- In this van conversion video, I explain how to do a simple, easy and inexpensive exterior shower cabinet for a van conversion, a suv conversion or car camping.
My system is fully tested. I have been using it for several years.
Here are some interesting related video:

I really appreciate knowing from which state or country you have just watched my video. Please, leave me a comment about it.
Take note that I am not sponsored by anyone. You have my honest and raw opinion.
Synchronized captions are available in English and in French.
Thank you for your detailed description of your Van conversion. I am enthusiastic about it. I live in Germany and Most people do convert their van differently: a kitchen unit to one side and a box with hinged lid in the other. Additionally a box with hinged lid behind the Front seats. That means you will have a T-shaped aisle so that you can get in and Out through all rear doors, but you also lose a lot of space.
I life in Germany, I'm 71 years old converted my Citroen Berlingo XL all alone. I build a rock'n-roll foldable bed according to your instructions (90 x 185 cm, as I'm only 175 cm tall), a kitchen/cabinet unit at the legt side. In the legt rear window I fixed a luggage bag for lighter clothing ad socks, swimsuit etc. I also build a table which can be fixed inside at the cabinet and outside at the trunk door. A very clever solutions.
Meanwhile I tested my conversion two times by a road trip to France and Italy and I really love to travel with my mini camper van. Thanks again and all the best.
Thank you for sharing about Germany and about your project. 👍
You are going to have so much fun! Enjoy my friend! 😃✌️
with a rear lift door, on our van we simply clip the shower tent onto the underside of the rear door. we cut to top off an inexpensive stand up toilet/shower tent, and added 4 clips to attach to the door.
That’s a creative solution.✌️
Best conversion tips on CZcams. I bought a used suburban for this purpose and have been binge watching youtube about conversions. Your tips are Practical. Love the deconversion ability of your designs and thoughtful anchoring. Would love a video on storage and how you cook inside. Watching from frozen far northern Minnnesota.
You made my day! Thank you for your appreciation! Thank you for your video suggestion 👍😃
Well this works, and it is a lightweight easy solution. Nice!
Add 1-2 IKEA deck tiles (wood or plastic) under your feet for a dry surface.
Harbor Freight has a sturdy magnet paper towel holder which would work well to hang your towel on the car, and your clothes.
I would use a small plastic tub to stand in if water run off is too noticeable. Trees need water.
I'm in Santa Clara, California. I'd love to know where that last canyon shot was taken. Looks like Utah. Lovely trail!
Thank you for sharing this is most useful for showering as well as a useful changing area as it's hard to put on Regalia as I am a native dancer and go to pow wow thank you again safe journey
Thank you for your feedback and comment 😃✌️
FYI i researched alot of diy you tubes YOURS IS THE BEST, cheapest and looks stealth classy! also safest. THANK YOU (i got your name from a utuber that gave you credit for inspiring him on your great layout , THANKYOU!!! form malibu California
Thank you for your feedback. I am glad that you appreciate👍😃
Thank you from N.B. Canada
Nice province! Thanks Christian ✌️
Hi Eric, Love your Video's, watched most 2 or 3 times. I have yet seen your kitchen setup, or you cooking in it. Love to see what you are doing. Also, would like to see omre on you electrical system and what you are using on it.
Thank you Frank for the video suggestions! Next one will be about the electric system ✌️
Greetings from Texas, USA.
Thank you my friend ✌️😃
That's a great und cheap shower, thank you for showing.
I like these modern high pop-up-tents. They're not much more expensive than your shower-cabinet, but they're build up very fast, and there's no need to take the shower directly beneeth your car, and you can use it for your toilett, too. And with the zipper-door there's no risk of opening by the wind. The only real downside is the package: One more peace of kit in the car with about 60cm (but relatively flat).
Storage space is major for me. Especially for something used a few minutes per day.
Those pop-up-tents also take times to dry. Very much faster to dry a curtain with a small towel, and the day it does not look to well, they cost less than 5$ at dollar stores.
I will never use one of those pop-up.✌️
@@ericenjoysearth2756 Goog argument, and for your information: I don't live in my van, I use it in camping-mode only for "long weekends" or for up to a week at a time. So of course our needs are a little bit different from each other.
I am eagerly awaiting your video on your electrical system. Looking forward to it.
Thank you Sarah for your video suggestion. I will definitely do a video series about it 👍
Brilliant and ingenious! The best thing about this is that it is very compact & lightweight, unlike all the other options I have seen.
I agree, being able to wash yourself properly is really important when you are camping or travelling, and here in Australia we don't have gym chains where one membership can be used around the country. I can manage happily with a bucket bath, but especially as a woman, privacy can be an ongoing issue.
Thank you for sharing!
I really appreciate your comment and your opinion. I completely agree! For the gym, they are really not where you want them… A shower is definitely a must! Thank you Mara 😃✌️
Georgia in the southeast US. You have the most practical videos out there. Keep making more!
I am glad of your comment! Thank you ✌️😃
Thank you! From central part of Texas. Things i may try--Magnetic hooks from Harbor Freight instead of suction cups. Reinforcing the edge where that hook goes through to hold the shower curtain side with Gorilla tape (extra strong brown duct tape)
XL Binder clips from office supply vs chip clips. Rubber floor mat from van to reduce muddy feet? Idk. Maybe a designated shower mat one. Another idea is drill small holes in a gallon water jug lid and use as a shower.
Thanks for sharing your great ideas!
Hello!
Thank you for sharing suggestions. What I would avoid is metallic things to avoid scratching the paint, magnets on the paint may be hazardous for the same reason...
The use of flip flop 🩴 may avoid having to dry, clean and store a carpet…
Thank you for your appreciation ✌️😃
New Zealand here Eric. I'd like a video on what you do on a standard day
Thank you buddy from NZ. 🇳🇿 is so cool👍😃

