Awesome!🎉

If you attach some magnets to your shower curtain and the frame, sides & bottom. It won’t be able to attack you when you’re in the shower, and it will help with containing the water in the shower cubicle when you’re using it. That whole end with the shower, toilet & lounge has come together so well. It’s so usable! You must be so pleased. 😃

That's right, the curtain will stick to your body due to some physical law, as we experienced ourselves in our RV. Solution here: we sewed velcro along the hems of the curtain. Has been fine for twelve years now. Wishing you safe rides and lots of fun showers in your fancy Unimog 😊

Wet/ damp curtain when shower stall is folded away could cause a mold issue

Magnets sound better than velcro. I use velcro when I want something closed most of the time but openable. Magnets on the other hand are quick and better for seams that are open most of the time and only closed when you are actually in the shower. Presumably you won't be using the shower curtain too much when on the toilet!😂

@@MsUrsl Bernoulli's Principle. The flow of water moves the air inside the shower. Moving air has lower pressure than static air. The air outside the shower pushes the shower curtain inward.

I have seen thousands of RV's and shower has always been the main thing i look for if they've come with an idea of foldable shower or at least big enough shower that doesn't feel you're standing in coffin. Your solution is genius and tackles several issues. Be aware this core idea will be stolen by companies it simply is the best solution i've ever seen hands down.

"Be aware this core idea will be stolen by companies" I was thinking the same thing. If this hasn't been done elsewhere by someone else, they should put a patent on it. Let DIYers who make it for themselves keep on doing what they do because it is for personal use, not profit . For profit greedy corporate camper makers, however, would take Their Idea and profit off of it. Worse still, if this design is not protected, a really bad company could potentially steal this idea and copyright it for themselves, and then they make money off of this couple's creation.

​@@CarolinaCarolina-ph9mx As far as i know, you cannot patent a technical design if it is already published. Independent of if it is really your design or not. So if they didn't patent it until now, they won't be able to at all. Might be different in different countries, of course. I'm talking about the situation in Germany. And it is different for things like slogans. Those you can still protect after they have been published, I believe.

@@nightstrike710 Thank you for your response. I did say that if it hasn't already been done then they should patent it. Obviously, if it is someone else's design they can't claim it for their own. In the US, I know that for artists and writers their work is supposed to be copyrighted as soon as they create it. Proving it, however, may take a few more steps if someone were to then steal the idea. If this idea hasn't already been done, then the video they put out here might be all they need to prove they had the idea first if they were to patent it and then tried to protect it from RV companies stealing it without compensating them. However, I think they would need a patent on it first, and in this country, I think you can patent just about anything. I am not a patent attorney, and I have not patented anything in this country, but I have scrolled through patents and been surprised at what I saw, and they go from very complex designs to very simple. I even know of a few people who patented things that were quite simple. One person put a patent on something that was about as basic as putting a few drops of rubber cement on an item. Another basically glued a few yoga blocks together. They both made good money off these ideas, too. These were small, simple ideas, but our patent office had no problem giving them a patent, and has no problem slapping them on larger and more complex ideas/designs/products. Again, not an attorney, but feel pretty confident an idea like that could be patented in THIS country - if it hasn't been patented already.

@@CarolinaCarolina-ph9mx Interesting! If it works like that, all the better and I agree, they should look into getting a patent for this :) Just for clarification: AFAIK, posting this video would already count as publishing the design. And therefore it couldn't be patented anymore. I don't know, if that point came across correctly.

My guess as to why: this requires slightly more careful craftsmanship than a fixed walled shower room. They clearly have the skills and confidence to build it preciously so that it moves easily. For instance, if the tracks are off line it doesn't slide easily. I like this idea. It may take a little more time to build but it's definitely worth it in a small space like this.

@deborahcurtis1385

It is a great solution, and overall I'm impressed. However a minor but potentially annoying point: I can see the towels and the shower curtain building up some mould over time they aren't going to dry when fully enclosed. It's probably better to have a vent leading out of the shower frame at the top? Or have a practice of at least wiping the shower curtain down before closing up, using a microfibre cloth which has been dipped in cider vinegar (anti mould). Create a drying rack over your front seats for your towels. Or just use the steering wheel. That would be easy to do as that area gets the most sun.

