I BUILT A HIDDEN TOILET IN MY CAMPER VAN

[@stewartscales1564]

I can't get enough of these videos, you should be really proud of what you have achieved so far well done Shaun. 😀

[@LoveSundays]

Thanks Stewart

[@two4wheels]

For the front of the toilet, you could have created a groove on the inside of each of the batons (or space out two smaller batons) so the panel could have just slid down into place. You could then cut / drill a small hole in the top of the panel to get a finger in to act as a handle for easy removal.

[@LoveSundays]

Yea I might still do that as I think the ply will rub up against my legs

[@stevencox-qm9re]

​@@LoveSundays Plus by doing that and removing it prior to standing use, if your aim is off you won't destroy the ply... 😂

[@MrTerryb1956]

I would have said " more ball room " 🤣🤣@ 4:30 , this van conversion / build is a treat to watch I cant wait until its completed

[@micksmith106]

That vans coming on a treat now Shaun...No more bending down to walk round lol ...I enjoyed every minute of building Vicky, My van .Happy vanning mate.

[@jh2536]

The sound of the toilet sloshing was a particular highlight! 🤢 Love your videos and your projects Shaun. 👍

[@andrewrowlands]

Loving the new video you can tell everything is coming together and starting to look neat and tidy little suggestion maybe get a hard duty mat cut it and place it under the toilet with maybe a small handle on it attached so you drag the toilet out making it easy for you to take out without dragging it out on your new flooring 👍🏻

[@fishyweasel]

Your keeping me away from my fishing sessions again. This is going against the grain my friend. Great vids mate. Really enjoying this series.

[@douglas4487]

Great video mate. Flat head screws are for aesthetic reasons. Pre drill and fix by hand, keeps them clean

[@johndulling8831]

Nice to see you using the pocket hole jig game changer when you come to make furniture

[@LoveSundays]

Yea it was easy to use

[@JW-wp8rp]

when you build the door to go in the garage you could put a pull out table from under the bed.

[@RolyHough]

If you had the new, “in tank pump” fitted. The gauge sender unit is built into it….. it’s a faulty unit

[@StevenDavisPhoto]

Love it. I have the same toilet and have been trying to work out the best way to hide it in a cubby like this. The only thing I would change, is instead of the hooks and dowels, just using a few good magnets.

[@Petermcpete]

Great Vid Shaun. Coming on nicely. You've overtaken me and I'm only doing a Transit custom Camper. Flat head screws are usually used for visual reasons. Cabinet makers use them a lot and love to line up all the slots in an OCD style!!! I think they are for hand tools only. i chuck em out and use cross head for the sake of my fingers and mental heath!!

[@waynewiddecombe3502]

Hi Shaun fresh back from 4 days in Cornwall 👍😎 cadgwith was gorgeous you lucky man

[@arthurkettle3010]

Well that's a nice thumbnail to be confronted with as I sit down for Sunday breakfast...cheers for that

[@LoveSundays]

No worries

[@CampervanConversionCompany]

You bring back Spanish nightmares carrying around a heavy (full) toilet. I saw a guy full hazmat style to empty him. I've dropped you an email, hope it hasn't gone straight to junkmail. 👍

[@TheHodsocks]

If you search IPs panel clips you’ll find that they work excellent maybe for future builds

"safety Crocs" 😆is this where I say "touché"? Superb gadget for getting those angled holes drilled and that toilet is nicely hidden away. Another interesting video, cheers 👍🏻

Reason for slot screws is if u making fine furniture, the decorative more apealing to the eye.

[@LoveSundays]

I think you’re right

[@optic1972]

Lovely video again ❤ for your lift off toilet panel, grab some Hafele keku fixings. They are used on back to wall toilet fixings when you need to get a front panel off....they also pull the panel in tighter and will not rattle like a hook would

[@LoveSundays]

Good advice thank you

Isn't the ply from the toilet going to rub on your legs once you lift the lid?

[@LoveSundays]

More than likely

[@michaelkay1]

Totally agree with you flat headed screws are useless congratulations on the baby only just found your channel so ive watched all the new van build videos in one go ive really enjoyed them to the point im gonna go watch some of your other videos in the other van

[@LoveSundays]

Thanks Sally

[@renmusxela]

Hey Shaun, To Cut A Long Story Short, Phillip / cross head was created to solve a problem of flat heads being shit when you use a drill or a powered screw driver. if you have ever tried used a flat head in a drill/powered driver you'll know the pain of how badly it works lol. so if you need to use a drill /powered screw driver, phillips is the way to go... lol

[@LoveSundays]

Yea maybe I should’ve used a manual screwdriver 😂

[@anniemac3075]

Completely agree re flat head screws, they're absolutely useless & if there's ever a problem getting a screw back out in the future it's 99.9% of the time because it's not a Phillips. Hate the things & always use my own when buying something that comes with its own fixings.

What’s the plan for a hot shower then? A popup stall with a portable propane heater? I have a propane tank hooked up to a portable heater for use in the front yard (I don’t have a van lol). But I plan to use it for my race weekends when I take my race car to track and camp out there.

Were you not tempted to build a small shower/toilet 'room'? It would take space, but surely would be much, much nicer.

[@LoveSundays]

As I’ve mentioned in previous videos I had a shower once in a van and never used it. Overnight trips don’t need a shower and longer trips when you stop over in campsites they have showers

[@apaul9776]

@@LoveSundays Interesting. It is obviously personal preference, but with your high level of skill (and enthusiasm!), I would be more ambitious than 'bucket under the bed'. I have a VW T4 campervan which would definitely benefit from an enclosed toilet unit. I take your point about campsites, but the great thng about campervans is the independence they give. Nowadays I only use my van once a year for a festival. If I used it more, I would go for a shower/toilet unit and regard that as a good use of space. After all, what else is the space really needed for, except somewhere to eat and sleep, though perhaps not at the same time... Keep the reports coming!
