Hi folks! A few questions have been asked about the mattress and we are happy to answer. The mattress wasn't included in the video so we could highlight the woodworking but it is a very practical design none the less. It (the mattress) is sectioned into three pieces that fold together against the wall where the tub is. While the "hangout" area is deployed the mattress is a seat cushion and back support but when you change the setup into a bed, the mattress folds out to cover the whole bed area. Bedding is stored in the compartment to the right of the galley cabinet and can be accessed from a top or side door. To take a tub simply move the mattress to the other side of the "hangout" area and dive in ;). Hope this helps!
Personally I don't see the point with a tub in a van but I really like how it's been integrated in to the build. The craftmanship and build quality in this van looks amazing.
Hoorah.....finally someone who realizes that taking care of your own personal needs rates at the top! I can't believe how many people fix up these expensive vans with no toilet or bath.....even though there is really enough for both! Money is spent on everything but, like fancy tile, fancy floor.......etc.....but not the things that are the most important. So again.....thank you for showing how important and easy it is! Your van is wonderful, and hope your travels are exciting and safe.
I’m here for the tub. Imagine taking your tub wherever you go. When aches & pains set in, stress, or stuck in traffic? Voila there’s your tub waiting. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
YES! A tub. I always thought bathrooms were more important than kitchens (which can be set up outside, unlike bathing). That has been a big hang up for me.
Lots of van conversions have dedicated showers or an outside shower at least. I give these guys credit for finding a way to fulfill the client's requirements, but a tub is really extremely impractical. It probably takes 30+ gallons of water to fill that thing up enough and then you just end up dumping all of that water. The energy to heat the water is wasted too. It's a feature that in most cases would only be useful while on the grid which makes it an odd choice of priorities for a 4x4 camper. Still, kudos to the builders for making it happen.
You can sit in that tub and shower quite easy, with out being all cramped up in a tiny shower stall. filling the tub could be a rare indulgence, but something that could never happen in a stall
Soaking tub is a game changer but in my opinion is a waist of space and a waist of water. Now It needs a trailer to haul the toys and extra water. I can appreciate the full water closet. Nicely done.
Eccentric? How great is it to be able to bath in your van when you're all sweaty or covered in mud?! ;D If I too had 150K+ budget for a van I would definitely go for this!! Perfect build.
@@jas_bataille I think he meant that the demands made were seemingly ridiculous and impossible--yet campo vans managed to make it, hence his decision to commit to using their services in the future.
I've had a plan for a Japanese soaking tub since I decided to do this. I really need it for my medical problems. I'm planning on building in a short bus. My design is a bit different than this one
@@cottagegymfun I'm thinking of recycling the water like a public Jacuzzi. You would want to shower before getting in the bath, then use a UV light for the water tank, and I'm going to use a submersible aquarium filtration system too so the water is filtered twice. I'd keep water testing strips around, could also add a little chlorine.
This is absolutely brilliant. I wish major manufacturers would start thinking outside the box. You see some creative use of space in Europe but in N America, nothing. Love this custom build.
A tub in a van? That's the first I've seen. Cool. I've seen lots of Van's and yours is one of the best looking. I'm sure it's in the $150k price range.
Mixflip Why ... ? Definitely not 100 K of parts / materials and labour surely even accounting for the cost of the 4x4 Sprinter. It's only a plastic tub and bamboo. It's not rocket science or a boat builders level of craftsmanship.
I love how people comment asking why this, why that...It was the preference of the person requesting the build. Everything isn't for everybody. If you don't want a tub, don't have one put in your build. The question as to the cost of it, not everyone wants to be stationary in their living quarters. People do as they see fit to do with their money. If you like the build, say so, if not, don't. It's just that simple. I really love the build. Thanks for sharing.
