Van Build Shower : Installing the Shower Framing

In this van build video, we tackle a challenging job to turn our van into our dream travel vessel, it is not a ‘how to’ video but you can watch as we fail and succeed and maybe you will learn some tips along the way.
In addition to the shower frame, we install swivel seats in the front of the van to increase our seating options and make the space more versatile. You'll see how we go about removing the old seats and mounting the new ones, as well as the benefits of having seats that can rotate 180 degrees.
We also took a day trip to the Isle of Wight using chatgtp itinerary and it did not go to plan…
Come with us as we figure it out and leave any tips or comments for us - it always helps!
Fancy helping us out with a coffee? :)

About Us
Welcome to Life Adventure Projects, we’re Andy and Sophie and last year we made the decision to work on changing our lives for the better. We’d grown tired and weary of the rat race, only living for the weekend or looking forward to a holiday once a year, so we made a plan to start working on projects to improve our lives.

Thanks so much Paul, we will be showing this in the next video so hope to see you there! I’m biased and think the wheel arch boxing is awesome because I did it (Sophie here!), so hope you agree 🤣

Ever thought about putting something on the drivers seat so when it’s swivelled round you can lock it, be hard for a thief to steal the van if they can’t drive it 👍

Ok! so !Really great video both, love it ,big yellow bird is coming on brilliantly. Step in front of the seats could double as storage or for a diesel heater (unless you’re thinking diesel heater under the seat) I wouldn’t worry about the cable under the seat if you haven’t got that type of seat ,I guess they make them standard. I’m no expert, but although that ceiling in the shower looks great ,steam and water may make it swell . So protect it , plastic covering ,also heard you say tank, so you’re on the right track , how about venting too ? . There must be videos on line fitting showers , sorry iv been no help , but just some things you may want to think about. Not impressed with the needles either, don’t see the point 😂😂 get it . Good luck 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Not sure if you've already fitted a diesel heater. But if not, it could go inside the seat step. Also, you could put a drawer/storage under the table's raised floor.
@lifeadventureprojects
@lifeadventureprojects Год назад
Great ideas! We think we're going to go for the Truma combi which is heater and water heater, so think it might be a bit big unfortunately, but if not that's a great suggestion. Some storage might work there though, got to use all the space effectively! Thanks very much for watching, we really appreciate it :)

Soooo many things to do! Must be hard to make sure you do things in the right order all the time so you're not backtracking too much or having to undo things. Sorry to hear that IoW was a bit closed but don't let it put you off going again. And it was a day away so that's good just to put the van off your schedule for one day at least. Looking forward to seeing how the shower progresses xx

Drive a hole in the wheel well and you have a ready-made "porta-potty" . Self-cleaning because of the rotating wheel underneath! ;-) Don't visit the same spot twice though! [Kidding]

Catching up with binge watching slowly. Cardboard boxes could have been used for space awareness, what size things go where, and could help with templates too. But that was a week ago...

Hahaha yes could have worked a week ago perhaps 🤣 it is actually a good idea though, and we may do something like that for a few parts, we definitely have enough cardboard from everything that's had to be bought for the van! Hope you enjoyed the binge, we're so glad to have you here!

Your seatbelt sensor has been written out the ecu. Due to the jump seat that was fitted and not a double or single seat don’t worry about it as long as the new seat seatbelts work and the seats are secure that’s all you need for the mot

Not finished watching the vid yet fella, but just had to message first, been meaning to reach out to you guys for a while now. Your ceiling is spot on. Probably the best if seen done, you've finished it off really, really well. (I think Mel even mentioned it a few weeks back too) You probably know this already but something you said in the video how to line up things straight. Always use the floor as your straight edge and go 90° from the floor using a square. That way everything is square and it doesn't matter if the van is level then or not, BNQ sell one for about £9. One quick question. Where are you getting the Nautilus shower screen from if you're based in the UK. I can't find any suppliers. Awesome looking van, you're doing a spot on job throughout.....I know you say that you're just winging it. TBF, you're doing a great job guys. Keep at it and happy camping. J

Right finished watching now. Lads had a hair cut, looking good fella....you're still punching though mate, still punching. Hehehe. On the seat clip there is usually a clip on the passenger seat (also yellow I believe) if yours hasn't got it, it may have been removed by the seat supplier. And yes it's for the seat belt/airbag system/warning alarm. Try to get it sorted if you can before your next MOT.....I'm not 100% sure but I think it's a checkable system (I may be wrong) if no amber lights are highlighted then I think you're alright however. Remember your cab had a flip down seat but all these vans start off exactly the same with the same wiring looms (DHL put extra in, all other looms are factory fit including this one) best people to speak to are Greg Virgo on this or Mel both have a wealth of knowledge on sprinters both are the go to guys for advice. Both are sound too. Lovely van guys and lovely couple. J

At 3 mins 50 seconds in have a watch. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--U9boeejAy0.html If you have no warming light or audible sound then yours may have been disabled. Or some sneaky garage mat have removed the fuse for the warning light (that does happen too) Have a look at the next clip below (it's not the same issue as yours but the principle is the same) Like I said if your warning light isn't on, then I don't think you have a worry on MOT side of things

Hey mate, so sorry for such a slow response in this! Illness and job and all that jazz. We are back building again now though. Just wanted to say thanks for the advice, the 90 degrees from the floor makes totally sense! As for Nautilus we are planning to get from America, just import and be patient ! There are UK alternatives but just not as good. Oh and yeah I most certainly am punching, but I am way cooler. 😎 haha. Thanks for watching bud and the feedback, does not go unnoticed!
