    The wet area panel i used is called (High Pressure Melamine) - www.bunnings.com.au/wall-art-...
    I started off by using string line from side to side to build the front wall, which divides the front cab from the back living area. Once I completed this I had a reference to go off to construct all the shower walls. I used a shower base and built my walls around that, allowing enough space for the internal bathroom sheets.
    I used SikaFlex Pro as my adhesive to glue the wet area sheets to the timber framing, or marine ply. I also used Selleys Pro Wet Area silicone for all my edge seals. I chose 35mm x 70mm pine timber as it has a decent sized cavity for insulation + plumbing and electrical. Yes it is heavier than metal framing although I don’t think it adds too much weight given the amount I used.
    I chose 65mm batten screws because they countersink into timber easily and at this length i can screw into the subfloor without going through the van metal floor. The wet area panels are 3mm “High Pressure Melamine Boards”, which are made for wet areas and showers.
    They come in (1200mm x 2400mm) and (900mm x 1800mm) sheets, the larger sheet costs AUD$198 and the smaller AUD$139. I used 2 x large sheets and 2 x small sheets which increased the price quickly! I purchased them from Bunnings.
    I used 4mm bracing ply to use as templates as I would rather make a mistake on a sheet that costs $26 as opposed to $198.
    I don’t currently have an extraction fan installed in the shower although I will allow cables for this if I ever put one in later. I will be building the door in a future episode.

    You may have one of the most descriptive start to finish build series that I’ve seen to date! Great Build and Knowledge as well! Also your Finish game is on Point! #BigUp #Inspiring #Talented #Vanlyfe

      Thanks a lot Saul thats really nice mate, appreciate you taking the time to watch it means a lot, super stoked it was inspiring to you man!

  • @good4damoney
    @good4damoney 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Its been such a very long time since i actually watched an entire TH-cam clip from anyone. It was a pleasure learning something new .

    • @JaznLori
      @JaznLori  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks a lot I'm glad I could keep you engaged!

  • @tweetdezweet
    @tweetdezweet 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    thank you for sharing your work, it's refreshing to find a video that doesn't just skip over everything only showing a few screws being put in :)
    planning to build myself a van in a couple of years as well as a permanent home and a shower and toilet are must haves for what I have in mind so it's really nice to finally see someone building one and showing the details of the build :)

  • @marciabrainard8058
    @marciabrainard8058 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    How great was this build...hav watched a couple hundred for ideas but never actually shown how to do it , thanks so much,,this lady builder appreciates it emensley

  • @McRocket
    @McRocket 6 ปีที่แล้ว +292

    I LOVE that you are including a shower/toilet. I don't get why so many people are fine with travel vans without them. Sure, you can use gyms and such for toilet facilities/showers...but I would rather not have to.

    • @JaznLori
      @JaznLori  6 ปีที่แล้ว +37

      Yeah most don't have them, for me it was a necessity because it will be my long term home 😀🤙🏼

    • @McRocket
      @McRocket 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Travel With Jaz - actually, a LOT of people living in their vans in America who post on TH-cam do not have toilets/showers. They just live in vans and shower at 24 hour gyms. Enjoy man.

    • @Wishwader
      @Wishwader 6 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      I agree that a shower/toilet is a must, but note that this project involves a long wheelbase van so has extra space. Many opt for the shorter wheelbase version so they can park in a standard bay, lighter weight, lower fuel consumption and easier to navigate tighter roads. So pros and cons to both. To each their own. Yes a shower/toilet can fit in a shorter wheelbase van but it's not as straightforward.

    • @veganpotterthevegan
      @veganpotterthevegan 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Patriot Jefferson Those gym bathrooms are VERY clean. It's not a public restroom. That said, tons of people that tour national parks don't shower for over a week. So that's the norm. I myself would at least want a toilet but it's a huge sacrifice in terms of space. I would probably have an outdoor shower. I would care the most if I were with touring with a GF/wife. I wouldn't want sexy time with someone that hasn't showered for a week and I don't blame them for not wanting to touch me.

      "I LOVE that you are including a shower/toilet. I don't get why so many people are fine with travel vans without them"
      No kidding...you can lay your head ANYWHERE, even a makeshift rooftop tent or sleeping in the cab is doable (hell, people sleep in tiny-ass cars all the time). Cooking is no problem either, a small camp stove fed by a 20lb propane bottle can last MONTHS. On the more glamorous side, a cheap engine-coupled inverter or off-grid solar array would allow you to run a microwave or toaster oven no problem...
      But IMO having your own toilet, sink and shower... PRICELESS.

    The only thing I would add on this bathroom it is a little fan on the ceiling so the steamer can get out!
    But I read that you are going to install one later on, so we’ll done buddy, Good job 👍!

      I'm looking to do a similar thing but at the back. I want to have captain's chairs in the front turn 180 degrees to sit at a work desk and I figured I'd have all access to tanks, batteries etc via the doors at the back. Full time bed, shower/toilet but no garage.

      @southernspiritcampervans8606 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Just a thought for other DIY builders, you can also consider to fit the toilet door outside the other way around, so it would be hinged on the right side instead. Good point is in case the door pops open for whatever reason and while driving you properly don't rip the door off then.

    Very informative video!! Thank you!! It really helps when you are not a very handy person & you can find a video such as yours that shows how you did it, tools, supplies, etc... Can't wait to one day do this! My first requirement is that I can stand in the van, not ok with having to hunch over and second priority is a shower/toilet.

