The cedar looks amazing and your entire van will smell great all the time! Visitors will never know you poop there. I do have just a heads up on the composting toilet. The natures head has the worlds smallest fan in it and will always be overpowered by your ceiling vent fan. So if you poop don't turn on the ceiling vent or all the aroma will come out of the toilet and into the van. Probably while you're making dinner. I replaced our natures head fan with a HUGE 5 inch on the exterior of the house when our small fan broke. It made a world of difference. I also did a video on our channel if you want to check it out. It's called Tiny House Composting Toilet: Nature's Head DIY Fan Upgrade. Keep up these videos you guys are awesome and deserve a million subs!

@dogcatmanvan Год назад

Thanks for the heads up! We'll check out your video and do the swap.

Just the thumbnail....🤣🤣🤣 I have to catch my breath back from laughing before I watch the vid. 😂

@roannathephoenix8561 Год назад

I absolutely love watching you two. I'd watch you just doing mundane everyday crap because I love your sense of humor and smart/blunt comments. Your color pallette is chef's kiss!

@jfxl1977 Год назад

🤣🤣🤣 That intro...! And the video and sound effects are a riot! Reli's ears catching on fire was hilarious! That is a very cool wet bath. You two do some amazing work, figuring out how to put all this together. Thanks for the laughs and the knowledge!

@morgananderson9647 Год назад

The project is coming along so nicely!!! The design ascetic you've chosen for the interior appears to match both your combined personalities perfectly. This van is going to be well suited for your future adventures. I think you and Julie are such a great team! In your next video, if possible could you share how Julie's recovery from her head wound is going? Wishing her (& you) all the best. Thanks for all the great videos!

@dogcatmanvan Год назад

Thanks Morgan! We can do a little progress report on Julies injury before we hit the road.

@MartianBTP Год назад

loved the fire ears

@gregvittore5004 Год назад

😂😂😂 You made my day guys! Thank you! Nice wetroom! If you route hot air inside you can use as a dry room in winter. Good job and "schein chrëchtdag"

@DzinEye Год назад

That graphic you guys did of the dog ears catching fire when Julie was playing with 'em made wife and I ROFL... too good. I think the vertical side walls looks just fine. Thanks guys... Merry Christmas

@dogcatmanvan Год назад

Glad you got a kick out of the friction fire!

@my_van_apartment Год назад

Now that’s commitment to the vids shaving 😆 looking great and nice to see some colour in a van. My one rule when I built was no white 👏🏼

@lostphotographs3936 Год назад

Those Cedar strips... I would have returned due to inconsistency. Good look though, happy holidays !

@dib4152 Год назад

Entertaining and informative at the same time. Don't go changing!

@scottlucas4408 Год назад

Best laugh whilst being informative brilliant. On another channel they had a heater outlet by the toilet so they used the room a drying space for wet clothes and it gets rid of the moisture

@dogcatmanvan Год назад

That's an interesting idea

@madelinecandre Год назад

Leaving a comment for the algorithm bc I think you deserve more views 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

@dogcatmanvan Год назад

Thank you!

@LaurBeth Год назад

I am in love with the design choices you two have made. 😍 Color! Pattern! Not boring white. So, want to build out a van for me? 😉

@dogcatmanvan Год назад

Maybe after we do some traveling in this one!

@rojergrison3752 Год назад

So nice to see all the upgrades on this van . Especially Julie , the old girlfriend was kind of stiff and unresponsive .

@lostphotographs3936 Год назад

She had a bit of an inflated opinion of herself.

@gaiaendeavors Год назад

incredible!!!

@rav4living Год назад

Weird how you can still smell the cedar. Weird but a good thing.

@teresawedgeworth4698 Год назад

Cut one long peice of plexiglass to fit and use clear sealant to seal it around the edges or maybe cut it in many pieces in the shapes of your ceiling and stain them like a stain glass window and seal it

@teresawedgeworth4698 Год назад

Oh and maybe only seal the top and sides in case moisture builds up behind it and it can drain out the bottom. They also have peal and stick stain glass mural that is water proof I think

@billblecher9215 Год назад

Yeah I want to see it it looks good

@jcbaily5559 Год назад

Happy Holidays guys!!!!!

@dogcatmanvan Год назад

Happy Holidays!!!

@BdManus Год назад

Great design and build. You two work well together. Maybe you could use a rubber vehicle trim molding to seal the door.

@dogcatmanvan Год назад

I like that idea

@rmontena4583 Год назад

You guys are always entertaining :) That wet bath is sure minimalist but well done. See you next year :) Rich

@gigacardoso Год назад

That bathroom looks amazing!! I'm currently in the process of converting a van myself (making videos aswell) and opted to not have a bathroom cause it felt too scary, but I'll take one of those if you wanna come build it 😂

@dogcatmanvan Год назад

Maybe once we forgot how much a pain in the butt this one was to make we'll come build you one!

@lisamillard1272 Год назад

your talented guys amazing wet room and happy holidays to you both.. stay safe and warm

Happy Holidays!