Amazingly enough, it wasn't the tub that hit me (probably because I'm not going to put mine mine but the fact that you did it remains fantastic); it was the cubbies in the steps. Cubbies. In the STEPS. This is going to solve a few problems in my design. Thank you for sharing🤩
Absolutely beautiful build, work of art for sure! I think a lot of folks in the comments forget that this is custom build for a single customer's taste, not a build for EVERYONE to enjoy. I maybe wrong but this van is meant to show what Campo Vans is capable of building, if you can dream it, they can build it essentially. I appreciate the attention to detail, next level stuff. Bravo!
Nitram Midnite exactly, you nailed it. We got some people bitching about pointless shit then going “Not for me.” It’s like, okay? It’s a custom build for a particular customer. Why would anyone suppose it would be perfectly suited to their own tastes.
I thought it ingenious build. If i had enough money I would certainly have you guys build for me. I loved the tub and the fridge/ freezer most of all. Thanks for sharing with us. Keep up the good work!
That green is gorgeous. I’d personally choose a more feminine colour for myself, but I can certainly appreciate how stunning this green looks. Very cool, guys
I love the tub! They are making them all 6 ft showers nowadays and I hate taking shower and if your older its harder to just stand and have no where to sit.The old campers all has bathtubs, but I guess it's that "green" stuff but I hate showers and finally I just live that really cool tub in a strange place...and a different BRAND refrigerator, dometic and Norcold..first time I have seen that..You guys did a good job! Thanks for video!
I think it's pretty damn 😎!I would utilize the tub for all the stuff that would be going outdoors, when I set up camp...I LOVE my epsom salt baths and little rubber duckies still make me giggle. When my daughter became a tween and all growed up-like, I kept feeling like something was missing until I saw and bought a rubber ducky and put it back in there... Lol! The missing link! IF I ever was able to do something like this, I would HAVE to have the window lowered, so I could look out and likely photograph the scenery from that vantage point,"The Duck visits..."is still a fun fantasy for this aging, Humpty Dumpty of sorts, free spirited,adventurer of a woman! Great build I LOVE the light color of the bambo! GREAT JOB and HAPPY TRAVELING in our minds and for "really real"! I hope to , too-soon enough!
I love this van! I'd just go for a wet bath and skip the tub, but everything else is excellent, right up my alley. I love the fact that the heating, cooking and hot water are all diesel powered, allowing for very low electricity draw. Add in 4WD and this thing is perfectly suited for off grid use. Well done.
You guys do top work, but what impresses me the most is how you bring your clients vision to life even when it is difficult to accomplish. I don't think I have seen another custom builder, build so many different, unique layouts.
Best campervan build I have yet to see!! All things that should be common sense to others yet nobody else has done them! I always said if I was to build a van myself I would simply have a bathtub under the seating area!! Not that complex!!
Okay at first I didn't like the idea of the tub but after watching the whole video I got to say that is the best van build I've ever seen absolutely beautiful and I'm sure cost a pretty penny
The customer IS always right- you made what he wanted, nice job. Not for me, but I will be talking to you soon about some removable cabinets to get our pots/pans out of those dang rubbermaid containers & kail can weld the framework!
I live down the block from your shop. Love the work you guys have done, I'm always stoked and nosy when I see a rig outside. Keep up the great functional designs.
I'll take this, just use a longer van, keep the tub in place, have a separate built in bed (queen size) with additional clothing storage underneath (not affiliated with the current tub/seating section). That way - your honey could be soaking in the tub (or utilizing it as an indoor shower) while you are laying in bed
A follow up video to show how much the tub actually got used and what effect the moisture had on the van would be useful. Also is the owner happy with the split bed versus the one piece mattress that he could have had for all that cash ? Happy travels everyone. John
awesome job. regarding the tub, even in lot of new hotels you can't get a bath tub in most rooms. I always take a bath, since I have arthritis. When I am paying a lot of money for a hotel room, I insist they provide me a room with a bath tub, else I just tell them I am going to go to another hotel.
I thought about that concept, but didn't want to mention it. It's good to see how you've utilized every inch of that small space and provided the customer with all that they needed.
One of the best van builds I have ever seen. I have been dreaming of a combination work/live van, and I have a particular layout in mind, but do not have the skills/tools/expertise to build it myself. It's so good to see that there are some companies out there striving to fill that gap!
