Hey OP. This video really really helped me make some decisions this week about my bathroom. Much appreciate the time you took to make such a detailed video
Nice work there and great planning particularly where you screw the shower waste plastic nut to the underside of the van instead of the underside of the shower tray means you can always remove again if the waste fails and needs replaced.👍
Excellent video “ I’ll have to watch it 10 times for it to sink in “ I’m about to attempt this in my Crafter ‘ Help 😥 But could you tell me where you can buy the plastic sheets you used/ food grade “ Anyway thanks 🙏 again “ Top job.
Thank you, I got the plastic from eBay, unfortunately the company I used don't sell it any more but others are available, a search for "hygenic wall cladding" brings up the better prices, good luck with your build
Thanks, glad you like the build, sorry I didn't do a vid on the sink as it's a very easy install, just need to leave enough room for the pipework, good luck with your build
@@thatdamnmackem OK quick question and thanks for reply 👍. Waste what did you use . Standard half inch domestic? Or a small version. Got my head around the tap install. Not 100% sure on Waste. Only got the sink and mixer. Tia
@@thatdamnmackem just looking under it . The hole is small. I got it new from ebay but no waste attachment. Can you point me in the right direction to purchase a waste fitting for it . Love your wet room mine is almost identical and your videos helped a lot .
@@MrLodonlondon I snapped the waste that came with my sink ( doesn't take much to crack them) I replaced it with a standard camper 3/4" angled waste outlet, as they fit to the dometic sinks, easy to find on ebay like this one, www.ebay.co.uk/itm/184705446918?epid=1628750134&hash=item2b014d7406:g:UhUAAOSwkiZgSfR4

Sorry I don't know of any books, don't want to put a damper on it but if you are doing something like this for your first time be aware it is a big job, if you don't have a lot of diy experience the best advice I could give is to make lots of templates using thick cardboard or even make a a mock up out of 6mm ply so as not to waste the expensive thick stuff
random question, but what size is the window you have fitted to the left of that shower room, the biggest one not the little skinny one. Just I'm planning to fit windows that I've just bought, I've done the measurements but I'm worried I may have bought a window that will be too long, and get in the way of the bathroom... Thanks! loved the video it's really helpful
Hi, It's just the normal size window for that panel, yes the toilet box extends about 8" in front of the window but it's not noticeable from the outside as the tint prevents you seeing it, unless the lights are on with the curtains open but even then it's not that noticeable
Thanks the box is 42" x 29" ( 106mm x 73mm ) the shower tray was advertised as 69.5 x 116 but was 106 x 68 when it arrived, I then added an extra 5cm to the depth
great video mate , iv seen a few of your vids now and though its time to subscribe. Iv just started a lwb tight top crafter conversion myself and flying through the build . quick question is there a reason you didn't go right back to the wheel well with the shower I was planning to but up to the well so the showers a little further back from the window
Thanks for the sub!, I wanted to put the shower tray up to the wheel arch but when it was in position the drain for the shower came out on top of a chassis cross beam and there was a diagonal supporting wall brace which I didn't want to cut through to make the hole for the cassette access so had to move it forward until I could clear them, also I have run cables behind the shower tray to service the rear of the driver side so needed space for them, have seen videos where the shower is up to the wheel arch but think the xlwb must have different chassis member positions, good luck with your build
@@KeepTheBalance I used this one, it also needs a T12 Transformer to run it www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Manrose-XF100LV-100mm-4-Wall-Ceiling-12v-Low-Voltage-Bathroom-Extractor-Fan/254075703524?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
Thanks, I'm using normal ply, the furniture board is way too expensive for me to mess up if I make a mistake , the van has the 163ps engine so not worried about the bit extra weight, the extractor runs out the side of the van as I showed at the end of the video
@@thatdamnmackemtotally agree! Furniture board so expensive. I am using poplar plywood are you painting the ply ? Sorry I switched video off too quick to write in the comments😊😊 regards jon
@@TCDEWE Yes I was going to just clear varnish it so used the best ply I could find at my local wood yard but have now decided to paint it, I have applied three coats of undercoat going to follow it with a top coat of eggshell and then two coats of gloss varnish to protect the paint and hopefully give a "pro" finish, it's basically the same process as in the last video where I painted the wheel arch boxes except i'm sanding between each coat to remove any minor high spots in the paint
@@thatdamnmackem Great idea on the clear varnish to finish. Just looking at the PVC 2mm sheets really good price, are you pleased with them? I may just do the 3 sides and use a curtain on the door side. Thanks for your feedback

Glad it was of some help
This man is a living swiss army knife. So much skill in one person
Haha, thanks mate appreciate the comments 👍
There is no C19...
Stop watching TV.
Nice job btw 👍
Nice work there and great planning particularly where you screw the shower waste plastic nut to the underside of the van instead of the underside of the shower tray means you can always remove again if the waste fails and needs replaced.👍
Thanks, yes I planned all of the build with the "what if it needs fixing, how will I get to it" thought process
Great job.
Thanks 👍
Fantastic. Really enjoying your videos.
Thanks Melvyn glad you like them

Just found your videos... you have a new sub my friend. Good job 👍🏻
Many thanks for subscribing, my videos are more "how I did it" with tips rather than " how to " hope the videos are of some use to you, Brian
thatdamnmackem same here. No point with mr virgoes videos out there ha
@@urbanarkoverland Yes it was his videos that gave me the confidence to do my own
Great work! Can you recommend a book to read on this process?
Thx

Hallo. Thanks
great video mate , iv seen a few of your vids now and though its time to subscribe.

Really nice Video! Which fan did you use in the bathroom is it 12v or running through a transformer?
Many thanks, it runs through a transformer, couldn’t find a 12v one that I was happy with
@@thatdamnmackem yes thats the same problem as me, there's limited choices of 12v Available
@@KeepTheBalance I used this one, it also needs a T12 Transformer to run it www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Manrose-XF100LV-100mm-4-Wall-Ceiling-12v-Low-Voltage-Bathroom-Extractor-Fan/254075703524?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
