    Great video tutorial. I was searching for a video like this for ideas for my 26' Tinyhouse trailer build. I love the idea of the Separate as the seat in the shower, I wasn't thinking of that before watching your video, so I may have to incorporate this into mine now and this would free up space where the Separate would have gone before. Instead now room for a Washer/Dryer. I want to add a Steamer/Sauna feature, this way one can have a longer shower sort of when lots of water is scarce.

    You’re an absolute star ⭐️
    Couple of hints from the hundreds of RUclips vlogs Ive watched on these very builds:
    Put a cover over the toilet when showering because any little bit of moisture upsets the whole toilet set up. The cover will mean less drying afterwards.
    Recover and seal the edges of the under the van bug mesh cover because they tear easily.
    Put a ring bit of essential oil into your spray bottle when washing out the bowl of the loo.
    Get Happy Bowl Liners for the loo it eliminates skid marks lol.
    Take care not to miss noticing the wee bucket needs emptying as overflow sucks.
    Happy trails 😊

    Looks great Max! Love the heater variation to make the space more practical from a ‘drying room’ point of view.