@cesalt2408 Год назад

This was a great video, and I appreciate the creativity and evolution from the original van shower. Enjoy your creation!!

@robinpaglomutan9316 Год назад

😆 You guys always crack me up 🤣. Very entertaining! However I am concerned that the final sanding you did to the shower removed the protective coating you just put on...

@dogcatmanvan Год назад

The sanding barely did anything. It just helped smooth some of the brush strokes out. We would've melted our hands off from friction with 4/0 steel wool before it removed all those coats of urethane.

@DaveBooda Год назад

This is just a theory, haven't tried it but for a solution to the shower door water proofing... what about installing a 3-4" flap on a piano hinge that can close over the gap and magnet to the door? So you'd close the door, then close the flap. You couldn't do a similar thing on the bottom of the door too, but it would need to start from the door and flap down. Just an idea, no clue if it would work. Great video! Love the editing and the vibe.

@keliplourde5601 Год назад

@alexwyler4570 Год назад

What were the disadvantages of a Nautilus door? besides the money? Future video? Thanks!

@dogcatmanvan Год назад

It was just an aesthetic choice.

@colleenberry7348 Год назад

Hey! Did y'all think of doing a barn door to save space? And how about frosted plastic window where the black triangle is! I've been watching since you did the Promaster. Now I have a Promaster and you have a sprinter! But still learning a lot. THANK YOU!!

@dogcatmanvan Год назад

We did think about doing a barn door, but it would bump out into the hallway which would reduce our walking space. The black triangle is our chalk board, but frosted plastic would've been cool.

@alexwyler4570 Год назад

Nobody ever addresses how the wet bath can be where you hang your wet clothing, your snowy snowboots after an outdoor event. When you come back to your van all wet, it is nice to have a place to put the wet clothes out of the way.

@dogcatmanvan Год назад

Yeah you're right. I've used my wet bath for wet suits, damp snowboard gear, snowboards, and dirty boots. It's a nice storage closet at times.

@Swimdeep Год назад

Had trouble listening at the beginning b/c of watching J start a fire🔥 i think i would have added a layer of 15lb roofing felt under the cedar but nicely done you two! 💦

@Swimdeep Год назад

Re: Shower door. Can you make the Nautilus Retractable Shower Door work? If the width interferes with the toilet coming out, you could recess the housing into either side. Or you cut a piece of plexiglass on floating hinges.

@dogcatmanvan Год назад

We don't have the room for the Nautilus. I've been playing with some of the water tight trim stuff they use on glass shower doors

@Swimdeep Год назад

@@dogcatmanvan Right. Left a comment on the plumbing video about that…What about attaching the seals to the inside of door itself? That way it could be left open to dry and prevent mold. Pro Tip for seals: Keep a small fine mist spray bottle of distilled white vinegar with your toiletries and spray on seals after showering. The vinegar inhibits mold/mildew growth and accelerates drying. 💦

@skydawson3147 Год назад

I’ve always wondered what people do to protect the natures head wire when showering. You don’t have to remove the toilet & tuck the wire back every time you shower right?

@dogcatmanvan Год назад

I have a little cover for it that I didn't have in time for filming. I can include that in a future video

@blainkristindavis2261 Год назад

Love the videos - Question about the fan hook electrical. Do you have to unplug it during your showers or is it protected somehow from getting wet?

@dogcatmanvan Год назад

I've added a little cover to protect it from getting weight.

@rms1154 Год назад

Great job you two! Curious if the ceiling fan will overtake the compost toilet fan while pooping...?... Bad on a hot day! You may want to consider venting somewhere, maybe lower on the wall or door??

@sandraadams4940 Год назад

How about one of those rubber thingies you tack onto a door to keep out the cold air.

@dogcatmanvan Год назад

We played with that idea, but I don't think it's enough to keep the water out at the bottom of the door

@sandraadams4940 Год назад

@@dogcatmanvan I think you should play with it some more.

@crystalrockbc Год назад

curious as to why you guys didn't red guard under the cedar planks? looks great!

How do you change your filter cartridges without spilling water in the plumbing cabinet?

@dogcatmanvan Год назад

We wait until we've used all the water in our tank and flushed the lines before removing the filters. That way there's no water spilled.

@MaximC Год назад

Never mind.

@277kne Год назад

If I wanted a 24" wide interior in the shower,what size shower pan would I need? And would a wider shower pan affect the room in the van?

@dogcatmanvan Год назад

You can get a 24 inch wide shower pan and use thin wall material like FRP and you'll be very close to having a full 24 inches toward the bottom of your shower, but depending on the type of van you have, you're going to lose around 4 inches or more toward the top due to the taper. The bigger the shower pan, the less room you'll have to work with on the opposing side of the shower.

@277kne Год назад

@@dogcatmanvan Thank you for your help. Do you have any suggestions where to get a shower pan. Would 30" wide be too large for the space? I like the cedar. I've found a few vans on line. One is a Sprinter with low mileage. And there were a few gas engine ones. The prices range for 2012 to 2014 is $39,000 to $50,000.
