Building the shower enclosure is quick and easy, with just a few simple steps. Please note that every floor plan and design is specific and must be adapted accordingly. a Procedure for stimulation.
Screwing together wooden cuts

The shower tray serves as a template for the drilling. The drain hole is marked once on the floor of the shower cubicle and finally on the vehicle floor. This ensures a precise fit for the drain siphon and the wastewater system. Here, too, remove the camper shower tray and set it aside before drilling.

The drain siphon is also attached to the shower tray.

Optionally, the shower enclosure cover can be felted. This allows the shower enclosure to be converted into an additional seating area after use.
