For the front of the toilet, you could have created a groove on the inside of each of the batons (or space out two smaller batons) so the panel could have just slid down into place. You could then cut / drill a small hole in the top of the panel to get a finger in to act as a handle for easy removal.
Loving the new video you can tell everything is coming together and starting to look neat and tidy little suggestion maybe get a hard duty mat cut it and place it under the toilet with maybe a small handle on it attached so you drag the toilet out making it easy for you to take out without dragging it out on your new flooring 👍🏻
Love it. I have the same toilet and have been trying to work out the best way to hide it in a cubby like this. The only thing I would change, is instead of the hooks and dowels, just using a few good magnets.
Great Vid Shaun. Coming on nicely. You've overtaken me and I'm only doing a Transit custom Camper. Flat head screws are usually used for visual reasons. Cabinet makers use them a lot and love to line up all the slots in an OCD style!!! I think they are for hand tools only. i chuck em out and use cross head for the sake of my fingers and mental heath!!
That vans coming on a treat now Shaun...No more bending down to walk round lol ...I enjoyed every minute of building Vicky, My van .Happy vanning mate.
Lovely video again ❤ for your lift off toilet panel, grab some Hafele keku fixings. They are used on back to wall toilet fixings when you need to get a front panel off....they also pull the panel in tighter and will not rattle like a hook would
Totally agree with you flat headed screws are useless congratulations on the baby only just found your channel so ive watched all the new van build videos in one go ive really enjoyed them to the point im gonna go watch some of your other videos in the other van
Another great van build vlog, all coming together nicely, trials and errors of getting it right and thank goodness for phone a friend (Dad)😊 also great that it's not raining for once, eagerly waiting for next vlog, well done Sean 😎🤙🌊🏄♂️🚐
The plywood next to the toilet you could do some shelves. Within the plywood. If you know what I mean..Indents with in the plywood. Not sure how to explain it. I sm really enjoying your videos. They are great to watch xx
Its really coming on now Shaun, love the way you worked the toilet. You are taking your time to think things through. It's going to be awesome when finished! Keep up the great work rgds Alan 👍
What’s the plan for a hot shower then? A popup stall with a portable propane heater? I have a propane tank hooked up to a portable heater for use in the front yard (I don’t have a van lol). But I plan to use it for my race weekends when I take my race car to track and camp out there.
Completely agree re flat head screws, they're absolutely useless & if there's ever a problem getting a screw back out in the future it's 99.9% of the time because it's not a Phillips. Hate the things & always use my own when buying something that comes with its own fixings.
"safety Crocs" 😆is this where I say "touché"? Superb gadget for getting those angled holes drilled and that toilet is nicely hidden away. Another interesting video, cheers 👍🏻
You bring back Spanish nightmares carrying around a heavy (full) toilet. I saw a guy full hazmat style to empty him. I've dropped you an email, hope it hasn't gone straight to junkmail. 👍
Hey Shaun, To Cut A Long Story Short, Phillip / cross head was created to solve a problem of flat heads being shit when you use a drill or a powered screw driver. if you have ever tried used a flat head in a drill/powered driver you'll know the pain of how badly it works lol. so if you need to use a drill /powered screw driver, phillips is the way to go... lol
@@LoveSundays You Use What Ever Ya Want Mate. "It's Your Van, & You Can Screw It How You Want Too!" (Like The Its My Party You Can Cry If Ya Want To song lol) haha
Great video Shaun them there joinery skills are really coming on and don't think I didn't notice new little corner drilling jig thingy. Usually watching your videos in sunny Yorkshire. Watched this latest one in sunny ish cornwall pz 👍
Love the amount of effort and the right tools for the job! I just eyeballed mine of a funny looking scribbled looking ikea plan that I had drawn! Love watching the build so far!
Great episode Mate, loved it. Such a great idea with the toilet, that’s my biggest pain in my van The Plywood you put up on the front, that would look really nice carpeted like you’ve done everywhere else, in black, it will break up the white colour and also feel warm and inviting 🤙🏻🍊
My worse fear is my camper getting crashed into, or tipping over on a round about (I have a little Bedford Bambi so feels like that’s not impossible) with my used and un emptied toilet in the back…
As usual shaun great video the van is coming along great loving seeing you build it and work out the problems thats what i loved about building our van. See you next week stay safe buddy love best wishes to the family 🙏 michael & Kim
Those “safety” crocks🐊 are really cool! I like how the sole looks extra thick & durable. But do they have reinforced steel tipped toes? 🤣🤣. I’ve never seen those here in the United States. 🐊 BTW, hearing the sloshing of the cassette🚽 contents while you were moving it, reinforced why I’m going to have a composting one. Luv Sundays! Bye!
Another great video Shaun you will be able to dump in peace. I'm watching from the carpark in Porthleven as down your way seeing the family. (Usually Bunny Basher UK on my other channel)
Loving the build- I actually passed you when you were broken down on the A30 - but didn’t know if was you - not that I could have helped lol- maybe see you around as I live in Redruth - compare notes as I’m converting a Sprinter at the moment
Ha ha 😂 Safety Crocs are ace 👍👍 I’m about the same stage as you with a Renault Master , maybe a few days ahead , thing is , do it so it suits you , crack on Shaun 👍
As I’ve mentioned in previous videos I had a shower once in a van and never used it. Overnight trips don’t need a shower and longer trips when you stop over in campsites they have showers
@@LoveSundays Interesting. It is obviously personal preference, but with your high level of skill (and enthusiasm!), I would be more ambitious than 'bucket under the bed'. I have a VW T4 campervan which would definitely benefit from an enclosed toilet unit. I take your point about campsites, but the great thng about campervans is the independence they give. Nowadays I only use my van once a year for a festival. If I used it more, I would go for a shower/toilet unit and regard that as a good use of space. After all, what else is the space really needed for, except somewhere to eat and sleep, though perhaps not at the same time... Keep the reports coming!
I’m very curious what it’s like having a toilet so close to your cooking and sleeping space. ‘Smelly’ springs to mind. Good for emergencies but not for regular use. How is it IRL?
Loving the vids! I was wondering if the full length front panel will get in the way of your legs when you lift the actual loo lid? I have seen other toilet boxes where the top lid has a lip at the front to compensate.
I can't get enough of these videos, you should be really proud of what you have achieved so far well done Shaun. 😀
Thanks Stewart

