Having the luxury of a shower in the van is a major convenience! We generally shower every 2nd day, but sometimes every day depending on what we have been doing.
The Oxygenics Fury RV shower head has different flow settings:
Low - 1L/min
Medium - 2.5L/min
High - 4.8L/min

If you're interested in how I built the shower watch S1E5 of the Van Build Series. Having a shower/toilet in the van is next level and I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone doing a van build! Season 1 Van Build - bit.ly/VanBuildS1 Season 2 Van Build - bit.ly/VanBuildS2

Hey Jaz, a great tip for reducing laundry while living in your Van. Dry your face/hair/body with a small dry facewasher before grabbing the big towel. You can then with that small facewasher wipe shower surfaces then put it into the dirty wash. You'll be amazed that your big towel never gets dirty and is always dry when you grab it. If you do laundry once a week get 14 small facewashers they take up no space at all and they are dirt cheap. You'll find your sheets will even be cleaner because drying off with a facewasher actual makes your body cleaner because you're rubbing off more of the dead skin. Give it a go you'll be suprised in how many ways this little change makes a positive difference to so many aspects of Van life and even everyday life.

[@JaznLori]

Thats such a good tip mate thanks and it makes sense when you think about it, cheers I'll have to give that a go, cheers for watching mate!

[@karlbartelt3939]

I starting doing this after I went to Japan and saw people doing this at public baths, its so simple and life changing, I tell everyone like some sort of facewasher evangelist :P

[@Memyselfandvan]

I have to admit, I was laughing with you when you said, this is weird taking a shower on youtube, but in all seriousness, its a great demo mate, appreciate you taking the time, as you know, I'm planning a full shower and toilet, but with the toilet, I have decided to go the compost route instead now.

[@JaznLori]

Haha it was a bit weird :D Thats awesome I would like to know more about compost toilets so let me know how you go ;)

[@good4damoney]

I've learned so much from you. 3 months ago I finally bought a van. Now converting time

[@iveyivey1298]

I think your design is the most successful and practical build, very impressive !

[@JaznLori]

Thanks very much!!!

[@mr.p3567]

That shower toilet combo, is a game changer. the standard is set. I’m curious how a composting toilet would fare in place of the cassette toilet, but that’s still awe inspiring.

[@CITAP1]

So you couldn't persuade the Mrs. to do the shower scene!!! Joking... Your shower turned out great, watched the whole build. Love it when things come together as planned... Good detailed video. Take care...

[@JaznLori]

Hahaha thanks for watching mate! (Y)

[@FreedomStrider]

Thank you for sharing your usage numbers to put everything in perspective :D - Really helpful!!!

[@JaznLori]

No problems I'm glad they helped :)

[@BastionBuxBalthazar]

Been watching you since day one, your van build is literally perfect! Thank you so much for sharing so much detailed information! If I ever decide to do this, this information will be invaluable to completing the project.

[@JaznLori]

Thanks very much Alex for following along, and I;m so happy that the information can help you and inspire you if you ever did a van one day :)

[@lizjones8636]

The details in your videos are awesome . They are totally going to help me in my build. Thank you !

[@JaznLori]

Thanks Liz stoked they can help you :) enjoy your build too!

[@horstszibulski19]

Thx for showing how much difference the adjustment on that shower head does! You can tell how tight your door is, listening to the struggle of the vent, great! Thx for the vid! :-)

[@JaznLori]

No problems at all man, all to help ;) yeah it has a great seal which is just what we want (Y)

[@davewalton2358]

Very informative video, thanks for taking the time to let us know the numbers. I'm sure this will help a lot of people interested in living the van life! Great stuff!!

[@JaznLori]

No worries David thanks for watching stoked it could help!

[@MSmith-Photography]

Ep. 5 "Jaz Takes A Shower" Don't get too excited ladies. 😆

[@JaznLori]

Haha all for educational purposes :D

[@comeonwindows7]

Tip: Put a small vent somewhere now one can see and the steam or smell will escape

[@bugzie-a1769]

keep it up Jaz you doing very well mate, 40k subscribers, good job

[@JaznLori]

Thanks a lot Bugzie!

[@rifke]

Most comprehensive videos on the web. 8-)

[@JaznLori]

Thanks John very happy it has offered you value ;)

[@MichelleLevasseur]

As a 48 year old woman, I felt positively decadent clicking on the thumbnail of you showering - almost didn't do it as it seemed a mite 'cougar-ish' (even if I was the only one to know I did ) but I need to know about showers in a sprinter van lol! Thanks for another informative video!

[@horstszibulski19]

What would you think of me then as an 47yo guy watching a younger slim man in a shower? :-D I knew it was Jaz so there it was only for information about Sprinter van shower systems... ;-)

[@JaznLori]

Haha yeah I guess the thumbnail looks a bit sus haha, but hope it was a very informative video :)

[@JaznLori]

Glad I delivered on the information mate haha

[@MichelleLevasseur]

Travel with Jaz: It was actually very helpful to see a person using one as it is rather difficult to tell just by viewing it empty so, thanks for showering on KZbin ! lol

[@MichelleLevasseur]

Horst Szibulski: Ha! Well, we're a pair aren't we?! I've watched every other video of his and wasn't going to let information pass me by - so I'm a dirty old lady lol!!

[@pa_maj.MARTINI-van-MAN]

That shower head is a good piece of kit mate.

