This video is about van conversion. I explain how I did my solar shower system, including specific features to be used with a van, a minivan or a car. It includes interesting safety features that I consider a necessity.
This video is related to a previous video about hygiene. I invite you to watch it:
• Avoid misery! (van fea...
In the video, you will be able to see parts of the converted minivan. If you want to learn more about the overall conversion, you are invited to watch my van tour:

This video is part of a series about van conversion concepts. Here’s my playlist:
• Eric's: van concepts
There’s also a playlist about Trips and Tips:
• Eric's: trips and tips
Give me some feedback! It is so much more interesting for me when I get feedback from you . I also really appreciate knowing from which state or country you have just watched my video. I enjoy sharing with people from everywhere.
This channel is based on decades of experience. Everything explained is authentic, genuine, and fully tested. Take note that I am not sponsored by anyone. You have my honest and raw opinion.

I am watching your videos from the UK. Having watched quite a few I must congratulate you on the quality of both the information and advice. I have spent a substantial amount of time in my own stealth camper. With many years in different environments and seasons over many many miles and the key is keeping it simple. All your advice and technical approaches are well grounded and work. For all those who aspire to attempt this adventure listen to the words from this man. I promise you he will save you money, time and so much grief. I so often tell people it only looks simple when you see someone doing something they know how to and understand it. Believe me that is not very often. Eric is just such a craftsman.

Hi from South Dakota, USA!! I've watched 100's of these videos and yours are by far the best in terms of simplistic innovation that is not over- engineered. I have a 2012 Honda Odyssey. I'm currently trying to devise a setup where I can keep one of the second row seats usable for when I'm on the road and then remove it as needed at night to pull out the bed.

Good morning to you, Eric Enjoys Earth! I come to you from the "thumb" of Washington in the Pacific Northwest area of the United Ststes of America. I am privileged to live near the beautiful Olympic National Forest, which is one of the world's few temperate rain forests. I always derive much good from your videos. First, there is your desire to help people succeed by sharing your experience- tested knowledge. I hope to incorporate much of what you have shared in your videos into a wheel- chair- user- friendly build for my family and me. Second, you share the how and why of each likely solution in such an accessible, respectful manner. Three, because of the first two, your videos remind me of my dear departed father, and the comments about customs officers wanting to open the ends of the tube reminded me of when I took fishing poles to Mexico as gifts to my late husband's relatives. Thank you for bringing good to our lives!

I want to thank you for your van life videos and your wisdom and experience that is awful nice of you to share with the rest of us. I worked hard all my life my wife passed away my kids are grown and I am going to enjoy my van life but I appreciate your wisdom and experience. I'm going to build my solar shower like yours and I thank you so much for all your tips and experiences save me the misery of building my solar shower on my van thank you so much. I especially never thought about launching the torpedo forward and putting the restrictions inside of the tube and I love your shower because it's simple. And I love how you pressurize it again thank you so much for your wisdom and your experience of Van life and willing it to share it with the rest of the world Thanks Danny Coffey 😁 I will be watching more of your videos on the reflectix and everything else that you have to share and offer thank you again

Hello from Boston, MA! I really appreciate the simplicity of your solutions. It’s easier for DIYers to replicate than the much more expensive professional van conversions. It’s also comforting that no permanent change is made to the minivan structure. This way, if a van life is not really to your liking, you are not wasting too much money and time anyway.

From Arizona, USA. Thanks, Eric. I investigated several of these tanks on the internet and wound up with one similar to yours. But, nowhere did I find anyone installing the baffles in the tube. I intend to modify mine now to include the baffles. If I plan to cross international borders I will also modify the ends to allow access. I was a divemaster for a shop in Tucson, AZ and we made 3 to 4 trips per month to Mexico and the Sea of Cortez. On one of those trips I was hauling 15 scuba tanks for the class in my pickup. Crossing on the return to the USA a new border patrol officer wanted me to dismantle all the tanks, but fortunately an old timer was there who recognized me as a frequent crosser for the shop and let me go. You never know what they will ask you to do.

Eric, thank you so much! I have used many of your ideas for my Honda Odyssey conversion and the result is that my van is much nicer, simpler and more practical than many others I've seen in my travels. Adding a shower is my next project so this video comes at a perfect time. Well done on adding the baffles in the pipe! I've been watching some ABS shower videos while I do research and you are the first person I've seen address the problem of water sloshing back and forth. I had already planned on adding them but hadn't figured out how yet, this is a great solution.
