Just bought (picking up next week) 159" WB High top diesel promaster. Plans are to make the front half an rv and the back half for my tools supplies I travel all over (90k miles a year) repairing Metal fabrication machinery. Looking to eliminate hotels and those 2 to 3 hour naps on the front seat before getting home just want a bed a hot shower and a TV no toilet or no refrig or cooking... or fancy power lol most of my customers will toss and extension cord out the door for me!

Welcome. Looking forward to the build .

Refrigerator and cooking is a lot easier in a van than a hot shower.

Half a 159" for single bed and shower. Shore power. It's doable. At some point, though, I predict you'll figure it sure would be nice to have a cold drink. ?

I can get food and a cold drinks anywhere along the road but not a shower

Hi,
The shower is definitely the harder part.

There are a couple of simple commercial shower schemes that use the little 1 lb propane canisters to heat the water toward the bottom of this page: http://www.buildagreenrv.com/design-and-build-information-for-camper-vans/installing-a-shower/

I want something pernament I don't want to have to set something up. I don't think it will be hard at all I think I have a diesel fired heater lined up. I'll use a 36" shower encloser water tank and Pump... boom a shower.

I have a wall.... wood and myself do not work well together used Metal studs and 1" polyiso. Plan on covering the tool side with aluminum Diamond plate..

Given your trade I have no doubt you'll make a fine system. I have not seen anyone do a front half bed/shower install. Post plenty of pics please.

My old work van I made a set of ramps with hinges welded to the floor to load my snap on roll cart. Not quite sure what I want to do now... still deciding... which I will have to decide quick I'll be back to work Tuesday
