Sprinter Van Indoor Shower 2.0- Portable and Easy

Pete — Wed, 03 Jun 2020 19:41:31 +0000

Having a warm shower available in our van has, without a doubt, been a game-changer! We use it quite often on our adventures and the investment has paid off. There’s no better feeling than being able to shower and go to bed clean at the end of a sweaty day. The beauty of this setup is that it sets up in minutes, yet takes up very minimal spaces when stowed away. We’ve been using it for about two...

Fresh Water Tank Level Sensor and Gauge Install

Pete — Sat, 16 May 2020 05:06:12 +0000

Although our Sprinter van’s freshwater tank is clear and even lights up when the utility box is opened, opening it up is not always an option when we are fully loaded with gear and ready to hit the road. So we got tired of guessing how much water is in the tank and decided to install a gauge and level sensor. It was a very simple project that I have been putting off for much too long.

Sprinter Campervan Water System Install

Pete — Sun, 12 Aug 2018 01:29:00 +0000

Running water is a game-changer when it comes to camping in a van. We wanted the ability to shower and have a fully functioning sink for washing up and general kitchen duties. For some reason, many people don’t install a full water system. I’m not sure why that is because it’s fairly cheap and extremely easy to do. Having enough water to last 2-3 days was important to us, so we bought a 20 gallon...

The Van Can: A Sprinter Van Toilet and Ottoman in One

Pete — Thu, 02 Aug 2018 04:59:50 +0000

When building our van, we knew there would be no extra room for a built-in toilet, but we knew we would want one. Our toilet solution was sort of an afterthought, but the great thing about that is you are forced to get creative. Having front swivel seats in our van made us realize we wanted a footrest, or ottoman, for lounging. This is when I came up with the idea to build a box that housed a...

Sprinter Van Kitchen Galley: Our DIY Build

Pete — Thu, 26 Jul 2018 19:55:57 +0000

We designed the kitchen galley in our Sprinter van to be simple, yet functional for being on the road for extended periods of time. Our requirements were ample counter space, a fully functioning sink with a faucet, a few drawers for storage, simple gray water containment, and a large refrigerator. The cooking that is done in our van is pretty simple. We usually just use the JetBoil to heat water...

Building an Indoor Portable Shower for Our Sprinter Campervan

Pete — Sat, 14 Jul 2018 22:43:38 +0000

Showering outside or finding a shower while on a trip is not always an option, so we came up with an indoor shower idea for our Sprinter van. It is portable, collapsible, and rather inexpensive to build. First, we started with the shower pan. It needed to take up little space when stored, but be big enough to catch the water when showering. We used a Kopeks Outdoor Swimming Pool Bathing Tub...
