I would still hang the shower curtain out in the sun 🌞 to get extra assurance that the mold won't build on the curtain. The exposure to the sun will kill the spores. I like your idea for that shower, this would be my choice for my van build. Great job ! 😃👍

Brilliant idea and your tenacity with the fabrication process has to be applauded.

I love using neodymium magnets! I've just constructed solar panel mounts for holding the panels on van roof (past experiences made me paranoid about holes in my van roof). True creativity is an evolutionary process as seen by your many, various attempts to arrive at a successful shower curtain--a methodology I am very familiar with. Your van build videos have given me new ideas I may incorporate into my van remodel. Please don't edit out your trial-and-error process as this is essential to conveying to other the creative process. I've subscribed to your channel and look forward to your videos.

I'm going back to watch your video on installing your ceiling - installing it with magnets is genius!

i made same with my camper before and found out that wider on the upper part is very helpful

Your happiness overflows this way a lot.

Wow, I watched this baby develop from the beginning. You should be proud of yourself, job well done👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿. I'm happy it all came together for you.🤗

Omg! I have been using magnets to attach wood strips to my van ceiling for nearly 3 years to temporarily put up my insulation plus a thin covering material. It has stayed up securedly for almost 3 years now. I have not tested using magnets with the panels yet. Thanks to you, I now know that it will work. Yippy! You are the 1st person I have seen using magnets as well for the ceiling after viewing over 200 videos. I also wanted to do a collapsable alluminum bed frame but I have not seen anyone doing this. Your collapsable bed frame video is extremely helpful!! Thank you for sharing.

Hi Savage, your shower curtain is so expensive Look at what I did I got a hula hoop, a shower curtain with Rings. Tied five strings meeting to the center with another ring and hooked it above my ceiling hook.It cost me $20.00 total.

The magnets i've never seen before in many years on KZfaq. You are an engineer young man. God bless you and your natural talents.

Ingenious.. installing the shower system directly under a pot light/ skylight or vent will help with lighting. I don't particularly like climbing into or out of the shower curtain- cutting an opening with magnetic/Velcro strips along the seams to keep it closed while showering may work.

Working with ripstop nylon. I was thinking of the same material and ordered some samples. You can fold a hem then iron it for a really good crease, then open the fold, place a batten parallel to the fold and use that as a straight edge. Use a hot glue gun to run a bead of glue onto the nylon, Let it cool. Place magnets as required and run glue either side to make a pocket. Fold the hem back over and iron to stick the material together. If you want a really strong hem, repeat. You can use this to join pieces together for a wider curtain. Makes a good strong area for eyelets as well. Much cheaper than getting it sewn and probably just as strong.

Plain white curtains with a mesh top panel would provide light and a place for moisture to escape. Thank heavens mine will be a simple square. You way more creative than I am.

Infectious enthusiasm, almost impeccable English (you don't lie something down, you lay it down), great ideas and attention to detail. That butcher block is fantastic. Bay area, educated, seemingly unlimited budget? Must have rich parents. That's KZfaq. All kinds. Variety of people makes the world go round.

Brilliant idea about installing the ceiling with magnets!

Awesome shower design 🙌🏼 I really enjoy your style of making videos and your willingness to share the process, even the mistakes. Your video will be added to my Van shower design video collection.

Using a light colored curtain will allow better light inside to see. This is just for those who have not made there’s yet. 😉

🧡💛💚🤎 it! The + was I found your channel by accident!!!! I’ve wanted to build a removable roof when I start my build!!!! OMGOODNESS this is so totally awesome!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Love your shower design. Will take it a copy of it for my van. Thanks for sharing. LOVE it

Very nice work. I also like that you installed the ceiling with magnets. next level

Love your idea to use magnets for mounting the ceiling; I've never seen anyone do that before. Thanks for sharing.

I've seen a collapsible shower rod on RVs and boats. It's kind of segmented and moves out of the way. Don't know the name though. Btw, you can split the curtain open and sew pleads with magnetic strips along the edge so they will "auto close". I've seen this being used in commercial dust systems for painters, drywall , etc. The magnetic strip would be similar to the flat/bendable magnets used for business cards and flyers you attach to a fridge.