Where is the storage space? Bath or storage looks like an image van rather than a practical camper carry almost an expedition amount of water to have a bath, my VW Transporter has an outdoor shower at the tailgate oh I get it they store it all on the roof rack? A lot of visible fixings/screw heads ect
Wow amazing. I read your comments on the mattress and I understand about showing off the wood, I just really wish this video was a little longer to show off your creative on how you got that 4” pad in there as well and how nice that also looked. This van is amazing with everything in there and so much storage. I lived in Japan and this is very spot on. The guy can figure out a tent for a shower before his bath from here. Seeing how the Japanese will leave the water in the bath for days the 2 tanks of water and the tub filled is going too be a lot of water. You could fill up at the hot springs for a weekend and park outside of work for a week and never run out of spring water. Just put some fold out chairs and tents on the rooftop and you are living large with even a patio. (I know it was not requested by the costumer just if I was getting that van) Well anyway it’s all very well done and I see there is even just a little bit of storage by the doors when you open them in the back. I am not a big outdoor kind of guy but if I had this van I would go from hot springs to hot springs all around the world. I would be so clean. 😂 also to the beach. This van just screams “Get out there and do something, even if it’s just to watch a sunset.” Really great job guys. This is my first video I ever saw of yours and I love it so much. I am now a subscriber after just this video. I can’t wait to see more.
Hey, why not? People are willing to spend well over $100K (some of them cost over a million) for classic muscle cars, that only cost a few thousand dollars, when they first rolled off the mass production assembly lines over 50 years ago. And all you can do with those cars is drive them. You cant live, cook, take a bath, comfortably spend an entire day or sleep in them all night without waking up freezing cold with a stiff neck. Compared to practical commuter cars, these motorhomes are ridiculously overpriced, but compared to other luxury items like expensive cars and boats, they are cheaper and twice as practical. Imagine if the stock market crashed and you lost your job and your home value dropped like a rock and you were suddenly in an upside down mortgage and behind on your car and ski boat payments. This over priced toy could suddenly become your most practical possession for years to come.
Elon Musk still can't make a profit with Tesla. Jeff Bezos can't figure out how to spend his money and treat people well. And Mark Zuckerberg still isn't the most convincing human.
FINALLY a van with a REAL toilet and bathroom. As a girl that's the two things that were keeping me from crossing the line. It's awesome to see and KNOW that's possible and now I got a video reference to show everyone that calls me crazy or delusional when I tell them that's what I want. I'm def saving this company's info when I'm ready for reals. AWESOME!
When there’s a “kitchen” sink less than 4 feet away it’s pretty ridiculous wanting a sink in the bathroom as well. I’d love to know how they expect to have enough water for that tub in his van 🙄😒 Edit: all that said, you guys did a beautiful job for a really difficult client.
@@SS-bz4ze Not sure that is enough unless they are parked at campsites with full hookups. A normal tub (which this is not) holds around 80 gallons. I would assume this tub holds around 40-60 gallons. Although the idea is cool, seems kinda like a waste in a van to have a tub. but thats just my opinion and obviously the people got what they wanted.
@*Uptown* It's "pretty ridiculous" that HYGIENE is so LITTLE a PRIORITY that someone would look down on another person who DOESN'T want to wash their POOPY HANDS or to SPIT IN THEIR KITCHEN SINK where FOOD is prepared! So it being 4ft away is irrelevant.
You guys did a great job! Genius at work! A wonderfully disruptive design and execution. Echoing a couple of the other comments, would it be possible to give the price range to build this... could you show it with the mattress?... where would the owner store any clothes, I didn't see any clothing storage. I did notice caulking in the bathroom and I noticed so much wood around the tub, I'm not sure either will hold up with time and dampness. But I wish the owner many happy days and nights in this beautiful build.
That's what I thought.. a row of upper cabinets on the foot side of the bead... An poof... Clothes storage.... plus over the cab shelf... Jackets off season... Captians chairs with locking under drawers...
