How To Shower Inside The Van | Cheap Creative Shower Build

[@Susicruzz]

I feel so so blessed that some of you still stay around and watch over me and my videos . Social media can put a lot of pressure to somebody and I guess you only really know that feeling once you are in it. There is a constant pressure to put out content and to do better. After all I realized this is still my own personal journey that I love to share whenever I feel like it and not when people are expecting things. So I can not express my gratitude to those who check it out regularly without giving me any pressure or negativity and only wish me the best on my journey. I m so greatful from the bottom of my heart x I wish you all the best and hope you keep grinding and doing something you are proud of ..for yourself and only yourself x kisses sue

You should put amazon and or ebay affiliate links to this products so if we buy them we also help you a little ;)

[@nadyaal-ahmed2289]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@melindakelly8364]

I just enjoy your videos! No pressure on the schedule!! I wonder if you could hook a little hose up to the tub part that would just hang out of the door if you had it cracked open so that the water could be draining while you are showering?!

[@sultana.spice.]

You're amazing and an inspiration! Keep going! ❤❤❤ A full world is waiting for you...

[@urbanrat84]

Leaving people wanting more is just how you want it! If they are clamoring for more, just keep doing what you are doing. Dont let the world eat you up, because they'll just consume you if they get the chance. Keep shining brightly :)

[@andreailene8007]

I have to admit that watching other vanlifers and their perfectly constructed vans with all the expensive commodities makes me feel like vanlife is unattainable for someone who doesn’t have an insane amount of money, but Susi you show us that anyone can do van life if they really really want it and you showing your hacks and self-construction is so inspiring! Your creativity and enthusiasm are amazing and you are my favorite vanlife youtuber!

[@kinniwright1642]

She built it as she had the money and did all the work herself. Cost saving.

[@stankiewicz1992]

Yes! She is amazing!

[@sandrafowke]

Check out Chrome’s Vancity Vanlife vids. He started with just a bed and a few cheap draws. Start out with what you need and add bits as you work out what’s necessary for you. Embrace minimalism and you’ll be fine.

[@Greldek]

I agree. So many VanLifers on youtube just seem to have had a spare 50 grand laying around for custom probuilt everything, on top of a brand new van to boot.

[@Knightrayn]

Great idea! Four years later, how did it go? Still recommend this shower setup?

[@JennaRevamped]

This is probably the best shower solution I've seen for a van lifer who doesn't have the space/budget for an actual shower. Not only great for colder months, but also if you're in a busier area and can't shower with an outside shower van hookup. Thanks for sharing!

[@BigKarl519]

Hey Susi, you're going to want to put a patio stone under and backing the wood stove. I think maybe you're underestimating just how hot these stoves get.

[@microfarm4060]

yes please be safe and but either metal or any form of back flash to control heat, that company shows videos and how to put the stove with tile, stone. metal or anything to protect from heat.

[@Wgcgirl]

I was going to say the same!

[@Susicruzz]

Ohh of course !! It’s not even ready yet :D I was just starting to build it !! Thank you though!!

[@user-my5ey6ow7m]

it may be a little more expensive than patio stone but I have thought that low density ceramic fiber insulation board used for kilns, forges, etc would be a perfect lightweight easy to use solution for keeping the heat of a stove away from the combustible parts of a van.

[@NicholsKT]

It’s also perfect that the roof vent is where it is. That way, any steam from showering can be immediately vented out 👍

[@tranquilitytravels2994]

Great idea for a shower. You can attach a hose to the pool drain and collect the dirty water into a bottle instead of pouring it on the ground. Also, a 3 liter garden sprayer from Home Depot is only $7 and pressurizes water. I think you could glue Velcro to the bottom of the shower curtain and pool/tub edge to keep it securely in place. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@thinkabout288]

" make the water wet " does she know how cute she is ?????🚿🚿🚿🚿🚿🚿🚿🚿🚿

[@animerlon]

Absolutely, bloody brilliant! If you have a van where you can't stand up you could use one of those fold up plastic stools to sit in the middle. That tub is a great find.

[@ItsBellum]

She's so excited... so cute...and really good simple inside shower idea.

[@joaohenriques2696]

A thing like that could only come from a genius like you 😮🙏🏼🐐

[@PurpleFlower22]

João Henriques haha you got yourself a keeper ❣️

[@christinaclaypool4880]

This is from a couple from Spain that travels from Morocco. It was there idea first. Literally the same brand pool.