Damn good job...clean install aka " the invisible shower" ...the rip stop also allowed a bit of light right thru fabric.....you have soooo much patience and thanks for being honest in the challenges success and the re-dos

A work of art. A van you can be proud of. Well done sir , bravo 👍👍

Very good job. Looks nice and functional. You are an excellent teacher and builder. I always learn something new with each video, usually a process or tool. Very good job!!

EXCELLENT Shower install ! Thank you for showing how you solved problems that would give many noobs major headaches, I really liked and learned much from the different uses of magnets, especially using them for an easier ceiling install ! Glad you put rubber padding on the top edges of the tub for safety, but you should also put rubber on the vertical edge of the corner so no one smashes against a stainless steel edge. Looking forward to the complete van tour.

Congratulations on completion of the van but you're so full of ideas you know you'll make more changes.

Magnets are a great solution to many things in Sprinter. I have been stocking up with varioys shapes sizes. Ceiling ...Scott Abrams ? Did ceiling with sections padded/upholstered then secured. I am using wood-colored foam- reflectix stuff in my van. Ultralight weight with extra insulation and "sheathing". 6'x6' squares to finish ceiling. Quick easy ultralight weight...

Damn dud, I’m 70 yro watching as much van builds. This is the first time I’ve seen your vlog. SMART IDEA 💡 ON THE WHOLE VLOG. THE ONE THAT BLOW ME AWAY. (Sorry the caps.....forgot.) was the ceiling. Damn dud that big time smart !!! Along with the shower build !!

No Way the Van is 100% complete! There is always something to improve!!!;-)

Magnets for the win! So useful for everything. Congrats on finishing the build.

The magnet design is genius!

Awesome. What a great build and Vlog !

Wonderful ideas for a can shower! Thank you for sharing. One thought about the shower curtain: I would buy more yardage so as to have one side overlap; in that way there wouldn’t be a need to crawl into the curtain from the bottom like a shirt. It’ll be a simple door-like entrance And since the one wall completely overlaps there wouldn’t be any water to escape out.

Love your magnetic Ceiling!

You should have turned that collapsable shower upside down, remove the mesh and use it with the narrow part on the bottom, since most of your movement will be in your arms. That's where you'd need the larger portion of that shower anyway. Could try that :) You could even leave the mesh on the narrower end, and it would help to catch longer hair.

Very smart way to do the ceiling

I would of just used a plastic shower liner curtain. Sells for around $5 at Goodwill or Walmart. Usage of magnets on ceiling planks brilliant idea. Thank you for the video. Have a blessed day.

magnets for the win! 🧲 awesome van/shower idea! shower power lol🚿 🤘

You did a very good job, it's awesome to have a shower on the go, but I think that you did chose the difficult way to me, I would choose the one on the wall.👍

This is so cool. A must have for me is toilet shower with a waste after collection Must have

excellent design and execution

Love it. In my imaginary van build I'd have a mix between this and Jarrod Tocci's design. Maybe have a seat or extra kitchen worktop space.

Brilliant magnet idea!!!! I'm copying.

I want to congratulate you on your thinking and problem solving and the execution of your ideas. I have been working out and adapting my ideas for in van showering and just last week came across the Australian produced Evershower on KZfaq and I’ve now found it available in USA and in UK. It has the advantage of being useable outside the van as well as inside and not using up my precious water and space in the van. All the ideas I had been working on came together in the Evershower . I find your energy and enthusiasm to be engaging. Best wishes for your van life Douglas

Magnetic ceiling? Brilliant

Congrats on finishing!!

Super. Excellent job. Beautifull shower

Congratulations!! Thank you for sharing.

Your a smart young man! Good for you! Great job

Excellent shower ideas! Love the video.

Love the magnet idea for the ceiling boards. I will be using that idea when I do my build.

Ingenious idea. Excellent job

Best shower i have seen so far. Sell me one for my crafter😂

Love the man bun! You are officially accepted into the Van Community!

Congratulations! It's been a joy to watch!

Fantastic!

Congratulations on your van completion. Great Job!

