Product Details

Why a recessed shower pan

A fixed shower stall eats floor space you use every day. This pan sits flush in the floor and the bamboo cover makes it part of the walkway until you need it.

When it's shower time, flip the cover: the stainless rim on its underside holds magnetic curtain weights so water stays in the pan.

What you get

Ultra low profile shower pan with reversible bamboo cover and chrome pop-up drain
Flange and magnetic curtain set on the curtain set option (confirm contents with our team)

Good to know

Built by Tec Vanlife.

DIY FriendlyAdvanced

Drilling RequiredYes, the subfloor is cut to recess the pan

The pan drops into an opening cut in your subfloor, sits on a bed of low expansion spray foam and drains through the included pop-up drain to your gray water line. Placement depends on your layout and floor framing. Reach out to our team at products@sandyvans.com or (619) 812-1903 with planning questions or to book a shop install in San Diego.

Mistakes to avoid

Cutting the floor before mapping framing and the drain line
Setting the pan on bare high spots; support it with low expansion foam
Using standard expanding foam, which can push the pan up

Tools You'll Need

Jigsaw or track saw
Low expansion spray foam
Drain fittings and hose
Tape measure and level

How to choose a van shower pan

1. Space

Measure the floor spot first: this pan needs 28 x 23.6 in and 1.5 in of depth.

How to choose: If you can't give up the floor full time, choose a recessed pan with a cover.

2. Drain location

The off-center drain is placed to dodge common floor framing.

How to choose: Map your floor framing and gray tank route before picking the spot.

3. Curtain setup

The cover's stainless rim holds magnetic curtain weights.

How to choose: Want the curtain set too? Choose the curtain set option, add a curtain arm, and check with us on contents.

Before you order

Measure your floor spot
Plan the drain run to your gray tank
Decide on the curtain set

How this pan stacks up

Space: recessed 1.5 in with a walk-on bamboo cover
Drain: off-center, pop-up drain included
Build: welded, coated, fewer leak points

Will it fit my van?

It's universal. You need a 28 x 23.6 in spot where the floor can be recessed 1.5 in. Common spots are beside the sliding door, ahead of the driver side wheel well and near the rear doors, depending on your floor framing.

Do I need to buy a separate drain?

No. A chrome pop-up drain with a 1 1/4 in outlet is included.

What comes in each option?

The options follow the manufacturer's names: "Shower Pan + Bamboo Shower Mat" and "Bamboo Shower Mat + Flange + Magnetic Curtain set". The curtain arm isn't included. Reach out to our team and we'll confirm exactly what ships in each before you order.

How do I support the pan?

Van floors are rarely flat. The manufacturer recommends low expansion spray foam between the pan and the van floor for support, stability and insulation.

Can I use it for more than showers?

Yes. It's a handy wash spot for pets, boots and muddy gear.
