I would have the back part be shower /tolet. Have then have single wide bed. I don't want to potty in kitchen
you win some you loose some 😞
In Europe, you can buy small shower room that is completely closed and isolated. And you can have Drawer there where is toilet seat stored. It's pretty good
very cool!
I switched from a Transit Connect Mini Camper (with only a urine diverting toilet and outdoor shower) to a Sprinter only because I absolutely want an indoor shower and toilet (separate). This was my plan before COVID. Since then, I would only build a van with bathroom. Never really cared about public showers/toilets.
Totally agree, the 2020 events really changed the way a lot of vanlifers would build their van moving forward.
Good idea! Love it
I plan on having the entire doorway all the way to the kitchen on the drivers side, be a full hidden shower. it will be 56" by 46". Much larger than any normal shower/bath. I'm going to have runners hidden in the roof in-between the wood planks too!
Really excited to see how it turns out!
I plan on doing the same thing! Furthermore, on the passenger side it will be a 56" 46" poo bucket. I believe everything should be done in spacious luxury.
I have a hidden/trap door shower sunken into the insulated floor. The pan is stainless steel and it has a teak inlay. Powder coated steel sides get put between the teak inlay & shower pan, and a shower curtain with magnets sewn in to keep the shower curtain around the perimeter of the shower pan. The shower is a recirculating shower using Rixen’s on demand hydronic water & air heat. The toilet is an airhead that slides in and out of the garage area under the bed. The van also has a hot and cold outdoor shower that uses standard water supply.
very very cool design it sounds like!
Super Great Compilation
Glad you liked it
I’m putting in about a 2’x3’ shower on the drivers side. Composting toilet too.
clever!

I have shower for sure, what do you think I am in the business of smelling up the place...
My shower is 70x70cm at 12cm high and stores including the showpan, a foot friendly shower floor, a shower curtain, a stool and the diy scoop style shower head.
I do not have any dedicated shower plumbing apart from the floor drain which is plumbed into a mobile waste water tank which I set up under the van if I feel the waste water can not be drained freely. I use a 10L bucket (which I carry a couple of since I use them to do laundry as well) and a DIY scoop style shower head made from a empty 5L liquid detergent bottle. The bottle shower head thingy can be used to scoop up water from the bucket dump style or as a shower head held above my head since the cap has a series of 1,5mm holes drilled into it to act as a nice spraying shower head.
The shower pan is made of a plastic washing machine catchment basin encased in a plywood enclosure and a lid. The shower pan has a sink style drain made into a corner which is set above a small pvc drain in the floor of the van when in use. The shower can be used inside the van or hung from some string outdoors. I carry a cut down plastic pallet to set the shower on top of to elevate it and have a sort of clean and dry area to get in and out of the shower.
I use the shower the most inside the van and since the van leaves me not enough headroom I shower sitting down on a fold up stool furo style (japanese showering). Showering sitting down is very comfortable and I got used to it very fast... I have the shower curtain hung so it is just above my shoulders as I sit, the rest of the height simply hangs down into the shower pan. This way I can still look outside and not be "cut off" while bathing...
I would add a toliet seat riser to that bucket. Ive done it to ourweekend horse trailer, works wonders.
thats a good idea
here for ideas im building now
5:06 Oh yes, one of those... Image what will happen if this van (god (or Allah) forbid) winds up in a high speed crash of some kind... those quirky and highly eclectic storage jars will become life altering glass projectiles hitting the back of the heads of those sitting in the cab of said van...
Get rid of any exposed glass and while you are at it, also get rid of those magnetic knife bars...for obvious and similar reasons...
No shower in my van, but I've got a standard height Savana 2500 extended, so no head height for a shower. I do, however, have a Nature's Head toilet. That was a non-negotiable for me!
Love all the great ideas. 💚🇬🇧💚
Thanks so much! 😊
I want to get a van. I wouldn’t have a toilet and shower in mine because I will only park in caravan parks and camp grounds. I won’t be off in the wilderness where there are no facilities.
If you know youre staying near civilization then its a good idea
where do I find the full video of number 4, that's literally my dream build- back kitchen is so rare!
Yes, I am putting a shower in my custom one off expedition truck built under 10k Canadian
Urine divert and compost toilet useable but no smell and not near to food prep area.
I'm sure they're really nice people, even though their names are Karen and Kevin. LOL Jokes aside, that's a great build.
Jajaja the names are super funny Karen and Kevin. I was told that these names are related to Salty people. 😱😱😱
The saltyness couldnt be less true, they are some of the kindest people we have EVER met.
I'm actually trying to figure out how I can have a bathtub in mine.
Like well thought out wet room in van it is vital privacy, convenience, great hygiene. No washing baby, dog, teeth or hair in kitchen sink.

If your going to live full time in a van, you need a bathroom……that is not beside/under “hidden” where you make and cook your food. Just my opinion
to each their own :D
I definitely agree. As a Chef the kitchen area needs to be away from the bathroom side.
FFS it’s a van, not a house. 😂
A lot of armchair experts in here I see 😂
@@VanClanit is disgusting and unhygienic
I have zero incontinence issues but unhooking, flipping , sliding etc - i really may not make it 😅
but you dont have to walk through a big house to reach the toilet! it balances out in the end!
No built in wet bath hidden shower though
it can for sure be done tho!
How to deal with feces?
8:31 Ah yes, ye old salad bowl poop storage...
No plans for a shower.
I hear you, for some its either necessary or not an option at all :D
It makes me chuckle when people stage their vans with plants and knick knacks as if it were a house. The first things to go when you’re on the road is useless stuff that can fall on the floor or take up valuable room.
I understand what you’re saying, but remember this IS their house. Almost everyone we film lives in their van full-time so the added personality is necessary for them. Thanks for the comment!
No shower
yes, there is shower :D
Super great vid, instant new fan!
Maybe if we work real hard, we will meet this year to show you our StarTruck in person!
Check out our humble beginnings @StarTruckTO. From Toronto Ontario, Robp and Kayla K! ✨💖🚐🔊💨🎶🎵😎🥳
Thanks for the kind comment! Is your rig done yet? Were in ontario and always open to tours.
