Hi All I am new to the forum, and just about to start our van conversion journey, hoping to buy a Vauxhall Movano MWB high top van. Thinking about designs and we would both ideally like a shower, but dont want to loose a lot of space having one boxed out. I was wondering if anyone had done anything like an open shower, with just a simple deep metal shower pan installed into the floor, and an all around weighted shower curtain (something like this www.argos.co.uk/product/8302009 ). Do you think something like this would work out? Any ideas welcome!!!

Hi Daven We were looking at external showers (I saw this idea on Pinterest and thought it was pretty nifty! tinyurl.com/zz4bn94) but boyfriend reminded me we are planning on going to some cold places in Europe (looking to travel long term in the van) and so external shower may not be suitable :/

Water?
If You do install any kind of shower You will also have to store (and heat) the water to make it work, and showers use a lot as you're basically just pouring it away. In My van (Renault Trafic with a very basic conversion) I just use a big builders bucket, the flexible type with 2 handles, and a 12 volt camping shower. 1 kettle of hot water and 2 of cold in the bucket and the pump just keeps recirculating the same water. Hardly luxurious but enough to stay clean, and when finished just tip the water out somewhere suitable. This set up can also be used outside if the weather allows.

I have a child's hula hoop fastened to my van ceiling from which I hang 2 x shower curtains I blow up a child's paddling pool on the floor and have a 12v shower that I clip up when showered it all packs away into a small storage box.

I'm just finishing a conversion from scratch and am wanting a pretty basic shower so that idea of the hula hoop really appeals!i was thinking of trapping the bottom of the shower curtain between two builders buckets, one cut down inside the other, big enough to stand in. Hmmm...😊
