Hi Brian! I use a simple bucket-type portapotty called the Reliance Hassock toilet: amzn.to/2r0ecdO (but mostly for late nights--I use public restrooms where possible). And for showers, I have a popup tent and 12v powered hand-held shower--it works great >> amzn.to/2wCG5Mk and amzn.to/2yOKPSZ Let me know if you have any more questions!

Trees 🌲 Lots of trees nearby suffice as bathroom. Okay, granted, don't interrupt the yoga class by being too loud. Neighborhood pools are great for showering. I like to soap up, shampoo my hair fully and then quickly jump off the diving board yelling OZZY!! You'll have a good minute or two of pure shock and confusion before the I'M CALLING THE POLICE threat and by that time you're already applying the body powder and putting on your undies.

Thanks Shanna. Great information on the function of the Wayfarer van. As for sleeping, I did the math on the length of the cushions and I think that if a taller person wanted to sleep as a single without folding out the bed, they could turn the front box cushion 90 degrees and extend the bed cushion over the kitchen. It might be a bit narrow but wouldn't require a full set up. As for the people that are complaining about the cost: They are forgetting all the time that the owner of Wayfarer put in designing the components and trial and error in getting them right. They also seem to forget floor and insulation and think it's just the boxes that are 5 grand. When you add it all up, it's a good deal for someone who wants to get on the road and not spend many weeks (months) converting a cargo van

I love the ease and simplicity of this design. I reckon one could lift the kitchen boxes up on the box that sits across the centre of the van if the weather were rainy or windy and prepare some simple food inside the van. That is something I am looking for. All the kits seem to be geared for outdoor food prep... won't work comfortably with the crazy modern irish summers. Such a pity Wayfarer s not available in Ireland/ Europe. I love the simplicity and ingenuity of Ian Horgan's kit. Thank you Shauna for demo. G Ire

I was looking at the big Promaster after selling my truck and trailer. The mainstream RV stuff has just gone crazy big and i wanted to go back to minimalist. I looked at the City after seeing WF vans for rent up the road in SLC. I thought I would buy the WF kit, but there were too many problems for me. First, the PMC is a fantastic van, completely useful for everyday life. But you need it in a cargo configuration, or I do, so all the camping stuff has to either fit or come out of the van. The boxes are more work than I want. It's a nice insulation kit, and I thought about buying it, separately. But I bought $200 worth of Thinsulate and put that in the van. I also have a barrier between the front, to help on cold nights. The insulation made the van much quieter. I love how quiet it is. The electrical system is another minor gripe for me with the WF. I bought 50 watt flex panels, which are easy to store, very thin and light, and a lithium generator like the GZ. Yes, put that out in the sun. It makes complete sense. I might put a flex panel on top. I did want a 12v Danfoss compressor fridge. They are incredibly efficient, so you have cold storage with no real hassles except power. The way the PMC is set up, I am using DC power modules to get a charge into a couple of small AGM batteries (plus I have the lithium generator). You have to get comfortable with charging from the engine while driving, plus solar, and storage, but the fridge has low amp hour requirements. For supporters of Bob Wells, the 12v fridge is kind of a basic building block. I wanted a real chair with back support. So I have a nice lawn chair, a folding Walmart table, a floor pad from Jet.com, made for the PMC, and a roll up mattress with sleeping bag. The stuff is going into Cabelas duffles that hang down in back. I use a powder toilet. I learned a lot, looking at the WF designs. In the end, they have gone in the direction of relatively fixed (not entirely flexible) boxes. It's good to get ideas out there, to convince people that a very basic, high gas mileage cargo van can make a nice camper. There are just so many problems with big RV's, with huge trucks, with all the places you can't go, when you go big. I hope the momentum in vans continues to build. This is a great video, for Wayfarer, and for the concept.

Thank you, Shanna. I am almost surely going to purchase the Promaster City and the Wayfarer kit based on comparisons and your video. People who are handy underestimate the incredible value of a ready-made kit, not to mention something I could remove if necessary. We single women travelers, writers in particular, can be thrilled at having a regular car for driving around town and a "stealth" little camper for occasional trips. Yes, safety is sadly a great concern but following your blog and others helps me believe this is a fine option. Minimalist is what I want. Meets all my needs. Ford guy said Ford Transit Connects hold their value better than Dodge, but I believe the instant conversion kit will solidify my decision. Great ambassador!

Andrew Ditton I'm currently in Asia and here we have the really tiny "toy" vans / minivans that falls under the "kei car" classification and I'm thinking of turning one into a mini camper. These little guys have good engines, some are even 4x4 already. I won't be going "full time touring" but would love to have a vehicle for the weekend getaways. I'm loving the ideas I'm seeing in this video. So thank you for sharing this one. You may also want to add Japan and South Korea to your list of future destinations. We have something similar to NEC recreational vehicles show too. Also, you might find it surprising that China is another country with a booming market for campers and motorhomes.

