Kudos to you for tackling such a product. That is a lot of work. I couple things you may want to look at re-addressing is the roof penetration and shower corners. The metal tape is typically not rated for exterior and the uv rays will break it down. Also, because of the unsmooth surface it creates from the wrinkles, you won't be able to seal it properly and sealant probably won't bond completely.. It will begin to leak after a few trips. And since you didn't use the corner moldings with the FRP, the constant movement of the trailer while moving down the road is going to cause those corners to separate frequently. If you used 100% silicone or OSI, that may help minimize the cracking, but you will still notice you will need to recaulk those areas often. Not looking to criticize, just help. I have done a few of these projects and learned from experience. Keep at it. I am interested to see it all complete. I like the design so far. Happy building!
Good work on your build!! I agree a piece of pvc pipe as a spacer would be a good idea. It can be manipulated with a heat gun and stretched with wooden plugs to get the right diameter if needed. Also the metal tape might not last to well and if you used a silicone product Dicor lap sealant will not stick. You have done so much work it would be a shame to have leaks in your trailer!!
So, I'm in the research phase. Let me throw some ideas at you for panel substitutions: 1). insulation foam covered in epoxy. The guys over at Stone Coat Countertops demonstrate this all the time as a shower surround. It's very waterproof and you can make it look like natural stone...also lightweight and flexible for travel. You'd still do all the red guarding but that would be the skin. I don't know what would happen if you accidentally threw a sharp elbow into the wall in such a tight space. 2). I saw a van lifer do pool paint. It looked really cool.
Yea I def wouldn't want something that could be so easily punctured personally! If I were to do it again, I think I would consider doing the same thing. I couldn't find a better product even though I hated working with FRP.
THat’s a nice idea, but what happens if you accidentally have to go because you have diarrhea? I don’t think you’re going to have much to say if you have a lot of water mixed in with he poop…..It always surprise me to hear the comment “We’ll pee, but won’t worry about Poo….
What size trailer did you go with and what was the final weight after you where done im curious because im getting ready to build and im pulling with a 4Runner
@@diycargotrailer Now that you've had the urine only toilet for a year- how do you guys like it? Do you consider switching to a composter or are you pleased with it as is? Planning ours out & all your videos have been very informative. Thanks so much!
It’s very disappointing when you see something you like to get but you don’t provide a link to it. You said you bought the shower fan on Amazon no link I was navigating on Amazon looking for this fan nothing found this is frustrating but whatever thanks

Great points! I'm glad I did the Redguard. Overall, not really crazy about the FRP in general.
I like the way you work you think outside the box.
Oh you could say... INSIDE the box amirite?
I worked in fiberglass so get a balloons or anything to make static electricity it will pick up all the fiberglass off your arms
Thats GENIUS!
Really nice build! Compact, versatile and functional. Nice clean lines and well planned out. Going back through your other videos now.
Awesome, thank you!

I like that vinyl quarter round you did in the corners. I was wondering how you were going to fill the gaps.
Nice bathroom I'm thinking about adding one in my cargo trailer. I love the shower and toilet that's neat you have skills.
Go for it!
Great job!!!!
it’s a year later. how’s the wet bath holding up? i might do something similar.
Nicely done!!!
I would have tried to make a tube for the shower with the white panel you used for the walls of the bathroom.
Awesome build
Super nice build!
Finally this is the toilet content I asked for
Nice Shower! Curious why you didn’t use the fiber tape that red guard has for their system?
Why not a chemical toilet?

what do you do in your car that doesn't have any toilet?
This is such a disgusting 🫣 question.
What size trailer did you go with and what was the final weight after you where done im curious because im getting ready to build and im pulling with a 4Runner
You should have just use NEU GUARD epoxy paint on your wall. it will be better. it will make it water proof.
Can I ask where you got the shower pan?
Interesting concept. Wet bath with compost toilet…
It's not a compost toilet. Just a urine only toilet that drains to a tank!
@@diycargotrailer Now that you've had the urine only toilet for a year- how do you guys like it? Do you consider switching to a composter or are you pleased with it as is?
Planning ours out & all your videos have been very informative. Thanks so much!
What are the measurements of your shower pan?
Just a question, would a piece of PVC pipe work for your gap in the fan?
You know, it just might. That's a clever idea if I go back and change it.
Great video! Did you mention the size of your shower pan? And have you been happy with that size after using it on a few trips?
It’s very disappointing when you see something you like to get but you don’t provide a link to it. You said you bought the shower fan on Amazon no link I was navigating on Amazon looking for this fan nothing found this is frustrating but whatever thanks
Everyone's a critic
Relax dude, some peoples kids…thanks for the informative video bud
your intro gives me family guy vibes 😂
Sorry but no Amazon links for the fan or none!! Dang
I updated the description JUST for you
So you are dumping urine on the ground?
Where can I purchase that vent fan?
Amazon!
No offense but don't you think you need more experience to sell a course on how to build a cargo trailer camper?
It's a cautionary tale