Excellent!!!! but show us this build with a mattress. I can't imagine where do you put the mattress while the tub is in use. Idea, why not have the bed descend from the ceiling or the mattress have a storage rack in the ceiling? Pls have a customer followup video showing us their van lifestyle after living in it for 3-6 months. Great job!!!!!!!
@@tippyellla I don't understand the thinking of some people. I just want a Air Head Toilet, Full Bed, RV Stove and sink, and possible shower, finally STORAGE OF ALL KINDS!!
MATTRESS EXPLANATION FOR THOSE WITH NO IMAGINATION They explained in comments that they filmed this before the mattresses were ready. The mattresses come in 4 pieces (like in most camper vans). Two for seats on the 2 sofa's and two as back rests for the 2 sofa's. Then all 4 mattresses slide down in place once the table has been lowered to form one mattress to sleep on. I swear I had to post this as I got sick of the stupid comments of "where do you store the mattress? - Duh! And also, when having a bath, you stack the 4 mattresses on the other sofa! Hope this stops the stupid posts from those who have no imagination or who have never seen a van life video before.
Wanted to see if this was possible for a superhero tabletop game. Bless your hearts, now The Moonlighters are rolling in style. Our sea-dwelling team mate doesn't have to worry about drying out on long trips now.
Cool design! however, I would not go with a tub and opt for more storage or a bigger toilet room with a shower. The tub seems impractical and a hassle, I can see the steam from the hot water making everything damp, especially the bedding unless it's stored in a compartment. Plus when you get out of the tub you would drip water everywhere (you said he was tall so it would be a pain drying yourself in the tub and having to slouch over and not be able to stand at full height). it would be a pain to mop up, especially when your tired and want to get into bed, which brings me to my next point of having to make the bed after the bath whilst still having condensation on the wood, which could cause mold to grow on the underside of the mattress if the wood is not dried properly. All I'm imagining is one damp, soggy mess every time you use the tub unless there is really good ventilation in the van to combat condensation build up. Please correct me if I'm wrong, or tell me the design solutions to solve these problems. Sorry for the long rant! just curious to see the actual practicality of having a tub in a van.
Wilburs Film I'm feelin you brother. My thoughts exactly. Probs gets the 'little woman' to wipe and clean up. Mouldy mattress is def a probability though as bed base/table top/ seating is solid with no venting for body moisture build up as it wicks through on the underside even WITHOUT the tub and concomitant added moisture issues. Yuk.
Liz Steeds , yep! Exactly, would not be fun. Would be curious to see the condition after months of use, would also like to know if the person who owns this van, if he has had the problems we have mentioned
@@wilbursfilm8858 Doubt if we will hear about it ... The site "Campo" seem reluctant to discuss price so I imagine we'll have a snowballs chance in hell of hearing about any design problems even via the owner who probably will keep private any concerns especially if he/ she has spent a shitload of dosh on designs he/she insisted on !
Looks great, wonder why they don't answer the "approximate" cost for a build like this as many have asked. Must be a lot of $$$$ only for the rich and famous ...I'm sure. It's really a simple question ...right Campo?
Different clients can afford different prices, so it is wise of them to only talk price with each individual client after finding out the maximum the client will pay for the same thing.
Hi folks! A few questions have been asked about the mattress and we are happy to answer. The mattress wasn't included in the video so we could highlight the woodworking but it is a very practical design none the less. It (the mattress) is sectioned into three pieces that fold together against the wall where the tub is. While the "hangout" area is deployed the mattress is a seat cushion and back support but when you change the setup into a bed, the mattress folds out to cover the whole bed area. Bedding is stored in the compartment to the right of the galley cabinet and can be accessed from a top or side door. To take a tub simply move the mattress to the other side of the "hangout" area and dive in ;). Hope this helps!
Must be a 2 inch pad......certainly not "comfortable"
@@tjn5845 Happy you asked! It is a 4 inch pad. Firm but a nice material
how much did the whole project cost? cost of van, materials, labor, ect?
