    For me, a toilet and shower space is essential. It amazes me that some van dwellers seem to skimp on it.

      ghlyall there is pop up showers alot of them use. N a compound toilet. Alot cheaper too

    • @shaleemichelle
      @shaleemichelle 6 лет назад +5

      I know! It's absolute essentially, in my opinion, especially if you're going for more of a "stealth" build rather than a casual build to travel in. A lot of people talk about getting gym memberships to use the showers, but that's a huge annual cost. Paying a little bit more upfront and sacrificing a small bit of space will pay for itself within a couple of years. Especially if your van is your permanent home and you have a job.

    • @sirroxalot
      @sirroxalot 6 лет назад +14

      Yeah, I hate seeing "clickbait" that claims the ultimate, super-duper, off-grid camper van and all they did was put a bed in it and slap on some solar panels. Not exactly bug-n-out if you have to go into town every time you want a hot meal or have to take a crap.

    • @sixmagpies
      @sixmagpies 6 лет назад +1

      !00% correct. How people travel without the basic essential of being able to 'S and S', as they say, is beyond me. The same goes for poor truck drivers who are never offered anything like this.

    • @sirroxalot
      @sirroxalot 6 лет назад

      Exactly. My dad drove trucks for 40 years. That's one of the main reasons he drove locally instead of cross-country.

    I like that you made the cassette remove from the inside rather than cutting a whole in the side of your van. Very nice build !

  • @charleshoward9983
    @charleshoward9983 7 лет назад +9

    • @charleshoward9983
      @charleshoward9983 7 лет назад

      (VanTourist) yea well I was just thinking of keeping the mess to a minimum and outside instead of inside, but just my opinion's. No harm intended. Take care.

    • @Vantouristcom
      @Vantouristcom  7 лет назад +1

      No harm mate :) It was a hard long choice to make service door inside or outside. With many plus and minus sides. But at the end i choose inside option just for my build. I agree that outside door is stil great and could be best option for most builds

    • @vanalyzethis8305

    Most would probably prefer a composting toilet though to use less water.

    You are really smart. Even if someone gave me all the equipment to build something like this I won't be able to do it. Great job because you are so meticulous. I just wanted to ask you one question as I am in the planning stage of my caravan.
    The toilet is absolutely necessary as much the entrance doorway. But both are used only for less than 10 minutes in a day. Why waste so much space for something which are very necessary but used sparingly. Why not combine the entrance door way and the toilet as a 3 feet by 3 feet area at the door. The only downside is that when someone is using the bath you cannot move out or in. In a country like India where we don't have the infrastructure like a dump station I will be using bucket toilets. The grey water will drain out of the van through the doorway. I will be using the bath only outside city limits, but the bucket toilet can be used anywhere and the faecal matter can be disposed off in a dumpster. Do you foresee any problem in my plan. Thanks for the upload. Cheers!

    Looks great, I plan to build mine right at the sliding door because I don't plan to use that door much anyway and it provides a good space for keeping dirty clothes.
    Do you have a specific reason why you didn't go with a composting toilet?

    • @dejayrezme8617
      @dejayrezme8617 7 лет назад +1

      Going into your van through the shower is also a good idea to keep out dirt and clean up shoes etc

    • @jakobganske
      @jakobganske 7 лет назад +1

      Yup, it allows you to get in the van without bringing dirt into your bedroom. I don't plan to use the sliding door too much anyway because it is really loud on my 2014 Fiat Ducato.

  • @higbeedoug
    @higbeedoug 4 года назад

    Gotta ask, If I'm correct, this cassette toilet is usually installed with the cassette to the outside of the unit as it is vented that way also. As you have it mounted to the inside, how is the venting handled? Does the cassette 'gas-off' to the interior of your build? Are you happy with the way it ended up performing in this manner?

    Hi VanTourist! Great to follow you and your ideas. I started my van build on a Promaster 2500 1159wb. Like your shower build - however wondering why you didn't go with a composting toilet? Maybe they won't work with the shower combo? Looked on Thetford site and its a challenging site to navigate. While they have composting toilets - one can't find them via search. Any idea on the compost combo? Thanks so much. Your website is inspirational as well. Love your free spirit.

    • @Vantouristcom
      @Vantouristcom  6 лет назад

      My plan was simple - i use things that i know. I know how they work. When i made my shower/toilet i didnt know much about composting toilet and have no time to make good research about it. So i did what you see. Composting option could be better than mine and i heard many good words about it.

  • @charlesgonzalez5945
    @charlesgonzalez5945 5 лет назад

    The cassette is removed from inside the van?

    • @jcrnda
      @jcrnda 3 года назад

      That's the whole point. Usually this setup is rotated 180 degrees and the cassette is removed through a special door outside. It actually makes more sense.

  • @Choedron
    @Choedron 4 года назад

    OK, I do not get, why you turned the cassette that way. Normally it is turned, so one can access the cassette, through a flap on the outside of the van. This prevent spilling on the inside of the van - and makes it easy to just pull it out and empty it into a drain meant for emptying cassettes.

    • @Vantouristcom
      @Vantouristcom  4 года назад

      Easy reason - for not cutting metal side of the van. A bit of bonus stealth is nice too. I manage to not spit anything around the van. Actually it's nothing to spit if you doing it right and cassette function properly

    • @jmes400
      @jmes400 4 года назад

      Does the cassette leak a smell in the van? The cassette has a vent that relieves pressure when it builds up from the waste. If the access door is on the outside, I believe this naturally vents outside but if the door is on the inside, does it vent into the van when relieving pressure?

      well it's "full size" in a category of van restrooms. It has a toilet, shower, mixer when mostly in van conversion people have... nothing. Or some portable toilet under the bed. And shower head they could stick outside the window or back doors to shower.
      Fore sure its not "full size" if you compare it to home bathroom
