Tetravan has one mission: to build a better van shower.

As a professional van outfitter, our friend Julian at Tetravan noticed that while many vans are equipped with nearly all the comforts of home, they almost never have an optimal shower setup. Most vans have a hose and sprayer that are accessed via the rear door of the van. This means standing outside in the mud, sand, or snow to take a shower with limited privacy. The other option is a bulky shower enclosure that takes up valuable space in the van and feels claustrophobic. Neither of these are great solutions.

Early in 2021 Tetravan began developing a van shower that would provide a full-sized shower experience inside the camper van but would take up 75% less space than a solid shower enclosure. The patent pending design centers on components that fold off of the wall only when you need to use them. When not in use, the shower sits snugly against the wall, protruding only 7.5” into the van. Tetravan tried several prototypes and settled on a laser-cut galvanized steel construction, manufactured locally in Salt Lake City. Tetravan is excited to bring this innovation to the van life community and looks forward to growing and developing Tetravan with new, useful products.

Tetravan Folding Camper Van Shower System 2.1 (Black) FAQ’s:

Can the Tetravan shower work in any van model? (i.e. Sprinter vs. Transit)

Yes, the Tetravan Shower system is designed to work well in just about any van, assuming it is full height. We have seen it installed successfully in Sprinters, Transits, Promasters, and even trailers and RVs! All you need are the correct dimensions to install, the plumbing hookups, and a place for the water to drain.

Is my van tall enough to shower in?

You should have a full-height (minimum 6’ high roof) van to install the shower. The shower pan itself will be elevated 3” off of the ground when it is in use; you need to subtract that amount of space from your ceiling height and that’s how much vertical space you will have to shower. Every van’s ceiling height is a little bit different depending on floor insulation, floor thickness, and ceiling materials. Additionally, the walls of Sprinter vans curve towards the ceiling, so if your shower is installed on an outer wall, you may see some additional constraints in your showering space. To maximize vertical space we recommend installing the shower as close to the center of the van as possible, where ceiling height is the greatest.

The bottom line: if you’re over 6’, you’re not going to be able to fully stand straight up to take a shower. While this is unfortunate, we have seen plenty of tall people purchase the shower system with the understanding that having a quick shower option is better than nothing at all.

How does the Tetravan shower drain?

The shower uses a patent-pending drain design that allows water to drain into an angled gutter and exit through a conventional marine shower drain, even when the van is parked on a moderate slope. The shower is included with the drain fixture, which can be pointed any direction you choose. Most people choose to hook up their shower drain to the same place the rest of the gray water in their van drains – either a gray water tank or directly out of the bottom of the van onto the ground.

How does the Tetravan shower curtain work?

When you want to take a shower, you hang up the four corners of your curtain with hooks or carabiners to attach to your van ceiling. The curtain has both loops and grommets sewn into the top to allow for adjustable mounting heights. Once it is hung, the curtain widens to over 30 inches toward the top to maximize shoulder space and comfort.

Magnets are hand sewn into the curtain, which makes it easy to attach the bottom of the curtain to the inside edges of the shower pan. A water-tight magnetic closure at the front makes getting in and out easy. Once the curtain is magnetically attached, you will have no issues keeping the water from your shower inside the enclosure and preventing any drips or splashes.

How long does the Tetravan shower curtain take to dry?

It’s a question we get a lot but it really depends on the temperate and humidity inside your van. The curtain is made out of a quick-drying waterproof ripstop, which is the same material tent rain flies are made out of. We’ve found that leaving the curtain up for a half hour to let it dry usually does the trick. Letting it dry outside in the sun will work even faster.

Where do I store the Tetravan shower curtain?

The curtain comes with a mesh storage bag. Many people choose to store the bag inside the shower when it is folded up as a way to save even more space.

How much water will my Tetravan shower use?

It depends on you and what kind of shower you want to take. The showerhead supports two different modes – a “continuous flow” mode, where the water is continuously flowing, and a “quick rinse” mode, where the water comes out in spurts when you press a button. We’ve found that people who use the “quick rinse” method of showering use very little extra water and it’s a very efficient way to shower. However, even those who prefer a more traditional shower with a continuous flow have the benefit of knowing that the showerhead is already designed as “low flow” and uses 1.75 gallons of water per minute. Compared to a shower at home that uses 2.5 gallons of water per minute, the Tetravan shower is way more efficient! However, you’ll still want to limit your shower time – the average Sprinter van water tank is 25 gallons, which means all your water would be gone if you took a luxurious 15-minute shower.
