The base of the bathroom in our Camper Van is the custom made Shower Tray made of stainless steel and the platform its installed on!!
As we already mentioned in the post about the installation of the Service Door our original idea of lowering the shower tray into the floor is not possible because the removal of the waste tank through the service door would be at the same height as the black plastic panel ...
Our Campervan has a bathroom with a shower and toilet! To remove and clean the waste tank from the outside, let’s show the step-by-step installation of the Service Door.
The Thetford toilet model C223-CS with a toilet bowl that revolves 180 degrees on the base and locks into place by simply pressing down on the seat is made of light plastic material with an electric flush system, measures only 534 x 394 ...
If you need a „bathroom“ in a Camper or not is individually up to the builder of the Van. We want to add a shower & toilet so we build a wetroom in our Overland-Campervan!
Never have we talked, heard or read so much about number one’s and two’s or where to pee and poo than while planning the Van layout.
Wether you want to use the Van vor short trips or long term travel, there are lots of ...
Separation Toilet, Dry Toilet, Composting Toilet, Cassette Toilet, Porta Potti, Bucket Toilet, Urinella or just poo in the woods? There are lots of ways to go number one or number two while traveling in a Campervan!
Camping and toilets go together like bed and breakfast - there’s no way around it. With an individual DIY Campervan there’s no „right“ or „wrong" when it comes to the decision of which toilet ...
How does the Corona-pandemic affect us & our travel plans?
„Social Distancing“ is probably on a successful track to be the non-word of the year 2020, just like „self-isolation“ and „quarantine“. You are only allowed to be in public with people you live with, or one other person. „Flatten the curve“ - keep the intensive care unit free for the risk group.
Keeping 1,5 meters distance means long lines ...
Furniture like a closet, drawer and storage room - all of this belongs in a Camper Van, just small and compact but still with lots of room!
In Part 1/2 about the closet we already built the tall cabinet, lower cabinets and the worktop.
As a reminder and to better understand which elements we named what, here’s our drawing of the closet:
The upper cabinets (O1 and O2) We built ...

In every house belongs a closet, a drawer as well as a storage room and a shelf, of course. All of this but much smaller will fit in our Campervan, too!
Because of its compactness, maneuverability and ground clearance, we chose a small or rather short Sprinter with 6 square meters of „living space“. If you only use the van on the weekends or short trips you need much less luggage than if you want to live ...
A snorkel on a 4x4 offroad campervan does not only look good and increases the fording depth, it also prevents the intake of dust & dirt and therefore protects the engine from it. We install a Bravo Snorkel and a second battery!
Besides the great looks, a snorkel (elevated air intake) has a protective role: It protects the filter of the vehicle and therefore the engine from dirt and water, by which ...
The most underrated „wall“ in a campervan is probably the sliding door. To finalize the interior paneling we outfit our sliding door with poplar plywood and fabric covers as well as Tic Tac Tiles!
We already paneled the ceiling, walls and back doors with a vanbuild classic - 6 mm poplar plywood. We are again using this wood for the sliding door.
For the ceiling and the walls we used HPL coated wood or ...
Our self-converted campervan will have a flexible solution of a steplessly adjustable lift table which can turn the sitting- and dining area into a flat bed surface - lots of storage room incluced!
After the first step of building the frame construction for our benches and mounting the lift table, the next step is adding front panels and seating surfaces. The seats have flaps to reach into the storage ...
