Glad to see someone thinks about having a real shower in their Van, most people do not build one in and it is something a never understand because it is so important when you live in a Van full time. I live in a VW California Beach full time and it is "the thing" I miss most! Excellent job guys...

@@unholyascension3421 it also depends on what they plan to do. Most people that are staying in one place or mostly urban areas use gyms for activity and showers(planet fitness is everywhere), people that are mostly basicly camping in parks and campgrounds already have access and those that will only need them when in middle of nowhere have external or solar showers. Only people that are actually traveling everywhere need them. Otherwise as nice as they are, they take valuable room and do require more upkeep and maintenance to avoid costly problems.

Great job guys. I'm considering building my own camper van and I was wondering how to do the shower. You have by far the best and easiest way I've seen so far. And pretty economical as well. Hope you are still enjoying your van and the work you put into it. Thanks again for the great video.

“That’s a bit on the piss” “she’ll be right she’ll be right” killed me 😂😂😂 so good to see aussies making VanLife videos gives me hope to build mine 🇦🇺

Here's idea. When building a shower. Build as Sit down shower. Extra space saved on top could be used to put Water tank.

@NeillHolloman

5 жыл бұрын

Gonna add to my original comment. Good reason to use sitdown shower and put water tank on top is because you can add a hole in roof to fill water tank when it rains. Then always use environmentally safe soaps in shower then you can freely dump shower anywhere without harming environment.

I really liked your approach to creating the templet of the curved side wall with the disk and pencil. I've watched numerous videos of van builds and yours appears to be the best solution to trace the irregular Shapes. I'll make note and credit you with the idea once I get there. I'm pleased to see that you are still getting views 2 years later. I enjoyed your production.

Great video, thanks! I love how you explain the details and the process - you're the first video I've seen that does that, most people show high speed video of the build and then just explain a few things while standing in front of the finished product, ugh. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Congrats, on your successful build, it looks great.

Try using a magnet to remove lost screws in the metal framing. It will grab it and you can slide it to a hole you can fish it out of

I know a stand in shower and toilet takes room and some people opt for not having them but I think it’s good having a no fuss walk in shower/toilet. Toilet looks like it’s Gona have to be sideways sit for carrying out duties but rather that than search for a toilet or having a nature call. Good job 👍

Great work. Shame we can't get these rollaway doors here in the UK.

Just a thought that might work. Shower space spends most of the time empty. How about having a wardrobe unit in there - that slides sideways when you want to use the shower. I'm thinking of the dinette beside the shower so the wardrobe can slide over the seat. Maybe have the portaloo slide under the seat. Interested in builders thoughts.

Great video, thanks guys! Found it really helpful.

"If the circle was perfect, I mean, it's not very square" lol

Hi, Guy's great job & excellent video. Just wondering what shower mixer you used as the link you provided just bumps me to the Bunnings home page. Searched the Bunnings range but couldn't find it.

Not sure I'm following all that, but I had a thought... I realize that the shape of the wagon is a consideration, but I think I might have just used a preformed/all in one, fiberglass shower stall. As far as cost goes, I think they're pretty reasonable. Maybe less work to install too. Just a thought. Congrats on all the DIY work going well.
