When planning your custom campervan, concerns about choosing a bathroom are a common issue. Often, our clients are unsure which type of shower or toilet to select for their campervan. At Big Bear Vans, we offer a range of space-efficient bathroom options. From a compact aluminium shower to a self-sealing flush toilet, you can choose a setup that fits your van’s layout. This guide walks you through the van bathroom options we offer, so you can choose what works best for your custom build.

At Big Bear Vans, we offer a variety of shower options to our clients. The type of shower that is best for you depends on your van’s layout and travel style. Here are some shower options you can select from:

The aluminium shower box is one of our best and most popular indoor showers for campervans. This shower is super lightweight, easy to clean, and resistant to mold and rust. It means you don’t have to worry about the shower cracking or warping. Our exclusive aluminum shower box from Vankea comes in four sizes:

You can also choose the colour of the shower box from:

Charcoal Black

Off-White

Any type of toilet can fit in this shower box. You can also add other accessories to it:

This aluminium shower box is mostly placed inside the van, in front of your campervan kitchen.

Benefits:

Easy to Clean: The waterproof walls of the aluminum shower wipe down quickly and don't hold onto moisture or smells.

Very Durable: The aluminium material is tough, resistant to dents, and designed to last for years of travel.

We install outdoor showers in almost all of our campervans. Our shower system is built into a bench and has access to both hot & cold water.

You can use a pull-out curtain for privacy & a Bamboo mat for convenience.

The outdoor shower is best for your dirty gear and beach days.

Benefits:

If you prefer something more compact and multifunctional, then the inside the bench shower is the best option for you. In this shower system, we install a shower faucet and a shower pan inside the bench, along with a toilet. You get a sitting place as well as a bathroom in a single unit. A pull-out curtain can also be used for extra privacy.

Benefits:

Another option is a pull-out or a foldable shower if you want to save space by not installing an aluminium shower box. You can install this pull-out shower under the stationary bed or inside the kitchen cabinet.

How it Works: You unlock the shower pan, it falls, and then you have a faucet, a handheld shower sprayer, and a magnetic curtain that goes all the way up and hooks to the hooks on the ceiling.

Benefits:

The position of the shower in a campervan depends entirely upon the kind of shower you choose. Mostly, the positions of a shower are the following:

Inside your campervan, you can position the shower at multiple places, like:

Outdoor shower integrated in the dinette bench.

Rear bathroom: It has a shower, toilet, vanity, bamboo mat, and a curtain. The rear bathroom can also serve as a rear garage to store your gear.

At Big Bear Vans, we’ve tried & tested several campervan-friendly toilets and selected the best ones for you. Here are the options you can choose from:

The dry Flush toilet is a self-sealing, odorless, and waterless toilet that uses Automatic Thermal Waste Disposal Technology. It features a rechargeable battery, and with one full charge, you can use it for 70-100 times.

How it works:

You don’t have to see or smell anything, and there will be no leaks or spills. The toilet comes with 2 rolls of garbage bags (30 uses per roll), 60 coagulant pouches, a charging cable (14V/2A), and an instruction manual.

A modular separating toilet is an odorless toilet that separates solids from liquids. The cool thing is that you can use this toilet in three ways:

Chemical Toilet: You can use it as a chemical toilet if you’ve dump points nearby. Just add chemicals. And it’s ready to use. You just have to grab the container to easily dump it at any dumping point.

Bag Toilet: If you’re camping far away from any dumping stations, you can use it as a bag toilet. First, remove the liner frame, insert the bin liner, place the lid, and use it conveniently. To dump, grab the bag, give it a twist, tie it, and throw it away.

Composting Toilet: You can use the modular separating toilet as a composting toilet by adding only some wood chips to it. If it doesn’t decompose properly, you can just empty it into a compost pile.

The toilet comes with a urine compartment, an eco or chemical compartment (your choice), a pooker stick, and a spray bottle.

The cassette toilet features:

This portable toilet also has a removable seat for easy cleaning and a rotating elbow for clean, distant waste disposal. A scrolling color display shows the sewage tank level to prevent overflows effectively.

Waterless & chemical-free, this electric toilet uses a cartridge system. It is a 100% odorless and easy-to-use toilet.

How it works:

This electric toilet comes with a battery & charger, a bottle of pee powder, and 2 cartridges. Each cartridge (comes with 11 cartridges) is usable for 15 solid flushes or 28 flushes when using the included pee powder.

The composting portable toilet is a waterless, chemical-free & odorless toilet.

This portable toilet has a large separator that keeps solids and liquids separate to prevent any odor.

The urine holder has a capacity of 1.2 gallons, and the solid waste holder has a capacity of 1.6 gallons.

You can use a pee powder to control odor. The toilet also comes with 10 recycled bags.

Toilets are mostly placed inside an aluminium shower box or a rear bathroom. If you don’t prefer to have a shower box in your campervan, then the portable toilet can be placed under the dinette bench.
