Shower curtains take too long to dry. If you put it away wet, its going to get moldy pretty quickly.

It's a nice design, but obscenely overpriced for what it is.

I’m sure they aren’t making obscene profit on this. Unfortunately it takes a lot of money to make something like this.

Good video. How do you avoid marring the deck finish from the handle when deployed? Perhaps I missed something. After 13 years in Sprinters with 7 in a 144" I still prefer a shower deck. I've built two, the first with a motorized valve and options to the BW tank or ground and presently just a 'mud room' version which simply drains out the rear door threshold (I don't use soap.). I admit I've always used (Well, since having to replace 3 door 'detents' in cockpits.) the rear door for access/egress. As poorly designed as the rear deck-threshold-bumper is for access/egress I prefer a door that pivots squarely and less like the 'gull wings' jejeje of the cockpit. My first shower deck cost me ~$600 and they both provide the ability to climb in with dirty footwear during foul weather and rinsing off before entering the cabin proper. If I ever have an extended Sprinter I'll have a full fledged bathroom/mud room with an insulated wall forward to avoid the terrible thermal transfers of the rear doors. But that's just me.

The handle has plastic feet that protect the floor. Would love to see your shower deck. Do you have a video link?
@HuangXingQingКүн бұрын
@@shaunwilkens I don't. I could find/take some pics. I never photographed the work belowdeck, only the upper deck and at one point I had pics of the build process. I think Picasa ate those years ago and won't let me dnld them without a fee. I'll look for them tho'.

I have a 16' scamp with many mods and added a very similar hatch right behind the tire. Since I had modified the interior a great deal there was a new twin bunk on each side. On this side I boxed in an enclosure for outside access with the hatch for entry. It is very handy for all of that stuff that you really don't want inside.

Yeah, that would be nice. I know that would be a pretty small trickle charge. Another option I considered was hooking up a dc:dc charger to the tow vehicle battery and have Anderson connectors between the tow vehicle and trailer.

I say?? VERY GOOD job!!! :) ... I am going to use cans of spray foam for the wall between the cab and the back of the van .. and full giant sheets of Styrofoam (with foil on each side), and spray cans for the sides of the back of the van. The ceiling has stock insulation I will leave alone ... I don't know what insulation it is (looking online to learn today) .. but I WILL spray the gap between the metal ceiling and the plywood walls at some point! :) Mine is a nice square 1990's StepVan So it should be uncomplicated :) .. but I'm sure I'll run into something along the way! :)
