Tub question

This may seem an odd question but bear with me.

Has anyone heard of or seen a walk in tub in a fifth wheel or other RV? There is a new one called the "Cube" that claims to fit into the space a standard shower stall occupies.

My first thought was weight. I emailed a rep and she said with a average sized adult it would take 45 gallons to fill. So adult (let's say 200 pounds being generous) and round up the gallons to 50 at about 8 pounds per gallon equals 600 pounds plus 140 for the tub itself. Total 740 pounds.

Could a 5th wheel floor hold that without serious base/floor reinforcment?