I've followed your journey for a while now and I'm so stoked for ya! I'm planning on starting my build soon and people don't fully realize how difficult it is every step of the way, thank you for all your awesome videos, they are an inspiration and you're definitely one of my favorites and I look forward to more videos of you traveling the country! cheers.

Fantastic 😁🔥🔥🔥 I have a project with à Ford transit trail L3h3 … I will have probably the size to make a classical shower but I have seen your 2 videos with a lot of passion 😂 seriously, I like your work, it’s clean, intelligent… what else ! Thanks for all your sharing ! Kiss from France 🇫🇷

Come across you by accident....I've seen quite a few videos of conversations now...part of my research for when I get round to it....got to say you've got some cracking ideas that others dont seem to have thought of.

I subbed over this segment. You are a genius.

Love the hidden magnet system and the fact that your shower takes up no vertical space when not in use.

Pat yourself on your back. Here is your troupe 🏆 👌

Your attention to detail has been awesome just like the rest of your build, well done you.. oh the man bun looks pretty cool too 😉😊

Well done 👍

Congratulations! so many cool ideas and great how tos!

Excellent progress! Congratulations

Hello i just watch both video's are great great job . AWESOME VERY WONDERFUL KNOWLEDGE.

Excellent job! you are so clever & should be proud!

Fantastic and brilliant!

This is the best shower install I have seen! Amazing work man!

love your enthusiasm and genuineness in design/ products/ successes & failures i have a humble road / pleasure way van and think that a permanent shower may be overkill..obviously i can also use mine for a pantry/ hanging clothes/ skis/ etc keep it up seven!!

Brilliant build! I've enjoyed watching the journey.

It's a nice shower curtain design. You could have made the top wider for extra elbow room. I'm glad you are happy with your build. It's a great feeling when ideas come to life and projects are completed. Many blessings for you and your travels young man. Be happy and stay safe along the way.

HOLY SHIT THE MAGNET ON THE TONGUE AND GROVE!!!! MAKING A DROP DOWN ROOF GET THE F OUT OF HERE I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS AND I'VE SEEN SOOOOOOOOO MANY COOL DESIGNS, IT'S KIND OF CRAZY! I have always absolutely hated the screws on the ceiling. I also am not ready to do solar and now I can complete my ceiling before if need be. AWESOME!!!

Happy trails. I'm jealous, ready to be back on the road.

Learned a lot from your videos! Great ideas for conversions. Smart guy.

The man bun! Welcome to vanlife 🙌🏼

You have done so many smart things. Love it!

NICE!!! can't wait for the whole tour.. :D

Just bypass that notch at the corner and pool at the bottom. Looks like you got it figured out!

Lol you went all out with that thumbnail xD awesome vid btw looking forward to more :)

Very nice addition. I love the innovations you have done in your build.

Great job! Buy a flashlight with a magnet. I have one and it is awesome.

Good job man!

Bravo 👏🏾👏🏾. Love your van conversion

looks very satisfying, congrats

TA-Da! Man that is Awesome! Bravo! Peace.

Suggestion ... small spray bottle with laundry sanitizer ... spray pan and inside out surface of curtain and will keep it fresh and avoid mildew even when putting it back damp in the vented compartment.

great to see how well the ceiling is holding up :)

Very clever idea

Great idea, very well made, and so many clever solutions. You have been sharing all this and it becomes a path for my future van build. Thanks a lot. Great work.

Congratulations! It is a fantastic build & i look forward to your adventures.

Congratulations! I've enjoyed and appreciated the documentation of your build. Many happy travels to you.

Hi happy day! New subbie here... your channel was great helpful tips & genius ideas👍🏻❤️

Not sure if you know this. But you can buy shower curtain lining that already has magnets but in them. They are cheap $4-5 bucks. And are meant to thru away and change out ever so often. And they are white and kinda of see thru. So it lets light in to help you see when you take a shower. Black in a inclosed Van. I would assume is really dark. Good Luck!

Cool van, enjoyed!

Well this is awesome. I am very impressed. This van is nearly exactly what I would want and checks all of the boxes. Great work and make sure you let us all know if you decide to take on some van builds for others!

Nice idea. Hello from Brazil.