[@youtubxkip]

I think thermostatic mixer will solve your necessity to constantly switching to hot water.

[@jasoncolahan6399]

I know that was for information but that was funny. Your van is awesome.

[@JaznLori]

Haha i know all for you guys, cheers man!

[@matsf8268]

Teaching the world how to shower 😁

[@JaznLori]

Hope I did a half good job ;)

[@Jasfras1]

Great demo and talk through. Love your attention to detail. Nice one mate. p.s. 12v and gas is definitely the way to go.

[@JaznLori]

Thanks mate appreciate you watching! Yeah i think so too mate

[@janeysaenz868]

Awesome job! Great shower

[@malteweinreich8755]

Hiya Lorry and Jaz . Hope you doing well and good, Well Jaz your doing an awesome video again well done to ya :-)

[@nanakeyks]

I always wondered why you installed a separate hot water system instead of a combi boiler. That 5 second hot water sounds like an absolute luxury after a day out cycling or kayaking.

[@JaznLori]

Cheers mate it is super good having hot water at your fingertips in about 5 - 10 seconds ;) I am not to sure what a combi boiler is though sorry haha

[@СергейМайданник-н3з]

You are cool. Only like. Don't stop!

[@JaznLori]

Thanks mate

[@TheRealKalEll]

AWESOME shower stall !!!_!

[@JaznLori]

thanks clark

[@EatSleepVan]

Great video, cool to see how the continuous gas works in real use. How do you deal with the sea snakes and crocodiles trying to kill you in the bathroom all the time? I assume you have them cos you know, 'Straya.

[@JaznLori]

Thanks mate yeah its a great function of the van, love the instantaneous hot water system. Oh they're all our friends :)

[@fotballski]

Thank you for posting this! It would be amazing to have a shower in the van - I love the "bed in the back" solution because of the storage space it allows underneath for bicycles and surfboards and the like so hacking a full-size bathroom would take too much room. But oh man, do I want to take a hot shower inside on hot days! Maybe I can use some kind of pop-up shower curtain to save space... We'll see! Thanks for sharing your system bro - really appreciate it.

[@fotballski]

Found this setup for people that want to have a shower but need to save space: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqKmpH2Zj9uXsLM Genius!

[@JaznLori]

cheers mate no worries at all!

[@devconnell]

Thanks all the great info! I'm wondering what kind of exhaust fan you used in the shower? I didn't see it in your fan install video. Thanks!

[@dutchie7302]

Jaz great vid mate. In reflection, are you happy with the shower set up or would it have been better to separate the toilet from the shower? Im thinking it would allow a smaller shower footprint inside the van (giving back more precious space) and the toilet (porta potti type) could have been slid into the bottom of a cupboard or small locker. Only downside is losing a small bit of privacy. Your opinion?

[@JaznLori]

Hey mate no regrets I love it just the way it is and wouldn't want it any other way :) Because the toilet swivels you can sort of swivel it out of the way, and when you use it, you just swivel it out. There's no more room for a porta potty in a cupboard, I like that it is all contained in one bathroom

[@dutchie7302]

Mate informative vid thanks. Having now travelled and experienced your set up, what are your thoughts on having a porta potti rather than having the toilet in the shower? Accepting a bit of privacy from one another is lost, I'm thinking it would lessen the size of the shower therby freeing up some more space. It could be stored and slid out of a small side ground level cupboard? Thanks Jaz.

[@JaznLori]

Thanks very much man, glad it helped! In my opinion, I wouldn't change a thing. I love having the Toilet and shower in the "Bathroom", and since the toilet is fixed there is no mucking around ;) I know the shower is definitely smaller than you're average shower but we have fit 2 people in the shower so it cant be that small haha

[@manjago9821]

Hi jaz..are u coffee fan?..put the coffee maker if u want to

[@vanodyssey1659]

Is it possible you could do a video of you using the toilet for number 2 reasons?? Would like to see some sitting methods... Asking for a friend.

[@JaznLori]

Haha go check out S1E5 and S1E12, and maybe ever S1E15, that should have more than enough info ;) Also S2E3

[@bhp397]

Good job on water-proofing; roomy shower.

[@JaznLori]

Thanks a lot, it is a great shower I love it so much :)

[@bhp397]

Not at all claustrophobic?

[@fibranijevidra]

Thanks for demo. Find it helpfull. I really don't like how that water heater works. I was expecting it to be the same as the water pump.

[@JaznLori]

Thanks mate, I'll have to run a seperate video to fully break down the Hot Water System ;)

[@DaveHiggoHiggins]

Is this episode.. Jaz has a shower! Saucy. ha ha

[@JaznLori]

hahahaha (Y)

[@demenagementspeedy]

How much in total have u spend to build your van ???

[@JaznLori]

Include the VAN + VAN BUILD + GETTING SOME THINGS FIXED etc it cost AUD $63K I run through all this in S1E15 ;)

[@diepvan6824]

Do you have the link for the exhaust/light?

[@JaznLori]

i think it is on either blog post ep.9 or ep.13

[@donjones3355]

Jaz, I think you should redo this video. Have your girlfriend take the shower next time. ;-) PS...add your Amazon affiliate link to the shower head. Thanks for the info.

[@JaznLori]

Haha I know that would get 10X the publicity wouldnt it :D Okay mate I'll add it to the description ;)