Yea I might still do that as I think the ply will rub up against my legs
@@LoveSundays Plus by doing that and removing it prior to standing use, if your aim is off you won't destroy the ply... 😂
I would have said " more ball room " 🤣🤣@ 4:30 , this van conversion / build is a treat to watch I cant wait until its completed

Great video mate. Flat head screws are for aesthetic reasons. Pre drill and fix by hand, keeps them clean

Nice to see you using the pocket hole jig game changer when you come to make furniture
Yea it was easy to use

Good advice thank you
when you build the door to go in the garage you could put a pull out table from under the bed.
If you had the new, “in tank pump” fitted. The gauge sender unit is built into it….. it’s a faulty unit
Loving this van build Shaun, nice to see your eye has healed up after yr little accident lol. Looking forward to next weeks instalment.
Hi Shaun fresh back from 4 days in Cornwall 👍😎 cadgwith was gorgeous you lucky man
New wheels look awesome, love the vids keep them coming! 👍🏼👍🏼

Welcome to the channel Michael
Looking very smart.... wish I had the room to hide toilet ..plus I actually think the badge on front of the van looks nice
Yea I might keep it. It’s growing on me
@@LoveSundays might be a giveaway though on being stealth if locals know your channel?
PMSL a banging shit!!! Love these videos mate, any chance u could make them longer?
Cheers Chris
Your making it look easy with your positivity 😊

If you search IPs panel clips you’ll find that they work excellent maybe for future builds

Well done Shaun good design for the toilet and the panel by the bed. It's really taking shape now can't wait for the next episode.
Thanks Nigel
The plywood next to the toilet you could do some shelves. Within the plywood. If you know what I mean..Indents with in the plywood. Not sure how to explain it. I sm really enjoying your videos. They are great to watch xx
That’s a really good idea Kate. Somewhere to store toilet roll at least
Actually 😀 x
I think they do flat heads for a more traditional look! There a pain but do look better if you’re going to see them 👍
I think you’re right
Reason for slot screws is if u making fine furniture, the decorative more apealing to the eye.
I think you’re right
@@LoveSundays I'm a woman we are always right and even if we are wrong, we are still right lol
The sound of the toilet sloshing was a particular highlight! 🤢 Love your videos and your projects Shaun. 👍
Your keeping me away from my fishing sessions again. This is going against the grain my friend.
Great vids mate. Really enjoying this series.
Well that's a nice thumbnail to be confronted with as I sit down for Sunday breakfast...cheers for that

Were you not tempted to build a small shower/toilet 'room'? It would take space, but surely would be much, much nicer.

Have you thought about a pull out table above the door to the garage.
Yes I’m putting a table exactly there I will router out the opening for it when I install it

That random plane going across the screen at 5:00 must mean something 🤔
😂
Have you tested sitting on the loo with the top up?
Yes it all works well but I may but a little grove out for my legs
Why do we even have cross-head screws when there is hex and torx?
Great point
Looks good. Just wondering why you used hooks rather that a bolt lock?
I chose them to keep it nice and square but if it doesn’t do the job I’ll change it
Flat head screws are only there to hurt our fingers 😂😂
