the
trailers tend to suffer a lot more damage when a tub overflows because
of the particle board floors used in them. If I was going to live in a
trailer, the first thing I'd do is install a standard bathtub. First
off because I'm not a person who likes to waste time watching a tub fill
up, and tend to walk away. Secondly bcause they are smaller tubs than
in houses. (while people are the same size regardless where they live).

Because most trailers are single floor?

I'm not sure trailer dwellers are regular sized. A fair share of my
neighbors are double wides. (especially the wimmens)
