FOLDABLE SHOWER 🚿 - CLEVER VAN SHOWER DESIGN!
Having a relatively tiny space in our truck we opted for not having a fixed bathroom.
We instead decided to build a bathroom with a foldable design, without compromising on the comfort of having a fixed shower pan and hard walls.

Very clever! Also, if you come in with muddy boots, simply blast them with the shower, and the muddy water drains away. The rest of the van stays clean.
This is one of the most original ways I've seen to include a private shower and toilet area in a small build. Great job!
It's great you showed the whole process of installing the shower. It's hard to find good shower tutorials out there and this is one of the best. Thank you and hope you're both enjoying Van Life!
Thank you for showing us your bathroom. The shower / toilet is a fantastic idea. It takes no extra space either. Brilliant. 😊
Smartest I've seen. Fixed space is wasted space. Well done!
Best on board shower I've seen so far.
Best solution I've seen so far.
This is by far the best shower idea I've ever seen in a campervan on youtube!!!!
You could attach it to wall and put hinges on the panels, and then fold out like an accordion.
Yes the location is what I thought of too. The base of the shower I haven’t thought out yet. Thanks for the inspiration.
Bella idea. Finalmente si vede qualcosa di originale nel web. Bravi!! Complimenti!!!

brilliant idea thx for posting I was wondering why more people do not do this I only saw one video before yours with a similar idea and sadly didn't save it so lost it in the YT maze.
Very good idea, this is the first ever seen before. Thank you for the sharing.
OMG! THIS IS BRILLIANT! I'm in the process of designing a van build for small van...this is a great idea...a lil nervous about cutting the floor of the van, I would need to look and see how it is structured...but you gave me a great idea. Good Job you guys!

I love their shower/toilet idea, too! Just be careful with making openings in the floor. It needs to be gas tight, otherwise toxic Carbon Monoxide is drawn in while driving. Other air pollutants, too, from car exhaust.

Another great bathroom build is in this vid: Family of 4 VAN TOUR ! UNBELIEVABLE Open Layout - Shower, Toilet, Screen Doors! | Van Life Personally, I would try to also use the shower space for hanging clothes when not in use. That is, if I could rig up a way to effortlessly pivot the hanging rod to outside the shower when needed. Better: use the space for pots, pans, and other items not harmed by humidity.
You are so brilliant -- toilet and shower in the same entry spot. I wish I can copy one day. Enjoy your van life.
Very clever now u have a shower & toilet space, they shower in the entrance that works. Living in the van every space they can use it, this van kind of small space so this is fine with it.
Very clever and beautifully made
Excellent idea for the shower 🚿
Finally, I've seen a lot of shower ideas in vanliving and this is the perfect solution I've found so far!
Brilliant! WOW! I am binge watching these build vids for weeks now,, the shower / bath is the most challenging when it comes to what I have in mind for my own build that'll be started here very soon and this gives me great relief to see what I was thinking can actually work! Thanks so much for sharing,, I was struggling with wanting the shower to be indoor/outdoor and near the entrance, without having to build a seperate room/space! I LOVE this..

Fantastic and I'm nicking that idea 😂❤

Best shower conversion ever
What a great idea 😊
Mi sono appena iscritto e ho visto tutti i video della camperizzazione. Lavori originali e prettamente per esigenze e idelogie personali, ognuno mette in evidenza ciò che predilige, d'altronde l'hai detto che serviva uno stivaggio maggiore per lo sport che praticate. Da amante delle mountain bike professionali vi comprendo. Mi sono venuti dei dubbi nel caso avessi avuto io quel mezzo, ma poi pensandoci avete ottimizzato gli spazi in modo pratico, funzionale ed essenziale. Complimenti.