WHAT AM I SEEING? What am I seeing?!? That shower is GENIUS. Your design is going to change van life. On behalf of my future van build, thank you both for thinking this through!! Thumbs 👍🏿 🔔

You all are geniuses! Love your fold-up shower. Amazing that it compresses down to a 6" wall! The Achilles heel of this set up will be humidity, mold and mildew. You may want to consider making a shower curtain out of quick dry fabric that repels water such as Ottertex Water Repellant 200D DWR Poly Ripstop. It comes in a lot of fun colors. Then put a couple of rechargeable dehumidifiers, such as the Eva-Dry 333 cu in mini, on the shower floor after everything is wiped down post shower. The beads will absorb moisture and they can be recharged by plugging them in. If it's a nice day outside you can put the wooden shower floor outside to dry in the sun. You do great work.

I tought exactly the same! I really love this idea, but all always have some problem.. here the problem is the humidity, mold and mildew as you told.

@CarolinaCarolina-ph9mx

13 күн бұрын

The bottom of the floor was wooden slats, wasn't it? They can wipe down everywhere else, and even run a fan for a bit to easily dry any other moisture, but the wood on that floor will remain damp for far too long, and will definitely lead to mold and mildew. It is pretty, but they would have been better served to just use standard flooring there, or even a rubber mat over the floor. Given they plan to keep the toilet in there when showering, I think they probably should have made the space a bit larger. I don't see any room to actually stand with the toilet in the middle, so they will have to sit on top of it, and not only does that makes bathing the area that needs bathing the most considerably harder, there doesn't seem to be much room for their knees and feet to project out. They intended to use the shower with the toilet inside it, but I think they will have to take it out because it just doesn't have enough room in there. A very clever design, just needed to slide the wall out farther.

Definitely the best shower design I’ve seen. I can see even doing this at the front of a van as a pass through on the shower holder side and when driving leaving the shower open.

The more I think about and review this idea is where a tendency to keep the space small where a more reasonable and realistic size could and would have multiple uses from shower,wet area,winter out door ware items,area to hang laundry after washing,area for muddy items, area to contain wet pets.

I think that this was the smartest thing for a shower and to still have room. This would be perfect for people with their vans.

re: towel holder extending length --> take off the end caps and then put slightly larger and longer tubes around each of the three bars. Either have a length equal to the depth of the shower (but it might tangle with the shower hose) or slide in/out as needed. That was fun to watch! Thank you

Wow, amazing! I've watched hundreds of shower videos for a van as inspiration for my current build. This is for sure the best solution I've ever seen. So smooth and space saving! Can't believe how much couch/extra bed space you have. Just amazing! Love from Sweden! ♥

The collapsible shower ! Insanely crazy! I was thinking, and maybe I missed it but to have the toilet pull out, so you don't have to move cushions to use it. I've never seen a shower like this and I've watched 100s of vids! 👏👏👏👏👏

This is brilliant. Just when I think I’ve seen it all, someone comes up with a great idea.

I saw something similar in a tiny house, but this one is even smaller...just fantastic

I’ve liked the idea to build a rail for a shower curtain to go around 3 sides of the shower but to put the wall on a rail. Mind blown. Excellent use of the bench to hide the toilet. The bench seems too deep but when you realize it actually doubles as a booth where you’re facing a different direction is next level.

Best looking shower set up I've seen in van builds. WoW

very cool. you should patent the idea! I have never liked folded up showers bc on the no privacy in the toilet, now there's both options! I love how you created your own idea and not just what every other build is doing.

Brilliant idea for the sliding shower wall because it's used so little, creates a lot more space and I love the couch/bed.

I’ve been watching every vid I can find for months trying to get ideas for “hidden” showers as I want to retain as much useful space as possible in my 6x10 trailer to haul things… sliding or hinged solid wall is the way to go! So many designs use wrap around curtains, really not pleasant or practical! I’m hoping to eliminate even the entry curtain by using one of the retractable shower doors I saw on another build but I’m sure it’s $$$. Great design 💪

Electric units use a LOT of electricity. They are not suitable for off-grid situations.

I was skeptical at first thinking this would not make much of a difference, however, as you work through the video you start to realise it's pure genius how you get some many different usages out of the same space with minimal fuss. Very inspiring

Absolutely love the shower/bathroom set up!❤

Love this extremely well thought out design and functionality. One suggestion is to use magnets to keep the shower curtain rod from being moved when you do not want it moved in use position

I would suggest some magnets and if the casing isn't metal, glue one to the casing and then you can make sure your shower curtain does not stick to you. Magnet on the shower curtain, glued matching one on the casing.

Pretty smart design. I would suggest some command hooks for hanging things and a hanging pockets organizer for soap and shampoo type stuff. They have them on Amazon; I searched for mesh pocket shower organizers. I would suggest that you attach it permanently to the static wall rather than the curtain rod, because shampoo, body wash and conditioners be heavy. But keep everything thin enough to fit in the closed shower. Love the towel bar. Love the whole thing.