[@keagynroberts9379]

João Henriques you should at least help her

[@Rain3Silver]

Very creative idea for taking a shower in a Van. Thanks for sharing! The words you were looking for are a "hose" and "Sprayer". Best of luck and happy times in your Van travels and stays.

[@markusschmidt9052]

A fire in a closed room can be really dangerous because of the carbon monoxide. You should defenetly buy a carbon monoxide detector (if you haven't done it already...).

[@dw1682]

Susi you look amazing!!! I read your comment... honestly I watch your content because I love it and I don’t expect any more from you. You’re a great person and we’re here to support you in your life dreams! Social media is a big monster, don’t listen to the negativity. Focus on the positivity! Love you ! 😘

[@monicacespedes4406]

Indeed

[@efjefe]

Well im a full grown man and my van is a conversion van. I bought a 12 volt shower pump for summer and straight up water basin for sponge baths in winter. Works great. Remember to have baby wipes.

[@montenegrow988]

i like this one way a lot better, Susi! The simplest shower in the comfort and privacy of your own mobile home. Good job on your van!

[@kerriganlea]

thank you so much for inspiring me every single day, you’ve made me realize there’s more to life than what i’m doing rn ✨

[@meenanatarajan18]

I really enjoyed reading the comments section on Suzi's videos. It's amazing how most of the subscribers encourage her and help her out with so many hacks. Kudos to her community. To all the guys who have commented- you all are doing a great job.

[@kelkilkat]

The wood paneling looks fantastic, and the shower idea is ingenious and inexpensive

[@fluffbigrollingmarshmallow]

I've suggested this on so many van channels, because it's what I plan to use. Thankfully someone listened! LOL

[@sandracraine8232]

I love the pool idea, thank you for sharing it. I watch alot of vanlife videos and have never seen one like it before. Awesome! You are a pleasure to watch.....May the good Lord bless you in your endeavors.

[@naomiholliday3863]

Great idea especially now that a lot of gyms and camp grounds are closed. Safe travels and great ideas.

[@brookiez3]

I can't wait to see the van finished and to watch you continue on your journeys 😍😍😍

[@cagedraptor]

my wife and I live in a mini van and have about 0 space. I have several shower systems set up and one is the hoola hoop which can attach to the outside side door which makes for a great shower area. very wonderful video I like the dog pool idea.

[@mariana236zyz]

Wow your shower invention is so clever!!!!! I just love your determination to get things done on your own!!!!!!!!!! Your a tower of STRENGTH!!!!!!!!!!!! God bless you❤❤❤

[@markshoenus2591]

The collapsible dog pool is such a great idea. I think this would work great while kneeling or sitting in a plastic chair and taking a sponge bath. Thanks for the idea!!!

[@monamaceo]

You are so humble n adorable … ❤ wonderful idea.

[@talkandeattv]

my favorite van build shower I’ve ever seen! I’ve always felt like those full shower builds are so expensive!

[@camillesadventures]

I saw some people doing it on KZbin and I thought it was a great idea! I'm glad you thought about it! It is so easy and cheap on the long term and you can have warm water in winter. I don't understand why there's not more people who think about it

[@rimtimungpi3225]

Susi's laugh melts my heart. So pure 🦋

[@nancytirak159]

Wow it folds away, great idea. I think the bungee cords are perfect because, unlike the hoola hoop, they fold away too. Also a sprayer nozzle and shower curtain can be purchased a a dollar store. Wonder idea.

[@TheBoondockers]

POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD! Please check the drawer you have sat the burner on it looks as though it is made of wood the bottom of log burners gets extremely hot and could cause a fire, I suggest putting fireboard on the top of the box then a stone slab on top of the fireboard to insulate from the heat also make sure you have several inches clearance around the burner. Sorry to shout this out but we really enjoy watching your vids and only want you to be safe.

[@Susicruzz]

Aww thank you !! Of course It’s not done yet I wanted to put farmacell and tiles on it to make it safe 💕

[@georgina1317]

So happy to see the inside of the van again! Great shower idea.

[@eugeniacalamonte3086]

Good solution for having shower! I am really impatien to see the stove working, it is so beautiful!!

