I loved this video, thank you so much, it is just what I was looking for! I am having a hard time finding people online that used aluminum profiles for theur stud work so I was very happy to see you also have aluminum on the walls and floor! I have one question though: do you find that the aluminum used in direct contact to the van's metal overheats or compromises the van insulation in any way? And if so, how do you combat this? Thank you in advance!
Thanks for the video. Appreciated the content. Just thought that it could be like 4" more on the width so it would be easier to take a shower - but I'm just a keyboard warrior trying ti build my van. Again, thanks for the content!
Another reason to have a wet bath in a van is for car insurance purposes. It's extremely cheaper to insure a van as an RV than as a commercial vehicle, and the only way car insurance companies will do that is if the commercial van has a shower with running water.
Thanks for the video. Great ideas. I have found a guy to fold up a similar base here in Australia so am trying to basically replicate what you have done here. A couple of questions though. Are your bottom extrusions secured directly to the van floor? Catching glimpses, it appears to be on top of installed flooring which I can't work out why. I thought you would get more height going securing directly onto the floor and packing out to support the shower base. Also, how have you attached the bottom extrusions to the floor? Have you used rivnuts or plusnuts here as well as the roof? Finally, what holds the base in place? Is it simply the frame around it and or the extrusions bolting down through that front channel? Apologies for all the questions and I know I will have more.
This is an educational video. I have been watching George on Humble Road and he builds the boxes or modules in one. I like your use of the furring pieces. Can you give me your opinion on using PVC board such as Azek for the backer instead of the plywood. Im guessing it might not make a good finish board. Maybe it could be sealed or painted. Also is 24x36 large enough to move around? I was thinking about having a shower deeper on one end and tapered down.
Hey Dustin, Custom shower pan cost $400. 8020 aluminum and hardware around $500. Then tile/wood around $400. So all said and done cost is around $1,300 in materials.

Very clear explanation! A great help to me!

@@chexvanz582 Thanks so much for your detailed response. Great video explanation and obviously van builds
Great video, well explained 👍
Seems to be insanely sturdy. I hope you don´t get in trouble with weight of the finished van.

Great video. Are the shower pans available online?
We had them custom built 😊
Solid design. What is the total cost of materials for a shower like this?
Hey Dustin,
Custom shower pan cost $400. 8020 aluminum and hardware around $500. Then tile/wood around $400. So all said and done cost is around $1,300 in materials.
Do you guys sell the shower pan?
No, we had it custom made from a local metal company in Northern Virginia