Salut Éric…. Un autre super bon vidéo….Tu peux pas savoir Éric, comment je suis hâte de partir pour un mois en Floride en 2023. Si ça va bien, ça sera les hivers au complet à partir de 2024. Fini les petits semaines dans des motels dispendieux. À propos de la conversion de ma GC, la première réaction c’est ‘WOW’! Par la suite, je dirige ceux qui sont intéressé à toi sur CZcams. Déjà hâte au prochain vidéo Éric ….. Frank de la Rive-Sud.
Quel beau commentaire! Je suis content d’avoir participé à ce bonheur! Tu vas passer un très bon temps en Floride. Il y a tant à faire! Merci pour ton appréciation et ton partage! À+ Frank 😃✌️
Nice video thanks! Since you ask for suggestions, I would like to see more videos with some of your favorite places to visit and where you found best to set up your camp.
Thank you for your feedback and for the video suggestion 👍
7:53 bonsoir Éric. J’ai regardé quelques-uns de tes YT et je les trouve tous très intéressants. Pour ma part, j’ai monté un Promaster 2500 avec douche et eau-chaude. En direct de Longueuil.
Merci pour le commentaire et félicitation pour ta van!✌️
Watching in Tampa Florida USA. You have, by far, the best van setup on any of my CZcams channels. Great job love it
You made my day Jessica! Thank you 😃✌️
Allô ! J'habite au Québec et je me prépare tranquillement à partir un peu partout en paddle board avec 3 petits chiens 😊 Le paddle et les chiens sont prêts, reste à changer me trouver un autre véhicule car la yaris...c'est petit un peu 😄 merci pour tes vidéos et j'espère que tu atteindras bientôt to objectif!
Merci Fannie! Tu vas avoir 3 p’tits marins qui vont voir bien du pays! 😉✌️
Hello Eric. I have watched every one of your videos and I’m currently converting my 2006 Toyota Sienna.
I am very grateful of all the work you put into the videos. You make it very easy and do things very well. Thank you from North Texas! 🙏
Thank you Micheal. I am very glade of your comment. Enjoy your project my friend 😃✌️
Arkansas....The Shower is a very good idea!
Thank you Angela! It is effectively very useful!✌️
Arkansas 👍
Thanks Eric! Always so helpful and kind. I just have to have a shower every day. It's non negotiable for me. 👍🏻 watching from southern Indiana.
I agree so much! So useful rather than just washing with washcloth! Not comparable! Thank you Janet for your feedback 😃✌️
Hello Eric, thanks for another of your video and this easy to follow DIY shower solution, I would only add a simple mat on the ground to keep your feet clean. I love the simplicity of your shower. All the very best, Peter (from France).
Yes or you can use flip flop 🩴 sandals (tongs)…
Thank you for your nice feedback Peter.
I am looking forward to go back to France 🇫🇷 !✌️
I've been waiting for this video!!!!

