      because most van dont install shower in there, they use outdoor shower or go to the gym

  • @eclecticapoetica
    @eclecticapoetica ปีที่แล้ว +44

    The concealed closet / bathroom is a game changer, I was thinking along these lines but was considering a slide out , the swing out version is just as simple and keeps the passageway clear. It will work well with my design which is a full bathroom across the width of the van, shower one side and toilet the other side with two doors that pull across the passageway to make it one enclosure - the same swing out closet idea could be incorporated on both sides.

    • @Journey_Around
      @Journey_Around ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I am also wondering if a slide out wouldn’t work really well. Of course, the layout would need to be a little different and it might be able to slide out over open counter space or over a seating area. I’m not sure how to the sliding tracks though… still some problems that need some more thinking.

    I'm a Dad and I came up with the same idea for a van conversion for my daughter, lol. I figured the shower space was not in use 99% of the time so you can use slide-out shelves to utilize that space. Your Dad's implementation is really well done and shows his craftsmanship.
    FOr those that already have builds done or who don't have the skill to build the cabinet, you can simply put a closet rod across the top of the shower and lift the whole rod and transfer it to a rod holder in the hall or behind driver's seat when you want to shower or use the toilet. That at least transforms your shower into a hanging locker and requires no building other than installing some screw in rod holders and cutting a rod to length. You can put a screw in each end of the rod so you won't easily dump your clothes while moving it (hangers won't slide off if you accidentally tilt the rod a little)
