Bathroom Step to cover the floor

I have seen some owners on here build a wooden "step" (for lack of a better word) for their bathroom floor.  It helps elevate since the toilet is high, but also, it keeps feet off the floor and allows water to flow through if you shower or have kids that lack control when using the bathroom.  

 

My question is does anyone know of an off the shelf product i can buy?  I'm handy, but not interested in making one of those at this time, i'm just trying to tie up the loose ends in the Scamp so we can go camping ASAP.  Any help or advice is appreciated.

Teak 'mat' for Shower floor

I bought this teak shower "mat" from Amazaon.  It's a little too big but was easy to cut down to perfect size.

I also bought a set of screw on non slip foot pads to keep the teak up off the floor.  Made for a nice dry floor, pretty too.  They're simple to install although the teak is made to take wetness so the feet are not required since the custom sizing means it can't slip anyways.

I thought I had a photo but can't find it.  I could take another if that would help.

Teak floor in bathroom

I too was frustrated with the Scamp Bathroom floor being so low compared to the potty.   I had to tippy toe to make sure I had good aim.   Also like others you have to stand in water as the pump is trying to pump the water fast enough.  Then once your done you cant really go back in the bathroom until you have wiped dry the bathroom floor.   I also ordered the teak panel and cut it to size on my table saw.  https://amzn.to/3gHjqbQ (SOI sponsored link).  I then attached the little rubber bumper pads to the bottome to keep the wood up from the bottom of the fiberglass shower pan.    Im trying it out for the first time this week.  I will let you know how it worked.  My main concern is the bumper pads will fall of in the soaking water. I may have to use a waterproof  glue on them.

Rubber feet

McMaster-carr has compressible stem push in bumpers that press into a drilled hole  that might stay in better than glued on. Made of urethane or SPR You might find something to fit. My only concern is some black rubber will transfer brown or black to the fiberglass that stains permanently.

another option

I just ordered this one.  My shower floor is 20X18, & this is 20X14, so I will have 2 inches on each side, but I don't have to cut anything to make it fit & quite a bit less expensive.  I'll let you know if I like it when it arrives.   https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07LD3WC87?psc=1&smid=A2O4RY8V6CGTB7&ref_=chk_...

Cover floor

Picking up on this past discussion, I like that teak mat for the shower floor. I don't think it would matter that it's a little smaller than the well floor. 

My main issue has been the depth of the well when using the toilet. I made a simple cover for the well. The slats are fir with a cedar stain with a couple of 1x3 crosspieces under them. It'll just lift out when I use the shower. I left spaces between the slats to ventilate the well and let it dry after a shower. It really wasn't very difficult to make. I plan to add something like rubber stair tread material under the ends so that the wood doesn't sit directly on the fiberglass.