[@lisaintha18]

I can listen to you talk all day! Heheh I really admire your strength to wander the world.

[@minnty9645]

I've been waiting on this video forever! I'm always checking for updates on your Instagram story haha. I love you susi. I love everything you create.

[@hello_04]

I thought it was just me...like seriously!!

[@rosemonje]

the only youtuber im happy to not skip ads for 😘 love your journey & you!!

[@markbirchall2060]

Susi - You have great ideas!! And you are very good on camera. Keep up the work.

[@cc-cd1yh]

Great video...that is really a very big deal to be able to shower in the van with warm water...also LOVE the little stove!

[@debslifesimplified6406]

Clever using doggie bath. I can use this when I go up to NY, and need a shower as part of my set up. Thank you for sharing. I hadn't seen you in awhile, and was actually getting ready to look at another video when u popped up, so I switched over to see your new video. Thanks for sharing.

[@jesuscross9]

Love this idea. The dog pool idea was exactly what I've been looking for. I have the curtain and water for my situation figured out but could never think of anything durable, but storable to catch the water. That will work perfectly. I immediately went on amazon and ordered one after seeing it in your video. Thank you so much.

[@rocksyrae9402]

I can't wait to see the adventures of Suzi!! Hehe!! You have done a beautiful job and have an amazing soul! Xoxo

[@HerVintageCloset]

My beautiful Susie u are always so creative I love it 🌻❤️🌹 even tho I don’t do van life I always love watching videos like this .... u are so inteligente and inspiring ! love you 😭🌹🦋🌈 Love from London ...

[@tommycancan7186]

Thanks for showing Susi, great idea!

[@omairjamal3027]

Such a great idea for an out of the way shower. Thank you!!

[@kpreno]

I am so excited about all your innovations or "Vannovations" :) You are so excited and that makes everyone excited and we can't wait to see you on the road again!! Love you, Susi

[@versatec1]

You could fit a hose pipe to the outlet so the water goes out as you shower, maybe make a hole in the floor so you can lock the door or just run it outside via the door

[@vane8062]

I have only seen these technique on 2 vans so far .. Im surprised its rarely implemented . I think its the best shower placement for small vans.. Built in shower floor with cover and ceiling w/ hidden hooks for shower curtains

[@monicacespedes4406]

great idea!!!! genius!

[@johnbroystonjr23]

Hey Susi!!! Keep up the good work. What a great and innovative way to shower INSIDE your van. That was very clever of you. Your little heater is going to come in handy once you get it fired up. Be careful out there and Thank you for sharing. 🚐 ☕️ 😁

[@teresasousa5807]

Hi beautiful Susi!!! 🌻 I have a tip for you! Instead of using natural shampoo in a bottle you should use bar shampoo and bar conditioner (if you need conditioner). You’ve Lush for instance and other smaller brands. Bar shampoo is more sustainable and much more easy to carry. I hope you like this idea, much love for you Susi, you are such a beautiful soul 🌞✨

[@tamrapais]

Your vids are always inspiring to watch :) you do you girl.

[@katjaedit]

”garden pipe you know those things to make the water wet” 😂

[@jeslyny9692]

Love your van life as it is creative and budget friendly. Not everyone is rich here

[@MiharuKenshin]

susi im so happy to see u smile again

[@rashb3994]

Genius and affordable. Thank you! It's a great solution if I decide to live in van or SUV.

[@rouseyournicholls]

I love this!! People like you inspire me to take this journey. I am currently preparing and documenting my journey on my youtube channel. ❤❤❤

[@kevinstarner5818]

I love your shower idea. keep the nice videos coming.

[@lisakasprzycki]

i love the whole journey, van upgrade and all ! your life is actual, and brings positivity when you share so ~ wishing you plenty of happy self acceptnce, and the cozy reward of enjoying vanlife after all your hard work 🌞

[@jshvjshv7322]

You have a great imagination :) I love watching your videos for good, affordable and creative ideas (about anything).

Finally! 🙆💃🎆🎉 the waiting feels so so so long ⌚😕 saludos desde Venezuela 💛💙♥

[@XxPetitNuagexX]

ich liebe deine liebevolle, witzige und mitreißende Art. über so eine Dusche habe ich auch schon nachgedacht. Das mit dem Hundepool ist ne klasse Idee!