@@CampoVans Nice solution, 4 inch works great from what I have read.
Please show us the dinette pads/mattress. Sounds very interesting, but hard to imagine.
Personally I don't see the point with a tub in a van but I really like how it's been integrated in to the build. The craftmanship and build quality in this van looks amazing.

The tub snd the refrigerator freezer is the selling point. Pure Heaven.
Thanks!
I have a 5 bedroom house with 2 bathtubs that have never ever been used and here I am thinking about how to put a bathtub into an RV.
Exactly... And this van cost more than many houses with bathtubs. Hard pass.
YES! A tub. I always thought bathrooms were more important than kitchens (which can be set up outside, unlike bathing). That has been a big hang up for me.
Same here! Seems like every other camper cares way more about food than hygiene.

Agreed first time I saw something like this
Never heard of a dry flush toilet or soaking tub in any of the many van videos. I’m sure your clients are thrilled. Great design.
I love the way the table just smoothly moves down.

they have 70 gallons water storage in the van, I'm sure they'll be just fine 🙄
Wow amazing. I read your comments on the mattress and I understand about showing off the wood, I just really wish this video was a little longer to show off your creative on how you got that 4” pad in there as well and how nice that also looked. This van is amazing with everything in there and so much storage. I lived in Japan and this is very spot on. The guy can figure out a tent for a shower before his bath from here.
Seeing how the Japanese will leave the water in the bath for days the 2 tanks of water and the tub filled is going too be a lot of water. You could fill up at the hot springs for a weekend and park outside of work for a week and never run out of spring water.
Just put some fold out chairs and tents on the rooftop and you are living large with even a patio. (I know it was not requested by the costumer just if I was getting that van)
Well anyway it’s all very well done and I see there is even just a little bit of storage by the doors when you open them in the back.
I am not a big outdoor kind of guy but if I had this van I would go from hot springs to hot springs all around the world. I would be so clean. 😂 also to the beach. This van just screams “Get out there and do something, even if it’s just to watch a sunset.”
Really great job guys.
This is my first video I ever saw of yours and I love it so much. I am now a subscriber after just this video. I can’t wait to see more.
wow this van is reaaly nice. love the tub, the matte green color and all that cubby space
I have learned thru 60 yrs., if you have to ask the price you can't afford.
You must write an awful lot of blank checks and trust them to put in the right numbers huh?
@@menotu000 No I deal with honest corporations that can compete with a good product and are not afraid to list their prices
Anything is possible if you have unlimited money to spend.

Word.
Hey, why not? People are willing to spend well over $100K (some of them cost over a million) for classic muscle cars, that only cost a few thousand dollars, when they first rolled off the mass production assembly lines over 50 years ago. And all you can do with those cars is drive them. You cant live, cook, take a bath, comfortably spend an entire day or sleep in them all night without waking up freezing cold with a stiff neck. Compared to practical commuter cars, these motorhomes are ridiculously overpriced, but compared to other luxury items like expensive cars and boats, they are cheaper and twice as practical. Imagine if the stock market crashed and you lost your job and your home value dropped like a rock and you were suddenly in an upside down mortgage and behind on your car and ski boat payments. This over priced toy could suddenly become your most practical possession for years to come.
Elon Musk still can't make a profit with Tesla. Jeff Bezos can't figure out how to spend his money and treat people well. And Mark Zuckerberg still isn't the most convincing human.
@@aaron___6014 All 3 are leftist Globalists who could care less about anyone else. Through the eye of a needle....
True
FINALLY a van with a REAL toilet and bathroom. As a girl that's the two things that were keeping me from crossing the line. It's awesome to see and KNOW that's possible and now I got a video reference to show everyone that calls me crazy or delusional when I tell them that's what I want. I'm def saving this company's info when I'm ready for reals. AWESOME!
I loveeeee that table and bed setup with the tub and the cabinet.
actually, love the soaker tub. You could put the shower head out the window for a better shower outside. :)
Great build.....but are you sleeping on the wood or you have a air mattress you pump up every night.
