SLow.


then why bother responding?


I would suggest picking out what port-o-potty you want to use, and get the dimensions of it, but dont forget room for yourself first (I checked out one camper that had what seemed to be an adequite sized space for the port-o-potty, but it was too narrow to fit my shoulders in comfortably...the 3 other people with me didnt have a problem)

for the shower, I would say a decent way to measure would be to put both arms straight forward, then bend your elbows in 90 degrees (make a box with your arms) and have someone measure that for you, then add a couple inches for comfort

Bill is right it is the occupant more so than the equipment.

As a big boy I have found more than a few restrooms that I just didn't fit in.

Some one else made a suggestion similar to Bill's. Lay your hands palm down high on your chest and just touch finger tips to finger tips. Them measure elbow to elbow this is the absolute minimum measurment.

24"x32" is one of the standard sizes for a smaller shower toilet combo and you can find plenty of 24"x24" shower pans online.

24 x 32 Shower:

At 5'10, 225lb 24x32 is not bad. Not super roomy but it gets the job done. Honestly the biggest pain is the shower curtain, every time you bump into it they want to stick to you. Flat pans this size are way more roomy than the step tub but I couldn't swing a flat pan in this build.

I've seen pans this size with a toilet included. I climbed in and tried to go through the motions. Way too tight for me with that in there too.