In Oregon, McKenzie River area. Building a small van to travel in. Right now, taking care of my wife with dementia. When she goes, I travel for a while.
All of your videos have been very helpful. Thanks Eric.
Thank you Mike. Courage in those hard times. I wish you the best travel ahead! ✌️
Best of luck to you both! 😎✌🏼
Merci Eric!! I've been watching vanlife/car camping videos for years, and your channel, which I've only just discovered, is an absolute revelation. Where have you been all my life?! Everything I'm interested in doing - everything that's important to me in a van/car camping set up.... you've figured out the most simple, straightforward, yet elegant and genius way to do it - and clearly and concisely explain exactly how to replicate it, and why it's the best solution. Amazing!!! This shower cabinet is the perfect example. Now to figure out how to do this without the crossbars, and come up with somewhere to hang the shower bag.... (I just have a regular car, but I want to replace with a minivan in the next few years, so keeping everything very simple/not wanting to invest too much time/money in the meantime). Thank you!!
You made my day Élyse! This is a very much appreciated comment. You have a nice project to enjoy planning and will enjoy travelling. Enjoy the whole project! Do not hesitate if you have questions! Thank you!!! 😃✌️
Greetings from Romania! Great Video , keep up the good work!

Thank you Eric!🇫🇷👍😃
🛰️👩🚀🚀🌌😎✌🏼
Subscribed. This is not even what I need but I’ve watched a couple of your videos now and the way you provide details and instruction is perfect. Can everyone make vanlife videos like you?! ❤
Thank you Nicki! You made my day!!! 😃✌️
Hello Eric. Watching from Roswell, NM, but live in Tucson, Az. I am a travel nurse. I think we are on parallel paths, we even look virtually identical! LOL Right now I have a new Ford F350 with a truck camper that I live while on assignment. The camper is set up so now I use my 2009 Kia Sedona minivan that I will be doing a conversion very similar to yours. You have many great ideas. I think I will remove the passenger seat because I do not have a passenger. I will then weld a bracket that bolts to the existing seat mount location and make some type of cabinet. I have an ARB cooler exactly like yours. It is 10 or 11 years old. Expensive but 100% worth it. After watching your videos I see you may like sailing. Last summer I bought a sailboat and went to Alaska on it solo. A few years before that I did a coast to coast bicycle trip. I will be doing a book on both adventures. Anyway, hope to one day meet up with you and swap stories. Take care. Matt
Effectively, we do enjoy the outdoors! Thank you for your comment Matt. Enjoy your new project of conversion 👍✌️
Another idea is to get 2 shower curtains and magnetic hooks. Wrap the shower curtains around the hatch back, hanging from the hooks which are stuck to the metal part of the hatchback. I’m not 100% sure it works yet 😄 but I just ordered the items and will give it a shot!
This method will requires some attention not to wet anything inside…
Plus, if you carry surfboards, or cannot open the hatch for other reasons, it is a problem…
Hope you will enjoy, if not try what I did ✌️
I would like to thank you for all of your amazing videos. I just got the wood to start my new build. You have made your build videos so well, I am confident that it will go well. I've watch so many videos none come close to yours.
Merci Éric