Mark Moffatt
My first thoughts also.
Where is the bedding stored. With all the comforts shown, I’m almost sure a sleeping bag is out of the question.🤣
Store of the bedding in the tub
He explains that up top.
I've seen some cool van homes but this is the most creative by far.
this converion's use of space is nothing short of genius
When there’s a “kitchen” sink less than 4 feet away it’s pretty ridiculous wanting a sink in the bathroom as well. I’d love to know how they expect to have enough water for that tub in his van 🙄😒
Edit: all that said, you guys did a beautiful job for a really difficult client.
It has seventy gallons..pretty even distribution 30 an 40... That's enough water... It explains it... You did not watch it first....
@@SS-bz4ze Not sure that is enough unless they are parked at campsites with full hookups. A normal tub (which this is not) holds around 80 gallons. I would assume this tub holds around 40-60 gallons. Although the idea is cool, seems kinda like a waste in a van to have a tub. but thats just my opinion and obviously the people got what they wanted.
@*Uptown* It's "pretty ridiculous" that HYGIENE is so LITTLE a PRIORITY that someone would look down on another person who DOESN'T want to wash their POOPY HANDS or to SPIT IN THEIR KITCHEN SINK where FOOD is prepared! So it being 4ft away is irrelevant.
@@estherstrategicadvisor749 some people just don't have house training..
@@estherstrategicadvisor749 had the same thought.
Love the color. How do you guys effectively insulate your camper vans and prevent mold?
This is the best van I've ever seen. Awesome.
I couldn't think of a place you could fit a tub in a van like that... That's excellent.
You guys did a great job! Genius at work! A wonderfully disruptive design and execution. Echoing a couple of the other comments, would it be possible to give the price range to build this... could you show it with the mattress?... where would the owner store any clothes, I didn't see any clothing storage. I did notice caulking in the bathroom and I noticed so much wood around the tub, I'm not sure either will hold up with time and dampness. But I wish the owner many happy days and nights in this beautiful build.
Absolutely amazing! The only thing I think was missing was storage space. Where would you put clothes?
That's what I thought.. a row of upper cabinets on the foot side of the bead... An poof... Clothes storage.... plus over the cab shelf... Jackets off season... Captians chairs with locking under drawers...
There's a small garage at the back @4:21
Love the full bathroom, and the tub is exquisite! An incredible design.
By far the best van build on youtube. 10/10
You guys had me with the table pushing down to make the bed. I really thought I had seen it ALL :O Ab-so-lu-te-ly brilliant design.
such a feature is well known since quiet a long time - at least here in Europe...
What ??! ... table top converting to bed base is RV/vanlife 101 and been around as a concept for donks. What rock have you been hiding under ?
Jas Bataille that idea has been around longer than me and I’m nearly 70! Check out vintage caravans / campers.
2:08 Ingenious build, but someone needs to learn how to silicone more neatly!
Andy : great point..!!! I built vimmmercial Restaurants or caulking was a mass… That sure was a crappy job caulking around the sink in the bathroom...
haha. I thought the same thing
Andy Sedgley first thing I noticed too. Unacceptable.
that is absolutely magnificent, WOW. YES that is a game changer.
Wow this is super professional and dare I say, luxurious van life.
Excellent!!!! but show us this build with a mattress. I can't imagine where do you put the mattress while the tub is in use. Idea, why not have the bed descend from the ceiling or the mattress have a storage rack in the ceiling? Pls have a customer followup video showing us their van lifestyle after living in it for 3-6 months. Great job!!!!!!!
I thought the same thing, where do they store all the bedding????
@@karenk7310 I agree- and where is all the toy storage? do they just take baths?
@@tippyellla I don't understand the thinking of some people. I just want a Air Head Toilet, Full Bed, RV Stove and sink, and possible shower, finally STORAGE OF ALL KINDS!!
I wondered about the mattress too. I think the tub is a waste of space.
@@jss27560 We responded about the mattress above. Have a great day!
Awesome build!
