Hi Alex, stumbled across your campervan build whilst searching for pocket jig joinery for cabinets, so glad I did, planning build myself March 23 this is an extensive research period and whilst I plan to convert boxer L3H2 your videos are great, lots of hints and tips, your explanations and attention to detail is awesome, presently bingeing 😉 Thank you so much for taking the time and effort with this series, looking forward to viewing the final build sometime next week.😂
Thank you very much! I do my best to explain why I do things in my build videos, not just do it it because if one else does. Hope you find it helpful and good luck on your build
HI ALEX I BOUGHT A L4 H3 JUMBO MK8 I LOVE YOUR SHOWER IDEA AND THE SIZE OF IT A LOT OF PEOPLE ALL BUILD A TINY SHOWER I WANT TO PUT A PORTALOO IN MINE SO I CANNOT DO THAT ARE THESE WATER RECYCLING SYSTEMS ANY GOOD THANKS JON
Hello, for me a large shower room was important for as it’s also a drying room and just get to have a large space. I personally am very happy with the with the recirculating shower
I got rid of a awful vw crafter bloody money pit i was planning on turning into a camper after it was paid off from work use but got rid of it for one of these mk8 transit and it's so much nicer to drive and look at so the plan is now to turn that into camper in a couple of years and vids is encouraging because you only find crafter, sprinter van builds 👍
One of the main reason I wanted to make the build series a I couldn’t really find any let alone any British ones. I first drove this model of transit for work and that’s why I discovered actually I really like them which is why I got one in the end
08:56 If you watch BOM (Bad Obsession Motorsport) and their rad Toyota GT4 running gear built into an original Mini, they call CAD ‘Cardboard Aided Design’.
Hi Alex, enjoying watching the van build, like the theory and explanations of the processes as you go along. is there going to be a vent or extractor fan going in the wetroom/shower room? i know what you mean by plans/layouts changing all the time, you have an idea in your mind how things will/should be but in practice when you actually see things in place plans change, I'm on my second build, done a lwb ducato with shower/wetroom set up first and everything takes 3 times longer than you thought originally. looking forward to the rest of the videos, stay safe and all the best
Thank you, glad you like the videos. Indeed there is a vent for the shower room, I currently have a flettner slimline installed venting the room. I’m going to have to makes bits & bobs / finishing touches shower room video. If you want to see it sooner and have Instagram feel from to message me on there and I can send you some images
Good choice on moving the shower. It did seem too big of a structure for the doorway. I am curious how you are going to provide access to the filters in that alcove?
Jeff Steinmetz yeah in the floor plan it seems like it would work but the card board mock up felt different. The Alcove ( larger wall opposite the door ) in the wall will remain open and part of the shower room, it’s not a closed cupboard, it will have a angled bottom so water can run off. The filters would be accessible from there. So any maintenance such as replacing them or cleaning means any water will just run off into the shower tray. It’s also added a little amount of extra space in the room ( which just might be Visual over practical ) . My filter cases are also clear so you will be able to see them in use and keep and eye on them. Ill show them in the next shower related video ( next two videos are electric related )
Could you give your measurements of the bathroom please? Sorry if you listed on your first shower video...I started with the 2nd and then this one and I’ll watch that next. Also to confirm, you have the high roof extended Transit? I’m in the US but I think they are similar dimensions. Great videos...I’m learning a lot, at least to convey to the mechanic/handyman that will do much of my build but I’ll tackle some especially after watching some great tutorials like yours!
Sure no problem the shower room is ( internally wall-to-wall 82cm/32.3in x 58.5cm/23in. Height wise at its tallest it’s 184cm/72.4in and lowest 170cm/66.9in. This is a L3H3 model, don’t know if you use the same naming conventions in the US for your transits. But the H3 is the tallest high top and L3 is the second from longest length.
Mispronounced Adventures Thank you so much for the reply! It’s a nice size shower room and I love the added shelf as well. I will consider the recirculating shower but I need to study it more. I look forward to more posts!

Cardboard Aided Desgin is always a quick and important step!
