    I'm always doodling designs for tiny houses and van builds and I did something very similar to this for the shower because I do think that we need showers but they're wasted space most of the time. I also did one where the toilet is in the shower but you can pushit through a hole underneath a bench with a plastic flap that covers the hole during a shower. The drawer that's inside the bench pulls out to make space for the toilet to roll into it.

    • @brianmi40
      @brianmi40 Před rokem +20

      As a male, I traveled 6 months in my van and only dug a cathole once, so I view toilets only for chosen convenience for a man, woman or couple, with the tradeoff of dealing with emptying it regularly unless one of the expensive ones is used that bag and seal each use for disposal. Traveling alone, I'd go with a seat that raises to reveal, or swaps out to a toilet seat shape and you just insert a double layer bag, like a kitchen size. Urine in a bottle, solids in the bag, simply roll up and store it in an airtight box like a plastic ammo box from harbor freight (oddly and appropriately then named) and dispose in the next trash stop.
      But the average person might be amazed how you can schedule your bathroom time and avoid the need for a bathroom suddenly within 20 feet because you waited for the call of nature to kick in instead of being proactive.
      Somehow people can manage putting food in on a schedule every day when working during their lunch hour, but can't manage to schedule it coming out.
      But the ultimate design for a shower is what I'm building. A 6 inch tall shower pan that pivots out from under seating (or cabinets, per design) rotating on the steel drain pipe, and hanging a shower curtain from concealed mounts recessed in the ceiling. Then the shower head pulls out from an overhead cabinet where plumbing in the wall brings up the pressurized water. Minimal cost, build, weight, and space used.

    I was thinking about putting in a removable rod that I could hang outside of the shower area til dry. Maybe extendable on a pivot hinge.
    With this closet space, it would have to be water resistant on the back to keep clothes dry and, approximately, a 2 inch gap between carcasses with a vent/window and drain. Even better if you give it a quick squeegee once showered.

    Took the whole video to get to the lede but that's exactly what I had in mind to save space but still have a fixed shower should I ever decide to try living in a van, and there's absolutely no way I'd live in a van without a shower (and toilet).
    I'm curious, how do you dry it off before swinging the closet back in so that mold doesn't develop and it doesn't smell musty? Is there a fan in there or do you just wipe it down and let it air dry?

    i'm very picky when it comes to sampling ideas on stacked functions in designs based on other people's builds, but this one probably deserves an award for how it utilizes limited space in a way that doesn't disrupt the flow of how that space needs to be used in an entire routine. i'm definitely referencing the shower here.

    I really wanted a van but the prices have shot up out of reach. Then there's the expense of kitting it out and finding someone to help me, I'm an older lady. I settled for a 23ft older class c for the same price as a good van alone. Now I have everything I need and I can redo things as I am able. Sometimes you just have to be happy with what is within your reach. The van being shown is lovely! ❤

    What people have to learn when taking a shower is to use the on/off method. Get wet, water off, soap up, water on. The tankless water heater is the blessing here, a necessity and just works for boats, van conversions and even cabins.

    • @tinydancer7426
      @tinydancer7426 Před měsícem

      That method is also referred to as a "boat shower", cuz when you are on a boat, there is limited space in the black water tank and it is a pain to have to keep leaving the dock to go to the dump station and then redock your boat.

  • @fleebee3639
    @fleebee3639 Před rokem +3

    You stole my idea for the shower. I've been looking at building an enclosed utility trailer to live in full time. I was gonna do the same thing with a swing out closet opening to a step in shower.
    My closet would be 4 sided. The hinged side would have 2 right angles. Then on the opposite side there would be a less than 90゚ angle at the front and a more than 90゚ angle at the rear. That would be needed for clearance at the rear of the close and when it's swung out. Being 4 sided will give a little bit more storage room than curved like yours.
    My closet wouldn't go quite to the bottom of the shower because I wouldn't have a porta potty sitting on the shower floor. I am also going to have a cubby on the back side of the closet for a couple rolls of toilet paper.

    Good use of space, but I forsee a mold issue if you try to collapse the closet back into the shower without a LONG drying time or exhaustive hand drying

    Have you done or considered a full length video on this design. I think it would very helpful to those of us who are interested in designing our own van. Thank you

    Similar idea to my 'off-the-shelf' Rapido V55 / Dreamer D55. My next van will be a self-build and I'll likely incorporate the same. Yours is better executed than mine!

    The restroom sign is a cute idea.