Thank you Rachel! Your comment made my day! Congratulation for your project! Enjoy the way! It is so cool to build something for fun! Enjoy my friend!✌️😃
Hi, Eric. Coming to you from North Carolina, USA. I'm about to purchase my van and so excited to build. This is a wonderful and simple shower. I love how your brain works!
Thank you Carolyn! This is an awesome comment. You will enjoy realizing your conversion. It is so fun working on something to have fun with it! Enjoy your project! 😃✌️
Love your simple, build yourself solutions.
Writing from North Carolina, USA
Thank you Robin! I love the outer banks! ✌️😃
i would use a more camouflaged color for the shower curtain as it is quite obviously a shower with the white opaque curtain... good info thanks
Good idea! 👍
Salut ! Je suis de Montréal but i lived in California for 12 years before and I lived in my minivan before as well ! I love road trip and “camping”. I traveled a lot and never thought of a shower that way ! nice ideas ! i wonder if strong magnets would work better to keep the shower curtains on the van (for when it’s windy for example). i’m having some other idea of how similar showers could work. Maybe a 3/4" irrigation tubing could serve as a curvy, half circle frame. it would maybe save time with the rope and with passing the shower curtain’s plastic rings through. the tubing could be shoved in 2 small pieces of wooden broom stick that could be permanently affixed to the roof rack. with 2 pins going across to hold the tubing in. anyways, i just discovered your channel and i’m enjoying it ! I like your practical and adventurous mind !!
Thanks Eric! Always a fan of your simple, cheap and innovative van conversion ideas. In my opinion no one does this as well as you and I've already put a few of your ideas into practice! Thankyou for sharing your wisdom and making our vanlives easier and more comfortable! Keep it up and hope you get to 100,000 subs soon! Watching from Australia!
Thank you Jahve. I really appreciate your comment. It is a good source of motivation to keep publishing! So cool to share with people so far away! 🇦🇺 is on my buck list! 😃✌️

Thanks India
Wow! Thank you Munish!✌️
Eric, thank you for sharing. I love your videos, I love your approach, minimalist, simple, economic and purposeful. I can see through the approximately 12 videos I have seen your wealth of experience.. I have watched many van conversion videos, yours is the first ones I’ve seen that I feel excited about. I’m at uni now, but looking forward to beginning my first van conversion with your videos. Thank you for all you have shared and I wish you all the best in all your endeavours
Thank you Aaron for you appreciation and feedback. I really appreciate. Keep watching videos. It is part of learning and planning what you want. Enjoy your project my friend 😃✌️
Hi Eric, I've appreciated your videos so much as we start our van conversion. We're going to go on a long trip to the Pacific Northwest soon and you've already helped us so much! I hope you're doing well.
Thank you Heidi! This kind of comments are a motivation source to keep publishing! I am glade to be useful in your project 👍😃
Hello from Indiana, in the USA! I have been waiting for this video to come out for a long time after seeing your video on how to build the solar shower. It's much more simple than I imagined! Thank you you for putting this together, I have been using a lot of your designs in my simple van build that I use for road trips! I would love to see a video about some of your trips and to hear some of your stories!

Thank you Dan for your feedback, your appreciation and your video suggestions. I like them!👍
Bonjour Eric
We are on the West Coast, Vancouver Island. Have been camping for many years: truck, van, motorhome homes and now back to a mini van. Love your videos and your advice is excellent. We're retired (for many years) and not planning on verturing far from home anymore, hence the mini van. We about to test our new build and will see if it can even come close to yours. Many thanks for the terrific videos! Neil
Thanks Eric, so practical and affordable. I'm watching your videos from Alaska.
Alaska! Wow!
Thank you Rowan! 👍
Thanks eric, i have made a similar bed for my dodge caravan, not as nice as your but it does the job. Thanks for you video.
Thanks for another great video, I really look forward to these! For me I especially like the van conversion and van life tip videos. I live in our eastern most province, will never get bored exploring even just our island :)
Newfoundland! That’s one of my upcoming destinations!
Thank you for your video suggestions and for your appreciation! You live in an amazing place Karen! 😃✌️
Hi. Instead of clips and string for the scurtain against the van... use magnets.😊
Won't there be a chance of scratches on the car? I wouldn't risk it. But we're all different and for some it probably won't matter.
Southern Alberta here.👍😎🇨🇦