[@24appleberries]

omg the shower curtain idea is so amazing! Thank you for sharing this part of your journey with us! Excited to where your van will take you next!

[@1pixman]

You Need to Have the shower Curtain Inside the Dog Pool .Oh it is a Shower Hose With Shower Rose , Nozzle .

[@theresaprice310]

I will be using this in my house not the curtains just the bucket I don’t have a shower when I get my van definitely thanks 💕

[@herbies63]

I’m doing the same as you but I got the rechargeable camping shower head, it has its own pump to pull the water up so that you don’t need a pressurised container for it, great idea you had too 👍🏻

[@tommycancan7186]

Great idea Susi! Got me one to use inside my tent. Thanks!

[@russiancraziness]

aweee you’re so cute susi😭

[@LittleXuanVi]

Hello Suzi, I love watching you going on new adventures and being so positive! You are an amazing human being and we need more people like you in this world. I look forward to your new contents. Much love!

[@juanconde9828]

Susi you and your explanations on how you do everything are to cute, the shower idea A+, nice inexpensive and functional, keep it up kid till your next vid, gb.

[@GEAUXFRUGAL]

Glue magnet to the shower curtains and the bowl. Use ice chest for your water vessel keep water warm.

[@taylaa28]

I just cant wait for the final new look of your van susi 😍 you inspire me everyday. Wish you the best. I always look on your Instagram to see hows the conversion progress and you amaze me everyday 💙💙💙 stay awesome!!!

[@juliekim9955]

[@MsNysa92]

I AM OBSESS WITH YOUR VIDEO OMGGGG 💞

[@victoriascarparo6]

I'm so happy for you and also so excited 😍 It's so perfect!! You deserve the best! 😚❤

[@donalee2023]

You have a sweet disposition. Love your shower portability idea!. ••••Remember•••• to read comments on safety for your stove about the stone backing

[@thesanctuary225]

If you attach the shower curtain right under the ceiling fan, turn on the fan after shower, than you can dry out the curtain very fast. I don't recommend but... If you make a draining sink hall on the floor, it could become both shower drain, and kitchen drain, but you need to have a very tight stoper to prohibit water inflow from outside of van. When your 4x4 van cross a small river, water inflow from outside will be critical. So have a very tight stoper.(maybe screw style)

[@amandacalazans3357]

Finally!! I'm so happy for you! 💖💖

[@drivingbarefoot]

girl, that is brilliant!

[@johnwang9914]

A children's inflatable wading pool and a circular shower curtain rod might've given you a stand up shower. The problem would be dumping the waste water, particularly in winter when just dumping outside could form ice.

[@sheryljohnson8383]

You are so adorable and what a great solutions...thanks for posting

[@viivienneszabo]

Gosh, your music always makes me inspirated and calm ❤️

[@gisellegonzalez2628]

I used to shower in my van. It was an inflatable tub. It has a hose that goes out and drains as you shower. It’s much taller than the one you have. I paid $24.00, you can also find it on amazon.

[@alloutjoy3172]

I was going to buy a tub, but that collapsing one is so much better. Other collapsing ones are so expensive.

[@kinniwright1642]

Susi you should make a wish list on Amazon. Fans can donate or buy items that you need for better living.

[@water_lilyM]

u can also put a tube to the hole in that shower floor thing, to strain out the water.

[@prayalways8277]

Peño’s so sweet...sharing his pool w/ his mom...Where is he? Miss u Peño! ❤️🐶💋

[@kumihi5988]

I love watching ur channel! Whenever new video comes out, I check it out.

[@Xiallaci]

Awesome video. I've had a similar idea but got discuraged due to the impractical to-go showers/pools ive seen on amazon. The dog pool is an amazing idea! And you can even connect a pipe if you want to catch the water.

[@dorothysfriend]

You can also leave the water pump in the sun, because it's dark plastic, it will absorb the heat from the sun to warm the water. The other thing you can get is a solar shower, it's a black plastic bag with a shower head, you leave it in the sun to heat up and 'bingo' nice warm shower, very cheap, very effective. You can lay them on the dashboard of the van to warm up in winter.

[@niwakunndaisuke8862]

I love all your positivities sussi love you 🤗

[@honeymama985]

Im honestly just taking notes here at this point 😂💛thanks so so SOOO much for helping me with trying to figure out how I was going to place a full on shower in a vehicle 😂😂🥰🥰
