CAMPER VAN SHOWER BUILD with FLEX SEAL #flexseal #vanlife

#bigloganchannel #vanconversion #vanlife
We are putting flex seal to the test in this DIY camper van shower build as we create a unique approach to an indoor convertible shower! We are excited to innovate with this diy van bathroom application.

Join along in this full build series as we convert Peggy the Promaster into a camper van!

This isn’t the way to go if you want a long lasting permanent shower. Flexseal flakes and peels off after regular use, or even very careful use. It’s also highly toxic despite what the commercial says. Short term, yes, but why go through all this trouble for short term. If you want something longer lasting, this ain’t it. Go with the more common materials van builders use to waterproof their showers. There is a reason why Logan is one of the few people with a video on using Flexseal. This is not a good solution. It’s experimental and after trying it myself, really wished I had not wasted the money and time. It will last a year at best, but it’s already getting damaged from regular and very careful use. I’m a full-timer in my van. I’ll have to redo it at some point which is a waste of money and time. Learn from my mistake listening to this “YouTube Influencer”. Don’t do it!!!

Hey man great job on this shower pan. Phenomenal idea using flex seal. I’ll need to try that myself later on good job man

[ShuasiBjorlen]

Well done and nice idea. For future reference (and for anyone else thinking of doing something similar) the flex seal coats actually bond together much better and create a longer lasting barrier when the second coat is applied before the first coat has completely dried (a very slight tact to the touch is ideal).

Curious if you have posted a one-year update on your flex seal shower pan. Cracks? Leaks? Did it hold up to shakes, bumps and general punishment of the road? Punishment of use? Did it rattle or squeak? What would you do to improve upon it?

[maxxonetwo]

Stand up in the shower and see if the floor cracks or the flex seal. Nice work.

I like the concepts you've Illustrated in building your own pan. If I may make a couple of suggestions. Instead of using the quarter inch Lauan you could use FRP. Also instead of using the Alex caulk you could go to a quad elastomeric caulk instead for a long-term flexible seal and a moving vehicle where vibration can be a serious issue. But once again great job on your project. I especially like the beep your plumbing parts underneath.

[lynnsheffield]

This was great!! I've seen quite a few fiberglass campers without a shower. This inspires me.

[Nesmaniac]

Great idea especially when every inch of space is crucial.

[mowglie]

How is it holding up so far? Would you still recommend this setup?

[shanemulligan]

Awesome idea, turned out really nice. I’m interested to see how it holds up over time. Worst case can just add another coat if needed. I used flex seal for my maxxair fan install and it did the trick, has started peeling a little in a few places but it’s out exposed to the elements 24/7.

Funny we are doing the same kind of shower. Glad I'm watch you make great content as well. Keep up the good work. I'm excited to see this flex seal work over time.

Let me tell you flex all that product is excellent I used it to rebuild the heels on my boots instead of paying $45 of the shoe store

[jewdd]

Fascinating, I don’t know if probably want to try a Schluter product first just because I’d hope that thin plywood would hold up long term under weight of water however it’s a neat alternative, inexpensive and so happy you could fit the plumbing below the flooring. I just watched a guy (he’s a highly skilled woodworker/craftsman totally bomb on his shower plumbing by installing it above the floor which means his head is an inch from hitting the ceiling so I’m glad you have room, everything’s concealed and I hope this lasts a very long time

[cyrilmoussoki]

Thank you for sharing.
Keep up the good work.

Great job. Loved how you sloped the pan. I build a wooden shower pan as well, sanded the crap out of mine to get a slope lol, but I didn’t use flex seal. Didn’t like the way it cures. After it cures, you can dig your finger nail in that stuff and create cracks in your rubber. I used polyurethane (boat paint), cures hard and hard to break. Also thought about using epoxy resin, but polyurethane melts at a much higher temp. Was worried about the hot water in the tub. You did a great job! Shower pan looks great!

[NZdiagnostics]

I think it would be very interesting to try this with spray on truck bed liner. It would likely leave a really nice looking finish too.

[AJDay-khud]

I'm to see this video, I had been wondering if flex seal was usable for showers & you proved it! Great job!!!

[darrellblair]

What a smart idea using flex shield. This stuff is great for almost everything. Enjoyed your video. 👍👍👍

[temssky]

👏👏👏 well done brother... freakin brilliant.. I drooled a lil on that one.. makes complete sense using flex seal.. gonna be incorporating this idea into my pop up renovations I'm doing this summer. Thanx for sharing.

[victoriaconners]

Sure glad you did this. I have been using the Durastall-Mustee. I was thinking of exactly what you accomplished. I like your build better because my thoughts were to use the sticky tape in the joints and then paint over. My minds eye dais that it would not look good. You proved that!
