Dear Mr. Burnett: This is in further reply to Mr. David Humphrey's letter of April 25 1972, concerning the application of Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 302 to motor homes. Certain items, namely molded plastic toilets, shower stalls, and bath tubs were inadvertently omitted from our reply of May 16, 1972.; With respect to toilets, the NHTSA considers toilets (and toilet seats to fall within the meaning of seat backs and seat cushions in paragraph S4.1, of Standard No. 302 and consequently to be subject to the standard. Shower stalls and bath tubs are not included in the list of components in S4.1, and are not subject to the standard.; Yours truly, Richard B. Dyson, Assistant Chief Counsel