Beautiful build. Very coveted bath area units and the bamboo is perfect!
Oh dear.....that is a fabulous design! That tub makes it perfect!
Beautifu. It would be perfect, except for the lack of drawers and a closet Where are the owners suppose to keep their clothes?
Maybe put some storage drawers in the garage at the back @4:21
Awesome build! but where's the mattress? I'm not sleeping on the hard wood!
Thales Barbosa four cushions (backrest and seat cushion) on the benches that would be used as a thin mattress
Very intelligent design ! Best utilization of space
People commenting need to layoff color choices. It’s custom. The client chooses.
MATTRESS EXPLANATION FOR THOSE WITH NO IMAGINATION
They explained in comments that they filmed this before the mattresses were ready.
The mattresses come in 4 pieces (like in most camper vans).
Two for seats on the 2 sofa's and two as back rests for the 2 sofa's.
Then all 4 mattresses slide down in place once the table has been lowered to form one mattress to sleep on.
I swear I had to post this as I got sick of the stupid comments of "where do you store the mattress? - Duh!
And also, when having a bath, you stack the 4 mattresses on the other sofa!
Hope this stops the stupid posts from those who have no imagination or who have never seen a van life video before.
Lol. Bathtub inside. Shower outside. Cool!
Wanted to see if this was possible for a superhero tabletop game. Bless your hearts, now The Moonlighters are rolling in style. Our sea-dwelling team mate doesn't have to worry about drying out on long trips now.
I built my camper van for under 10k including the cost of the Chevy Express 3500 van. Beat that!
Cool design! however, I would not go with a tub and opt for more storage or a bigger toilet room with a shower. The tub seems impractical and a hassle, I can see the steam from the hot water making everything damp, especially the bedding unless it's stored in a compartment. Plus when you get out of the tub you would drip water everywhere (you said he was tall so it would be a pain drying yourself in the tub and having to slouch over and not be able to stand at full height). it would be a pain to mop up, especially when your tired and want to get into bed, which brings me to my next point of having to make the bed after the bath whilst still having condensation on the wood, which could cause mold to grow on the underside of the mattress if the wood is not dried properly. All I'm imagining is one damp, soggy mess every time you use the tub unless there is really good ventilation in the van to combat condensation build up. Please correct me if I'm wrong, or tell me the design solutions to solve these problems. Sorry for the long rant! just curious to see the actual practicality of having a tub in a van.
You can store stuff in the bathtub though.
I wouldn't opt for a tub, either, because I am a shower person. But, obviously. The person they buil t this for likes to take baths.
Wilburs Film I'm feelin you brother. My thoughts exactly. Probs gets the 'little woman' to wipe and clean up. Mouldy mattress is def a probability though as bed base/table top/ seating is solid with no venting for body moisture build up as it wicks through on the underside even WITHOUT the tub and concomitant added moisture issues. Yuk.
Liz Steeds , yep! Exactly, would not be fun. Would be curious to see the condition after months of use, would also like to know if the person who owns this van, if he has had the problems we have mentioned
@@wilbursfilm8858 Doubt if we will hear about it ... The site "Campo" seem reluctant to discuss price so I imagine we'll have a snowballs chance in hell of hearing about any design problems even via the owner who probably will keep private any concerns especially if he/ she has spent a shitload of dosh on designs he/she insisted on !
Love this. Add a Happijack for bed, and it's great!
YES!! My dream van, a Japanese soaking tub! What a clever design, brilliant job! Thanks for sharing!
Looks great, wonder why they don't answer the "approximate" cost for a build like this as many have asked. Must be a lot of $$$$ only for the rich and famous ...I'm sure. It's really a simple question ...right Campo?
They are in Santa Barbara, so yeah. Client is standing in line next to Oprah and Ellen Degeneres at the farmers market.
You know it's going to be pricey. You know you'll never be able to afford one, hence yr over the line envious sniping.
Different clients can afford different prices, so it is wise of them to only talk price with each individual client after finding out the maximum the client will pay for the same thing.