I am still follow your videos. Simple and usefull. Many thanks.
Thank you Atila! I am glade to have news of long time followers! 😃✌️
Excellent vidéo that shows all the different places one can take à shower discretely and respectful of others. Do you use biodigradable soap? Thanks for the video.
Yes naturally biodegradable!!
Thank you for your feedback!😃✌️
Great video, Eric! All your videos gave me a lot of inspiration and confidence to DIY my van build. Could you do a video around your electric system, how you use AC power and things like this?
Thank you Eduardo for your appreciation and for your video suggestion. I will do a video series about this subject ✌️
Your videos are a TREASURE trove
Thank you! You made my day! 😃✌️
Thank you , great video Eric, I enjoy all your videos. I really liked your van build videos. I also enjoy watching van life tips . Thank you for sharing your knowledge. 😊
Thank you for your feedback. It is much appreciated 👍
I have really enjoyed watching some of your videos,as I am purchasing a Toyota Sienna tomorrow for camper and van conversion and possibly van life in time. I only have 2 objections and/or questions here... It seems that it would be easier to just shower around behind the van and attach the curtain to the rear door once it is raised. It would be even less intrusive and less maintenance.As well,buying one of those large plastic tote boxes from Wal Mart or Lowe's could serve as your bathing area within the van,just need a curtain that goes all the way around you when showering/bathing;this would also be preferable in cold weather,obviously. I plan on putting this in the rear of the van I am buying...On the bed...Why not just a roll up bed? Seems some memory foam on the floor would be comfortable enough,along w some of that padded flooring you see in kids playrooms and some gyms - which I plan to use in the van I will be purchasing....Your vids have given me much insight into what I do and don't want to do,so thank you. Showing me that there is already insulation in the floors in another vid is golden to me. You save a lot of ppl a lot of trouble,so thank you.
Super simple. Merci pour tes idées! - Longueuil by the beach, Québec. 😂

Great ideas, Eric. (I am from Ohio). I just travelled south down to Gulf & besides a shower, I would have loved warmth! I will look back at your previous videos, ..what is your advice for heat in the van? I do love the travel videos too.

