My wet bay has about enough room for a shoe box. There is not even enough room between the door and the tanks to fit the filters let alone the softener. The gray and black tank deep ends take up the top half of the bay and come within about 6" of the door. I maybe could fit the filters under the gray tank if I lay then flat and remove the outside shower, but then I could only have a two-filter set. That would also make changing the filter elements very difficult. I think Thor sacrificed wet bay space to make the "trunk' larger.
I am installing the filters and the softener inside the large trunk space under the bedroom slide on the left rear of the coach. Which is next to the wet bay. I am also installing a second city connection in the bay on the bulkhead between the bays. Since all the water connections run through the wet bay all I will need is about 12" of PEX a "T" and elbow connectors to hook it in. The city hose will be run into the bay through a 4" marine inspection port. installing the filters will not even take up usable space since they can be hung near the top of the bay.
