Plus, she can hang up some of her clothes instead of just folding all her wardrobe as we've seen in most conversion vans, lol.

A great idea 2in1: a wardrobe and a shower! This is the first time I've seen this.

[@ReclinerBabe]

Of course, the bathroom/closet is the kicker....but this design looks cozy, yet very functional in every way. Kudos to Dad. Think I'll watch it again, then put it in my fav. file.

I had this exact shower/closet idea a few years ago and wondered why people didn't do this. I am super happy to see you have made one. Excellent execution

[@Melissa-eo4zu]

Me too! I asked a few different people if it was possible to do and I was told no every time due to weight. Her Dad should patent this idea!

[@loucipher7782]

because most van dont install shower in there, they use outdoor shower or go to the gym you are basically introducing a moist problem for indoor shower weight is not an issue, you can just use that as a snack cabinet

[@andylifer5302]

That closet/shower is hands down the most unique and practical innovation in a van conversation ever. I’d think it would become standard equipment from now on on all van showers.

[@marycalta5661]

this van is fantastic. i really like these mini van houses. i think because when i was little i always wanted to be a turtle, and carry your home on your back! so these mini homes are basically people becoming turtles!!!!!!!!

[@jacemiller2593]

A armoire closet with drawers that slides to access the shower. So when your done showering the armoire closet slides back in place. Genius. OMG! So awesome.

[@davidr9876]

I'm a Dad and I came up with the same idea for a van conversion for my daughter, lol. I figured the shower space was not in use 99% of the time so you can use slide-out shelves to utilize that space. Your Dad's implementation is really well done and shows his craftsmanship. FOr those that already have builds done or who don't have the skill to build the cabinet, you can simply put a closet rod across the top of the shower and lift the whole rod and transfer it to a rod holder in the hall or behind driver's seat when you want to shower or use the toilet. That at least transforms your shower into a hanging locker and requires no building other than installing some screw in rod holders and cutting a rod to length. You can put a screw in each end of the rod so you won't easily dump your clothes while moving it (hangers won't slide off if you accidentally tilt the rod a little)

[@SilviaGaray-yx1rn]

Your Fathers Closet is the BEST ‼️. He should sell his design and or build for other👏👏👏

[@kabatsky]

That closet is simply ingenious!

[@davidroseitg]

wow just wow, that closet is incredibly innovative

[@eclecticapoetica]

The concealed closet / bathroom is a game changer, I was thinking along these lines but was considering a slide out , the swing out version is just as simple and keeps the passageway clear. It will work well with my design which is a full bathroom across the width of the van, shower one side and toilet the other side with two doors that pull across the passageway to make it one enclosure - the same swing out closet idea could be incorporated on both sides.

[@eclecticapoetica]

Take a look at this video for another version of the swing out shower closet kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaPVm3R9qJudaMk

[@Journey_Around]

I am also wondering if a slide out wouldn’t work really well. Of course, the layout would need to be a little different and it might be able to slide out over open counter space or over a seating area. I’m not sure how to the sliding tracks though… still some problems that need some more thinking.

[@elizabethnoakes8333]

VERY clever "closet/bathroom". Kudos to your Dad!!!

I love the closet/bathroom idea. I have been gathering ideas for a build & keep thinking how the bathroom is wasted space when not in use but that it would work well as a closet except for the hassle of taking whatever is in there out each time. This is a perfect solution.

[@backintogear9071]

this is THE BEST van layout I've seen

[@BernardSambre]

. Very personal ... but in the end 1000 times better designed than all the vans fitted out by so-called professionals. Magnificent achievement full of common sense and reflection.

[@annettepora8091]

I do not have a van but I have watched multiple videos. My observation is that a permanent shower creates dead space when not in use. So my imagination was fired how to use that dead space. Guess what? Your dad stole my idea? Lol. He is so creative.

That shower / cupboard space is an awesome idea. Not seen that before. Van is amazing!!

[@HabaneroTi]

I had a similar idea for a dual purpose shower/toilet and closet, but in my version the closet slides out. That wouldn't be possible in your setup because it would hit the stove, but I wonder if you swapped the sink and shower if it could be made to work. This would give you a bit more closet space because it would no longer swing out, and have both halves of the kitchen face each other and closer to the "living room" area. I also wonder if it's possible to use the back of such a slide-out closet as a shower/toilet door, for more privacy and soundproofing if someone else is in the van. Is there a fan with a vent in the shower, to dry it off and prevent mold and a musty smell and of course remove odors? In any case really nice execution of a really cool idea.

[@NevContractor1]

In an otherwise banal video, the circular wardrobe that recesses into the shower was inspirational. Your dad needs a pat on the back.Thx for showing.

[@franklintheman8310]

OMG that shower room is the best thing ever!!! love the whole van, but that shower blows me away!!

[@udmbfckx2916]

That is the right way to use all the empty shower space! Congrats! I always thought of something like this but like a hanging closet track on the ceiling where the clothes on the hangers would slide/roll out into the living space, enclosed in a clear heavy duty plastic wide garment bag. Now for my Sienna conversion, a large storage tote would fill in the place of the third row seat well, where a portable toilet (of your liking, home made or not) would go inside and act as a seat, as you seat in a West/East configuration and place a collapsible sink with clear hose as a drain opposite your head end draining into the same hole as your shower (holes on the side at the bottom). The Sienna has a specific rubber covered hole at the bottom of the this well, so no need to drill. Just make sure you have a heavy duty sink mesh for the mice not to climb back in and/or a stopper for when driving over a puddle of water.

Loved the shower/closet solution, but what actually made this one of my favorites are the diagonal cabinets over the bed... This shape makes the space feels larger and probably prevents clothes from falling off if the doors open sudenly. Great ideia!