Très intéressant et ingénieux, merci Éric !
Merci beaucoup Robert! 😃✌️
Thanks Eric that's a great solution, simple lightweight and works well. I have a hitop Hiace campervan, so no roofrack possible. I think I'll design something similar to hang under the rear liftup door. Would need four sides to keep my bed dry. Bit longer shower curtains as I like privacy. I've for years just used a bucket with a cup to shower, works well and doesn't use much water. Now looking at simple showers.
Where were you filming? That's a very beautiful area. I'm in Qld Australia.
You will not regret having such a cabinet set up 👍
There’s video clips from Canada and USA in the video. From the East as from the West. You are certainly meaning the on in a canyon. It is in Colorado. You may also mean the other on from beautiful Zion, which is a National Park without showers.
Thank you for your appreciation comment. It is much appreciated 😃
Love Australia ✌️
Hello from the mid-atlantic! Your videos continue to be an inspiration. I truly enjoy how you present the material in such a way that it shows the reality of van-life. The attention to detail on showing all the steps and the way you show them are inspired. I feel as though you left nothing out and yet you didn't dwell. Your tips and tricks are truly a service. Thanks for yet another indispensable bit of knowledge. And absolutely gorgeous footage of Utah!!! And was that Colorado and Wyoming as well?
One question I always struggle with is how do you do time management? I'm curious both from a day-to-day perspective, and from a longer term perspective. How do you balance travel vs seeing/enjoying. How long are you in the van vs at a home base? How do you balance the daily eat/sleep/hygine routine with going on adventures?
Thank you for your feedback and appreciation. It is much appreciated.
You know your states there is effectively footage from those three states.
Thank you also for your video suggestions. I am keeping them for future videos 👍
bonjour Eric , vous êtes juste génial , je découvre votre chaîne, et je vous remercie pour tous vos bons conseils et vos tutos , il y a juste une chose que je n'ai pas trouvée : comment cuisinez vous à l'intèrieur de votre véhicule ? je sais que vous déconseillez toute bonbonne de gaz, mais alors vous faites comment ? vous mangez uniquement froid ? je compte prochainement revendre on camping -car et aménager un véhicule, et je vais m'inspirer de vos idées de génie merci beaucoup 😉👍
Merci pour le commentaire, il est très apprécié!
J’évite de transporter des cartouches de gaz à l’intérieur. Je les range à l’extérieur dans la boîte de toit. Clairement le propane est à proscrire à l’intérieur. Oui je cuisine à l’intérieur. Je vais faire une vidéo sur le sujet…
À+ ✌️
@@ericenjoysearth2756 merci beaucoup Eric pour votre réponse, ah super une vidéo sur comment vous cuisinez à l'intèrieur, j'ai hâte , tous les endroits où j'allais jusque là avec mon camping- car sont maintenant fermés par des barrières de hauteurs , ras le bol, je ne veux pas aller dans les camping, mais je ne peux pas renoncer à la vadrouille, alors je vais opter pour un véhicule , j'aimerais connaître les dimensions de votre petit meuble avec l'évier svp ? dites moi, d'où vient votre accent ? 😉
Merci, from Alberta. And the question on everyone's mind...who is the lady you' re travelling with?
It’s a pleasure Peter!
That’s my girlfriend! 😃✌️
I love your videos Eric. I recently purchased a used Toyota Sienna and plan to outfit it similarly using your videos for inspiration. I'm curious about the cross-bars on your factory roof rack? Did you make them DIY? or did you buy them somewhere? Thanks so much!
Congratulation for your purchase! I bought those bars as is from Thule.
Enjoy your project Michael! 😃✌️
Great video. So simple, inexpensive, and effective. Innovative. Love the use of clips and duct tape. Do you use 1 or 2 shower curtains? You said 1 but it looks like 2 ... Gary from Ontario
Thank you Gary! I really appreciate your comment.
One set of shower curtains (so two pieces).
✌️
Nice video, as always. Curious why you use a boot lace rather than the metal that came from the screen frame. If just random metal I could see that but the frame had plastic corners and is easily reassembled.
Simplicity. A knot will not unplug. Thank you Terry for your appreciation 😃✌️
Simple but effective
Effectively! That’s the way we like it👍
Please show us how you built your sink cabinet
Good video suggestion! Thank you 👍
If the roofrack bars are hollow, you can insert the shower rails into them?
My van is almost finished, I will send you pictures early summer this year! Greetings from Belgium
It is a solution. The only problem with hollow bars is inside corrosion. It is quite surprising how it end up at the surface of the bars (deformation of the surface)…
Congratulation for your project! ✌️
That’s a great set up! Have you considered using a draining mat on the ground for a better surface to stand on?
Inexpensive rubber sandals are something that almost everyone carries in their van, while a drain mat would be an additional item taking up unnecessary space.
I agree with Johnny👍
Hi Eric, great video. My wife and I have toyed with a few shower setups over the years but yours is quite a bit simpler which appeals to me. How do you store the shower when you're not using it? Watching from Pacifica, CA
I always keep it on the roof, even in winter. ✌️

Thanks Matt👍
Hi Eric i love your content!! I watch from Germany Cologne😀, what is it for a car? Toyota is it a nemo? I want tio bye a car and of the year, your bed is very very goid Idea🥰
It’s a Toyota Sienna. Thank you for your appreciation. Enjoy planning your project !✌️
Thanks Eric! Inspired by you, Im currently working on a dodge grand caravan and when done it will look suspiciously similar to your sienna setup :) I work full time and have 4 weeks of vacation. I'll start by traveling with my wife for long weekends+a day off or two. And maybe 1-2 weekly trips a year and will see where this will get us from there :)
--- What specific water pump did you install? Amazon offers tons with various PSI settings and mixed reviews, I'm not sure what to order.
-- How thick is plywood used for cabinetry? 5/8, same as subfloor?
from Toronto, Ontario
Simple, effective and inexpensive...but, why would you not choose to use what you already have in the way of the rear hatch door for top support? You should be able to easily affix connection points on the door and frame for the curtain, and while it may be height limiting, it minimizes additional equipment that you need to carry.
I want to keep everything dry inside the van…✌️
@@ericenjoysearth2756 Definitely. I envisioned a full 3 degree enclosure that contains all of the water with something like a magnetic seam access door.
Thanks for sharing all of your ideas.
Be safe out there.
I was wondering what you do for a toilet during the night? As a 56 year old female, I often need a toilet at least once during the night.
