OZK Customs + Tetravan In Floor Shower Pan

If you’ve considered having an enclosed shower installed as part of your conversion van upfit, one of your concerns may be the space it would require. Even the most compact showers, the ones that give you just enough space to turn around and bang your elbows on, still encroach on about four square feet of living space. And your other option is an outdoor shower curtain and hose attachment, which especially if the weather is less than ideal, provides a less than ideal experience. Here is where the simple and incredibly functional and space-saving In-Floor Recessed Camper Van Shower Pan from Tetravan becomes a wonderful invention for adventure van lovers.

The Tetravan Recessed Shower Pan, which can be ordered with a Universal Magnetic Shower curtain has been meticulously designed to solve the ‘space’ issue often associated with enclosed showers. Rather than taken up several square feet of the entire space of your living area, this shower is installed in the surface of your camper van floor, completely out of the way. The Shower Pan sits 1” below your van floor’s surface, making it ideal for taller van owners! The cross break bottom surface directs water to a 1.5” central drain, and the set up requires even less space than the innovative Folding Shower from Tetravan, making this a straightforward, completely practical showering solution for even the tightest spaces.

The Tetravan In-Floor Shower Pan is built to last. The shower pan is constructed from laser-cut, heavy-gauge galvanized steel with a mini-texture black powder coat, ensuring easy cleaning, grip, and sturdiness. The interior dimensions measure 28” x 22”, and it comes with a thoughtfully crafted plywood filler piece sealed with a waterproof finish that fits perfectly in the shower pan when not in use. This offers a completely smooth surface, and is intended to be covered by the same flooring material used on the rest of your van’s floor, so it literally becomes almost invisible when not in use.

The Universal Magnetic Shower Curtain can be put up in seconds, hanging from carabiners or shower hooks attached to simple clips installed in your van’s ceiling. The magnetic fasteners sewn into the bottom edges of the curtain keep is securely inside the steel shower pan, and a specially designed watertight magnetic front closure ensure no water leaks out into your living area. Loops and grommets sewn into the top allow you to adjust the height of the curtain by another 3”, and it widens to 30” at the top, providing a little more elbow room for comfortable showering. The quick-drying, ripstop waterproof nylon curtain material dries quickly if left to hang for a bit – inside or outside – and can be folded up and stored in a magnetic zip bag inside the shower.

The Tetravan In-Floor Shower Pan and magnetic curtain can be installed in any Sprinter, Promaster, or Transit van. For taller van travelers, they may be an even better option than the Tetravan Folding Shower, as the pan is recessed 1” into the floor of your van, providing additional standing height. The Universal Magnetic Shower Curtain can be ordered in 70” or 73” heights to accommodate different van roofs. This truly is a one-of-a-kind shower system, made with incredible attention to the needs of the adventure van enthusiast!