Grazie! Si indubbiamente non è una camperizzazione adatta a tutti, del resto per questo ci tenevamo a farla noi. Ogni persona ha esigenze specifiche, e nel nostro caso abbiamo prediletto lo spazio dedicato alle attrezzature sportive che quello dedicato a vestiti e oggetti vari, ciò nonostante lo spazio per le attrezzature è comunque poco 😬(essendo due persone con bici, tavole da surf, snowboard, windsurf, skate e relativo abbigliamento) e quello per i vestiti è più che sufficiente, essendo noi abbastanza minimalisti. In più abbiamo prediletto un design aperto, per non sentirci soffocati nel camper, questo ovviamente significava rinunciare ad alcuni mobili all'interno o ad una cabina bagno. Devo dire che col senno di poi una cellula 60/70cm più lunga sarebbe stata perfetta! Ci avrebbe permesso di avere quel pizzico di comfort in più! Grazie comunque del commento, e di seguire le nostre avventure! Mi fa molto piacere 😊
Great idea!!
Love the drainage for shower base.. the hot water tank as well
I like your idea would love to see more idea's out side the box....because face it these tiny homes are small and I hardly see too many idea's out side the box everyone always for the most part does the exact same because we were considering the layout for the normal setting.what really needs to happen is like you spend how long in a shower really.,that's what on average 20 to 3o minutes exactly showering and for the rest of the 24 hour's it stands unused very needed but still for the most part unused.,,,,,,as well as your bed for the most part at least their are some very nice designs to get the beds out of the way and back fairly quickly if you have the space but the shower would live to see more designs like this one. Thank you for sharing
Veramente complimenti!!!! Siete fantastici 😀😀😀😀
That's cool but have you ever had someone walk by they would get a good view with window in it lol.
loved that. I have had a similar idea for a few months. Collapsible mold resistant partition walls.
THIS IS AMAZING
This is so smart thank you so much 🙌🏽
Best yet!
बहुत अच्छी व्यव्स्था, जगह का उचित उपयोग 👏
Excellent, I designed mine like this but haven't built it yet, and I have never seen any other like it, so it's a relief to see how great the shower pan looks. Im using a normal pan so not sure if the height will be a pain to line up with the floor. This is a great alternative. Thanks for making this video.

That is awesome😮
Great Idea! 👍👍
Genius! Thanks for sharing.
Very cool!
Thank you! This has helped with my research haha.. unfortunately now I have five different designs to attempt to sift through. The most weight efficient build, this is a close #2 on my list so far for light weight
This just gave me an amazing idea for when i do my own build thank you so much! New sub!

This is a really cool idea to squeeze more space out of no space, I think I'd feel a bit weird showering and using the loo in what is technically also my kitchen though... I've had an idea knocking about in my head for having the rear end bed board fold up into a full size partition wall, so you can hide a full size bathroom in a tiny van. All your amenities like hand sink, vanity cabinet, shower bracket etc would be mounted under the bed board and fold up. I don't think it would be technically that difficult, it's whether or not it would work well in practice I'm not sure about. The only drawback I can see is that it would be a pain in the ass if you woke up in the middle of the night and needed to pee... you'd have to offload your significant other onto the floor to gain access :D
Very good 👍
very cool and clever solution! What material did you for the walls? Do you have a seal at the bottom or is the wall just standing on shower pan? thank you

Smart idea with the shower, toilet
Clever!
brilliant idea!
This is the same as the shower in my Talbot express camelot
Ciao raga! This idea for the shower is amazing. What is the material you have used to build the walls for the portable shower? The whyte part? Thanks.
Bravo!
Great!
Great idea, I have a question, your water heater, I see that you have it inside, how do you ventilate it, because those are for use outside, but is interesting to see how you have it set up
Genious 🎉

My design only allows a 1.5” deep pan and I am worried if the water will drain if the van is not perfectly level. Due to the van chassis I can only have one drain hole on the corner.
NICE IDEA...
practical
Ciao! Complimenti per l'idea! Come vi state trovando con questa doccia? Pensavamo di fare una cosa simile. Grazie
This is a great idea! Have you had any issues with water leaking between the walls or between the bottom of the walls and the floor into the rest of the van?

So far no issues, but I also didn't use the shower so much since I always had the possibility to use the external one. The only downside I could find so far is dust and sand collecting underneath... it needs to be cleaned before use otherwise it could clog.

Fit a rain shower head into the roof, flush with the ceiling, so that the water falls from above

That was the first version of it!! If you watch older videos you'll see a water pipe coming out from the ceiling. The plan was to install a square rain shower head encased into the insulation. Ultimately we switched to this standard one for practicality... it gives us the possibility to rinse our feet, or use it in several different ways. I don't exclude the implementation of the rain shower in the future tho!!
