Van With a Toilet: 5 Smart Ideas
Can You Install a Toilet in a Small Van?
Yes, even a small van can fit a toilet, shower, and sink. A 30 × 48-inch wet bath (10 sq. ft.) can accommodate a fold-down sink. Exact clearance depends on the fixtures. A portable van toilet can slide beneath a bench or into a cabinet. Another space-saving solution mounts a fixed toilet onto a reinforced waterproof shower pan. A separate floor drain removes shower water; the toilet connects to its own waste system. Custom Way installs toilets and handles water supply, wastewater plumbing, waterproofing, and privacy enclosures. We also customize bathroom layouts for Sprinter, Transit, and other compact vans.
5 Van Toilet Ideas from Custom Way
Space-Saving Toilet Setup for a Sprinter Van
We installed a toilet inside a narrow bathroom enclosure in this Sprinter van. Sliding doors save aisle space beside the kitchen. Meanwhile, white wall panels keep the interior bright. The toilet sits on a low floor pan beneath an overhead light. This private setup leaves the main walkway free for everyday use.
Toilet and Shower Combo in a Ford Econoline Van
This Ford Econoline combines a toilet and shower in one compact wet bath. The toilet sits directly on the shower pan, with a separate floor drain. A sliding door closes off the space for privacy. Purple accent lighting complements the wood interior. Outside, cabinetry and a full kitchen show how this design preserves living space.
Portable Van Toilet in a Mercedes Sprinter
A portable van toilet doesn’t require a separate bathroom. In this Mercedes Sprinter, we made room beneath a cushioned bench for a portable toilet. It stays out of sight when not needed, without using valuable floor space. This practical layout preserves the van’s seating, kitchen, and sleeping area.
Two Variants of a Bathroom in a Mercedes Sprinter
This Mercedes Sprinter originally featured a compact bathroom with a toilet, sink, and showerhead. Later, the owner wanted more room to shower while standing. We redesigned the layout, replacing the sink with a more spacious shower area. These two configurations show how Custom Way adapts van bathrooms to individual needs and preferences.
Custom Toilet Installation in a Ford Transit
For this Ford Transit, we built a bathroom with a toilet, sink, and handheld shower. Frosted sliding doors provide privacy without requiring space to swing open. Inside, white panels and a compact shower pan bring everything together. The enclosure fits directly behind the cab, leaving room for other van essentials.
