MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
My campervan:
At the back right of the van is a room 1m x 0.6m that you can stand up in.
Currently it is carpeted and wallpapered (don't ask), and I have my wee portaloo in there.
I would like to use it as a wetroom - for showering and drying clothes and boots.
It has been a shower room in the past - there is a window vent in the roof, a pole for a shower curtain is in there and there is a drain hole in the plywood underneath (can see it from under the van).
I am trying to think of how to do this.
Couple of ideas:
Put wet wall on the sides along with a shower tray over some or all of the floor.
Put wet wall on the sides and on the floor - I could screw the toilet down on to it (I have a mounting kit for it), but I think a wet wall floor would be slippy.
Also, wet wall is expensive and I am poor.
A pal suggested just painting the entire room in pickup truck bed paint - would be tough and waterproof, but a bit ugly, though I don't really mind that.
Something called Microconcrete popped up in a google search, but I have no idea about it.
Or could I put some kind of tough vinyl on the floor/walls? Though I guess that would have a few cuts/joins...
What do you guys think - pros/cons?
Or any other ways of doing it I have missed?
See if you can get a off cut of EPDM roofing. You will have to be good on your detailing to make good corners.
Also make sure you have fall towards the drain.
Looking at this myself for a Ducato XLWB camper build so comments are from my own thoughts so far..
Not sure what you're headroom is like but to avoid adding height with a shower tray installed you could use thick abrasive vinyl type stuff on the floor and just install your own plug/drain straight through the floor (this means direct air hole out your van though). You would lap the vinyl up the walls about 150mm or so. Then either vinyl or some kind of wet room wall material on the walls and ceiling, seal with silicon. those seals are the most important part of the build unless you put some kind of secondary waterproofing behind. I feel like you could get some vinyl for pretty cheap for this, size wise it must be about 'offcut' size so you could probably make it from bits out the bin or leftover from someone's house fit?

Then something over the top to provide a wear surface you can clean...
