Ode to be young again, this reminded me of all,the fun we had going to weekend outdoor concerts and camping. The van didn’t have a bathroom. We always camped close to the facilities. While living in Virginia, we rented a camping spot for the whole summer. We’d head there when we got off work.Cooked out with anyone who showed up. We love our musician friends that was some great times out sitting by a bonfire beside the ocean.The years of Harvey Walbangers, Boons Farms wines. You guys have fun.you can document all. Wow, I went before home computers.

Brilliant van conversion, having an outdoor shower is a better use of space, a pop up tent or two, they can be joined together, depending on the type, will make the adventure thrilling for the kids. They are also useful as a changing room, when you have visitors, and as a daytime kids wc, they can never hold it long enough to make it to a restroom.

@Amy Walker....they have both a potty and a shower. I am thinking the potty is a composting one since it was stored under the cabinet and they said they have an outdoor shower unit. So necessities are there and using them is part of the adventure. It's all how you look at it.

Great if you park up for a few days, extra space for the porta pottie and pet or young children to move around safely when you are meal prepping etc. Take a look at ladybailey caravans website.. go to shop on menu.. tap on awnings to get an idea. Can double or triple your space

The only thing that bothers me (no matter how much I try to not let it bother me) is when a van doesn't have an indoor shower/bathroom. But aside from the fact that this van is lacking an indoor shower/enclosed toilet, this is one of the best conversions I have seen.
