You hath further inspired me w/ my van as well. I have a 1992 Toyota Previa all wheel drive that one would find simply beeping when finished ! ! ! The galley take direction from you in the underpinnings whilst I use 1X1s & 2.7 mm. plywood. Though I have removed switches , controls , other such things that had weight serving no real purpose in a camper van .

@yzrider102 Yes, in the UK, it's much much much cheaper than buying a proper motorhome - not sure about the US or other parts of the world though.

Hello, just came across this site; nice van indeed. I'm thinking about a similar project in time. I've travelled round France in Toyota and VW campers and will take ideas from them. However not sure about the shower. Does the water come from the main tank used for the sink? How is it heated? Does it drain into another tank or to the ground? Is the van smelly after toilet use? Does the weight of the conversion affect the MPG much? Your videos are inspirational! Keep up the good work.

Hi.
Shower water comes from a seperate 25L plastic jerry container you take into the shower with you (pump motor drops into the tank - big on-off switch on the shower wall.)
All water is heated by the kettle only.
The shower has its own drain system leading into the grey water tanks.
Toilet is very clean and has no smell issues.
Might have lost a couple of MPG with the extra weight, but nothing major.
Glad you like the vids :o)

Great Van
The bathroom looks extremely small though- can you stand in the shower?

only if you are below 5ft 4in ! otherwise you have to lurch a bit - I'm 6ft 1, but still manage to shower successfully without any major issues.
