Building our Sprinter Van Bathroom + Shower

Adam has spent this week in Austin crushin’ our van build! In the last few days he has built the bathroom/shower walls, installed some plumbing and the shower pan, and started our closet build. We are not done with the bathroom and shower install, but things are coming along really well and we will pick up where we left off next time!

about us

Hi y’all! We’re Adam, Kathryn, and Kona, an adventurous married couple (+ pup!) living on the road in our self-converted sprinter van! You can often find us driving all around the US and Canada, scoping out the best coffee shops, eating tacos and ice cream (we’re a 5+ taco and 2+ scoop household), and enjoying nature.

Standing on top of Flattop Mountain at 11:30 PM! 🇺🇸⛰️ One thing we really wanted to do in Alaska is take advantage of the very late sunsets and do a midnight hike, so we headed to Flattop Mountain, which is said to be the most popular hike in the Anchorage area, to hit the peak at sunset (11:30 PM).

This hike is only 3.3 miles round trip, but don't let the distance fool you, you'll gain 1,430 feet of elevation and have to do some rock scrambling at the top. It is pretty intense for a short distance!

But once at the top, you'll have views of the Chugach Mountains to your left and right, as well as behind you, plus views of Anchorage and the Turnagain Arm. It's well worth the effort and despite being under 30 minutes from downtown, offered a much more naturey experience than we expected!

Hi! I saw in another video that you have two freshwater tanks attached for your water system – do you have any more information on how you did that or resources you used?
