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 😊

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.

Rollers and track for the 'moving wall' are an amazing idea. Outstanding! Not sure why no one else has done this...

@jamieevans871 11 күн бұрын

@gblakev 4 күн бұрын

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.

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.

Could you please sell that as a kit ?millions will buy it before going homeless

@johnwang9914 Күн бұрын

There is a German company that sells a folding shower for a van. I believe it's called Cailly. It looks like they modified the shower from the first steel version for cargo vans to one with panels suitable for camper vans as it doesn't look like the kits that I remember finding on their website years ago. The trick for a folding shower is the drain pan, you either have to work it into your floor to begin with or have a folding pan fold down, alternatively you can draw it out as a drawer from a nearby counter. Note the old industrial kits that the website used to have included items such as a railroad style fold down steel vanity sink but now the website shows just the shower and a dinette/bed kit. You may have to go to the way back machine to see the old industrial kits. As to van living when poor. Naturally living out of your vehicle may become an economic necessity but in general van conversions for van living are expensive luxury projects, most of the van living videos we see are from the wealthy who can still use their parents address for registrations and storage, they are hardly the homeless forced to live out of their vehicles...

Unfortunately, there are countries in which it's illegal to spend the night in a vehicle (except at official campsites where they pay and they're usually only allowed to start for a few days). The Netherlands is one of them.

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

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 💪

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.
