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.

Placing this by the door is brilliant because it allows you to rinse off muddy boots/shoes/feet when coming in. If you have a dog you could shower your dog as well if it is muddy. This is so smart.

Smartest I've seen. Fixed space is wasted space. Well done!

@marineboy4622 Жыл бұрын

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!

Thank you for showing us your bathroom. The shower / toilet is a fantastic idea. It takes no extra space either. Brilliant. 😊

EXCELLENT video. Great ideas and thinking "Outside the box" 🙂 You could extend the shower head and wooden grate outside the van box if weather and location permit. Happy Trails.

You could easily use the shower outside too. You just need something to mount the head to on the outter wall. Also good foor cleaning outdoor gear like beach chairs and sand before entering

@simplylive2466 Ай бұрын

What a brilliant idea! Uses the "deadspace" of the entry for something useful AND gives you somewhere to step into and put wet clothes/shoes on, to drain, if it's been raining, and it will not destroy the floor of the van

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!

@wownewstome6123 Жыл бұрын

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.

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..

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.

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.

@alternative_lives 2 жыл бұрын

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 😊

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.

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