@@anninriverside755 I believe the ones that you're seeing in the USA or abroad are the big campers usually built on Isuzu trucks because those are the ones that can be imported (usually 2nd hand) because kei cars are not road legal in the USA and Europe because of the engine. The biggest campers that sell here are often built on kei cars and under the JP¥5,000,000.00 Kei cars are easily turned into campers because we can fold the seats flat which can easily sleep two people. Honda N-Van which is the most popular kei car here even have the configuration called N-Van Access where accessories can be bought to easily turn the car into a camper.

I've already designed a side mounted Murphy bed system. Bed flips up against the driver's side wall (cargo van - driver side has no door, just solid wall). This creates a vertical post board of my scheduled things to do - like an office wall that pops up. The support box the bed rests on at night is a sitting bench storage box during the day. Allows me to sit on the passenger side of van facing the driver's side of van. Left, back door open, nice view. Right, spider open, air flow and view - plus I can see through the front windshield and access the van withing a step or two. The "jump pack" charger is something I did as well. No solar panels and mine was a $40 basic one - not enough for a night time fan more than 2 hours 😑 Never sleep in the van where you relax/enjoy/display the van though. You're just advertising yourself to the neighborhood. I prepped at night at grocery store. Ice from the soda machine into an animal crackers plastic teddy bear container (arrived as teddy, left as polar bear) and shopped food every other day. Drive, park, climb in back, sleep. Wake, move, park, jump bag for showering, and I'm gone on a bike. Return 45m later, drop jump bag for day bag and I'm off to enjoy the area - not my van. Live out of the city or town, not the van. I never cooked from the van. Urban stealth, not rural living 4 months went by easily. Go cargo! Conversion Vans are too obvious and lack the ability to modify them.

Wish I had seen this video sooner. Don't know if there were any folding bikes or trikes at the first annual Wayfarer Weekend of four days, but that event would represent the perfect opportunity for people to see how these simple van conversions and folding recumbent trikes go hand in hand. In the U.S., there are three American recumbent trike manufacturers. TRIOT trikes in Utah, Terra Trikes in Michigan, and Catrike in Orlando, Florida. The TRIOT trike is magnificent, but it doesn't fold up. It will be fine for putting in the larger Ram vans though. The Catrike EOLA is just out and check out their folding and easily rolling DUMONT model. As a writer, I challenge you to familiarize yourself with these amazing recumbent trikes and write about their merits.

For the average person that wants to take little trips here and there or decent road trips with out killing their budget over hotel stays. This is a decent set up. The Wayfarer system is a bit pricey in my opinion as a carpenter and former construction engineer, but again this is aimed at people that have no expertise in those areas and want a simple yet practical solution to turn their van into something more hospitable then a simple sleeping bag and a mattress or cot.

I've watched this a couple of times and really wish we could see it in use to answer some lingering questions I can't figure out! Like, where do you keep water? How about a cooler or other food storage -- there's so little space in the kitchen box! I guess you could put a cooler in the front seat but otherwise it would just end up taking all your limited remaining floorspace, wouldn't it? All in all I love the concept of this kit but would need to see a "day in the life"-type video of someone actually functioning with it to be convinced. It looks like you could achieve the same amount of storage and bedspace in a minivan or RV!

I predict that these economical van conversions are the wave of the future. And so are folding recumbent trikes. The two of them married up together represent an exponentially enhanced freedom and versatility that so many are yearning for. I see the Wayfarer people seeing this too and designing plans that allow for one or two or more of these trikes to be conveniently stored and transported to where safe riding trails are and safely away from dangerous traffic. The recent tragic death of James Dobson in Mississippi has made us all realize that long touring along busy narrow roads is far too dangerous. Not to worry though because this kind of van makes it possible to transport these trikes to where they can be ridden with absolute safety.

Thank you for sharing your power setup, incredibly invaluable! You were a pleasure to listen too. Unfortunately, I don't have this particular van, I hope they will make it for other model vans or rather make a more universal kit. I also think its extremely pricey for those with real-life financial concerns, they certainly won't be able to make this investment.

Great stuff. Very clever and practical. Thank you.I've watched a number of your Scottish Highlands and islands videos. Living here in Scotland I get occasional chances ( which I relish) to take a CalMac ferry. Having just bought a Skoda Superb estate, I am now toying with the idea of sleeping in it as I do the western isles.

I love this! Easy and exactly what I need. I would just add a microwave and a bucket for restroom needs…not a traveler. Just using it for super long breaks at work and to eat lunch happily-alone and in peace lol 😂

Neat system. My aunt has the amdro bootjump in her little berlingo, which is pretty similar.

I was looking at the amdro bootjump for my Berlingo van but the bed arrangement without having folded seats to rest it on is a faff.. the concept is great but I love the idea of this box system better.

Simplistic yet functional. While it may appeal to those who need a plug-n-play solution, I personally could never justify their asking price since I do my own custom work.
