We intentionally did not do this, and while our solution worked for us, it may not work for everyone. It makes the build process easier and gives you more options for eventual shower wall coverings. I recommend creating as many straight walls as you can to build on in this space. Keep your own tolerances in mind (and then go a couple inches bigger than that if you have the room). This is very small for a shower - but we are very small people, and it’s comfortable for us. Our shower is not a traditional square - it’s about 33” wide, 33” on the longer side (towards the cab) and 24” on the shortest. Showers that are uncomfortable to use often just become storage closets. A standard small shower pan for a house is 36”x36” - if you’re going smaller than that, proceed with caution, even though lots of smaller shower pan sizes exist for RVs. I highly recommend taping out a box on the floor where you plan to put your shower in the size you want it to be, and then standing in it. You’ll also want to make sure your shower is big enough. It helps to have a plan in mind for what your shower will look like at the end to know where you want to add extra strength - are you adding a shelf? A grab handle? Make sure there is support where you need it. You’ll want each of the four corners to be well supported, and you’ll want a number of supports running horizontally as well for added structure. 2x4s would also have worked and provide even more strength. We used 2x2s and I would absolutely not go smaller than that. You need a solid frame in the area you’re building your shower. That said, here’s the order in which we worked when it came to our shower stall, alongside some useful stuff we learned along the way. There are TONS of ways to go about every conversion project, and we are by no means contractors.

Let’s look at materials, order of operations, available fixtures and water heater options, and how to use tile effectively in something that moves.Ī note - I’ve linked to several products that we used throughout our shower build in this guide. That said, there’s a lot to consider when adding one of these to your shuttle bus build. Having a comfortable, functional shower in your rig is a luxury that, in my opinion, cannot be overstated. Honestly it might even be my favorite thing. I say this emphatically - the shower we built is in my top three favorite features of our build.