    Awesome job Jaz.
    Will be beginning my own build soon in a high roof MWB Ford Transit.
    I will be going for the porta potty sitting in the shower cubicle & removed when showering for the room and less areas for water to collect.
    Am not sure if am up to plumbing myself.
    Was also hoping to find a solution where didn't need gas or 240v for hot water as want to be off grid and more stealth.
    I'm 47yr female in Western Australia.... I'm prepared to give it all ago. 🤣

    • @JaznLori
      @JaznLori  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Cherie! Love your enthusiasm, you got it girl :) Yeah well the other hot water options I guess are just 240V or 12V hotwater, but instantaneous gas is the most efficient and quickest by far! I'd love to see your solutions, good luck wish you the best

    Jaz you are amazing. I'm so happy to see an Aussie conversion in great detail. I'm in my 50's and my dream is starting now. My chicks have all left the nest and I'm on my own so I hope to travel and live in my van for a few years. I've bought a Ford Transit Jumbo Hi roof which I'm converting. Have bought most things off Ebay and my garage is filling up quickly. Super impressed with your shower fit out. I've bought a Dometic Swivel toilet and was wondering what you lifted your toilet with to make smooth transition through access. I have same shower tray. Looking forward to future videos. (PS my son is an apprentice carpenter and will be doing the fit out for me so he can practice his skills LOL)

    • @JaznLori
      @JaznLori  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's awesome Tracy, glad to hear you'll be van lifing soon too! For the packer for underneath the toilet, I haven't sourced it yet but I will definitely show it in a video when I do. Its going to be some sort of plastic material I would imagine. Good to hear your son is on the build too, it's a lot of work! he'll get heaps of experience.
      All the best!

    Amazing... wish I had your skills. :P
    Those cassette toilet things are interesting, seems like something I'd want in a conversion van because it can be removed and dumped into a septic system or such without hauling the van over there. Sadly (or fortunately, depending on who you ask) in the USA we end up with black water tanks instead, which are large and hard to service, and a hell to dump / clean if you break down or can't move your van or trailer for a period of time.

    • @JaznLori

    The bathroom turned out as a success! Van Life would definitely not be the same without it! It takes living day to day in the van to the next level and makes it much more convenient. I strongly recommend building a bathroom if you have the chance.
    The wet area panel i used is called (High Pressure Melamine) - www.bunnings.com.au/wall-art-2400-x-1200-x-3mm-snow-white-wet-area-wall-shower-panel_p6660403

      I've been wondering now that some time has passed using the shower whether you've noticed the joins compromised at all, and also whether you've had much problem with mould on the Selleys product you used.

    • @JaznLori
      @JaznLori  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@MOXRA I did this so that I could just sikaflex the melamine panel straight to the ply , because the ply is riveted to the van wall, it is very secured , but I can't rivet the melamine straight to the wall because then it would have holes in it and would leak water

    FEEDBACK - Many thanks Jaz for putting in the time to producing this video - the content will be a real help to me, and many others I assume. Please could I ask you to back the music level off by approx 50% on your next video(s), it is quite overpowering in between you speaking, especially watching this late at night. Also, the extremely repetitive music in the first six minutes was so hard to endure I had to mute the sound. I appreciate mine is just a subjective view, and others may love the music. But I wanted to let you know at least one person was struggling with it, when what I most appreciate is your words and video, any nondescript quiet music in the background would have done. Hope I haven't caused any offense - like I say, I really appreciate your efforts here.

    • @JaznLori

      Sorry if this is too personal but can I ask where most of that will be going? Is it the big things like solar panels etc or did you have to buy tools? I'm thinking of doing a build myself and hearing $20,000 scares me!

    • @eric9964
      @eric9964 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, $20,000 sounds like way too much, usually an expensive build w/o van cost is around $5-8k, wondering where the other money went

    • @iannanson3951
      @iannanson3951 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Re the cost, he's an Aussie so remember the exchange rate is 25% plus below the us dollar. I suspect stuff costs more here too, and he see to be doing a fairly high end job. Easy to lose track of dollars when you get stuck in too😁

    • @JaznLori
      @JaznLori  6 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      Hey there! The most expensive thing will be the Lithium Ion batteries + all the battery management system going with it. Most vans dont do lithium ion, but it is something I really want because it is much better quality and will be the best for being completely off the grid. I still haven't finished the van build yet, but things add up quickly. Bare in mind that I'm planning for this to be my full time house for many years to come. $20,000 compared to a $500,000 house is no comparison.

    • @JaznLori
      @JaznLori  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      @justask437 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Travel With Jaz I don't mean to be rude but all the seals that I saw of yours did look very messy and yes there are dedicated tools for the job or what I use is a small piece of 4 mm mdf roughly 70 mm x 35 mm with a small 45 degree cut in one corner and use that corner to smooth your sealant

      There is also a set of silicone triangles and squares with angled and tapered edges. They flex in tighter than the finger, but again, easy to lose track of and the finger and spit are always 'handy".

    This is a great series of build instructions. You have good attention to details which so many other builds are missing, the examples in this video would the sealing off of the shower area, using cables and conduit to make later install steps easier (sparky background i guess! ) The only item would have recommended was to try and make sure the ply, and other wood components do not rub against metal, especially in hard to get to areas. This has happened to me and the squeaking on some roads dove us crazy. I ended up forcing some sealer around walls etc to stop it, but the one behind the shower was a right pain.
