Bathroom Build Techniques

I used quite a few different techniques on this bathroom, starting with the walls -waterproof vinyl sheeting is probably my new favorite method.

It doesn't have all the seams of a snap-together wall tile system. It's MUCH lighter weight. It can be fastened securely with PL Premium. Looks just as good.

Second, I made a custom shower pan from plywood that integrates a slope to the drain, plus a flat platform for the toilet all in one. Coated with fiberglass resin for waterproofing. Shower pan is coated with mold preventing "Perma white" paint. This shower pan cost in total about $60 vs premade shower pans that run upwards of $300+. This method can be replicated for ANY dimensions so you don't have to rely on premade dimensions.

Im also using composite decking boards for the shower floor that will never get moldy or rot.

The bathroom is larger, allowing for a residential size-toilet. Much more comfortable.

I integrated a recessed medicine cabinet (again, residential) into the opposite wall for storing all toiletries.

Recessed dometic waterproof toilet paper holder.

Finally, I went with a recpro retractable vinyl bathroom door. Works better than a standard door against water, and can stay open leaving the entire space feel much roomier (and also brings in the aesthetic of the bathroom into the rest of the space.. when it looks this good, why not?)

POLL: Do you own a conversion?

I want to know where everyone's at with their own conversions/tiny homes.

Training has begun. So far they love the space and the main reason I built it.

2022 Techno Barbarian Build Order Guide
I suffered so that you don't have to


This guide serves as an outline for what I see as the optimal build order for just about any mobile living platform. The purpose of writing this was to not only to take notes for myself and my next build, but give a jumping off point for people who are doing their own builds and may be overwhelmed or not know where to start.

Following this guide should minimize the pain you experience during your build by having to backtrack, fix mistakes, and also allow you to plan ahead with confidence. 

As of Sept 2022 this is the order I would follow on my next build, but this is subject to evolve over time as I receive feedback and continue my own work.
