Have you had any cracking of the shower pan?

@ScottAndJen

Жыл бұрын

Hi Brad. There was lots of cracking in the end I had to completely re-seal with epoxy resin which made it look brad new (I mixed white with the resin). Re the install in this video I didn't apply nearly enough adhesive to the floor and if I were to install again I would be putting maybe a tube or more in large mounds to stick the tray better. I would also be tempted to fill any voids on the underside of the tray completely with expanding foam to reduce movement and improve rigidity. After long term and consistent use I would make the review that the tray is cheap crap and poor quality. However that being said there are no others that you can buy that are a set with the toilet we had. If you take the above precautions I would suggest you would be able to avoid the problems we encountered. Good luck

@@ScottAndJen It seems that your experience is not uncommon. To avoid this I'm thinking of sourcing a better quality tray and then mounting the toilet on it somehow, should be possible 😁

@@bkk6211 it could be an idea or just make one with ply and tile the thing. Potentially grout with flexible grout if that is even a thing. I would surmise there is some sort of material to suit as I've seen people using tiles in a van before. Maybe normal grout is no problem?

For once a good well explained video have seen many regarding a shower in a vanbuild and your is definitiv one of the best. Thanks for sharing.

I like that you kept the cassette on the inside of the van rather than cutting a hole on the outside of your van. Great work!

Great vid and high quality work Scott. I second you re the tin snips. Great for tin but not for upvc sheets. Found upvc cut well with fine bladed jig saw. Looking forward to your next vid to discover all the things I should have done in my build 😂

Awesome video dude, thanks! Have watched it through a few times, getting ideas to approach my own shower build. One little tip: when kerf cutting to bend, the cuts should ideally be on the compression (in) side rather than the outside (back). It does work that way, as you did, but the bend is weaker. When they’re on the inside, the remaining spines support each other, leaving a stronger bend. 😘

Nice build with good tips keep up the great work, can’t wait to start mine

Nice. - looking forward to part 2.

this is the best full shower install i have seen....most people just show snippets of what they did like go figure

Just found your channel, thoroughly enjoyed it. I have subscribed and am now binge watching the rest. Hoping to buy a van and do the conversion very soon. I say do the conversion what I mean is get someone else to do it as my husband is not into diy. We are both retired and hoping to travel the UK and Europe when we can. Look after yourself in what is our crazy world at the minute. Stay safe and take care from Newcastle upon Tyne xx

What fitting did you use to connect the toilet water inlet to the flush water pipe on the toilet? I have to make the same connection and am trying to buy that part, or considering just shoving the 12mm JG pipe inside the inlet pipe and using a jubilee clip (but it is a tight squeeze).

Hi it is a barbed end fitting to JG push fit. You will be fine with the other technique also though if you can squeeze it in. I would recommend atleast two jubilee clips 3 if you can and have them spare

Hey Scott great build about to do the same for our shower, your video is very helpful thank you! Quick question - That elbow bracket for the shower mixer that you put on top of the batten and drilled through the batten - To keep the batten strong so you don't drill through it, I'm thinking about mounting it to the underside of the batten via that backing plate (not to the wall), do you think that would cause any issues? I think my batten is slightly smaller then yours so worried about drilling away too much wood and don't have room for an extra 9mm wood to screw into! Cheers -Laz

Hi Malcolm it was from Ebay I just search shower backing plate and added the female opening sizes with 90. Good luck

I would have put the shower head on the other side of the shower room. No one wants the water to pummel their face while they are showering. If its on the other side you have more room to adjust the spray nozzel. It doesn't help that the shower pan is small to begin with but next time you are in a shower stand right infront of the spray nozzel where you are practically bumping into it and you'll quickly realize how annoying it is and you'll want to have a bit of distance from you and the shower head.
