I think a place to pee, poo & shower is a must, what do you do when its freezing outside and you need to go in the middle of night? Yeah you carry your toilet, makes sense. It takes up a lot of space but its essential. (The toilet more than the shower!)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The toilet we fitted is a Thetford Cassette type, it has a flush that pulls water from the main water tank under the van. The waste drops into a cassette that can be accessed from a hatch.. Simply slide and dump!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A moulded integrated shower tray is available for this toilet. It made life a little easer when it can to building the shower\/toilet room, installing the plumbing.. Well worth buying one if your going for this type of Thetford toilet.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The cubical was built using stud walls and lined with 3mm ply coated in PVC helping to keep the water in the cubical and down the drain.<\/p>\n

The shower is not necessary but good to have. I wanted a Ebersp\u00e4cher water and air heater but the unit is huge, the idea had to be ditched. The solution we used was a 10ltr water container, a submersible Whale pump that can be turned on and off when having a shower delivering water to the shower head. The water container can be refilled from the main tank under the van, controlled by the big red tap shown in the picture.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The ratio of cold to hot water for the perfect shower 4 litres of cold to 2 litres of boiling water makes for a steamy shower, more hot water may be needed in the winter. We use a small funnel to fill up the with hot water.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Overall it works quite well. 7ish litres of water gives you about 4 minutes water flow time, which is long enough to get wet, turn the water off soap up and then rinse.<\/p>\n
