1. PREPARATION

Cut the substructure slats to size according to the shower tray and the multiplex base plate.

Tip: To create butt joints for the substructure frame using the substructure battens, the individual batten dimensions must be taken into account in advance. This results in the following cuts for the substructure battens:

2 pieces according to the length of the base plate
2 pieces shortened by twice the slat thickness

2. IMPLEMENTATION

The cut construction slats are then screwed together to form a substructure frame.

The next step is to attach the base plate to the substructure frame. If necessary, bracing can be added underneath the base plate for added stability.

Tip: We recommend countersinking the holes after pre-drilling. This ensures the shower tray rests on the wood panel and not on the screws.

After the frame is screwed to the base plate, the drain holes are marked. First, align the shower tray accordingly.

Using the hole saw, both drain holes are now drilled.

Tip: If the base plate thickness is <10 mm, we recommend choosing a larger diameter hole saw.

3.FOLLOW-UP

Next, the Dometic drain traps are installed. The shower tray drains are designed to be flush with the shower tray.

Now apply the construction adhesive generously to the base plate.

The final step is to place the shower tray onto the substructure and align it. Your camper van wet room is complete.

4. THE CONCLUSION

The substructure is simple, straightforward, cost-effective, and, above all, very quick to build. A clear advantage of the custom-made Adventure Truck shower tray is its individual dimensions. The shower tray adapts to your conversion, not the other way around. The additional depth adjustment allows for laundry or bathing children or pets. Furthermore, our custom-made shower trays offer a sustainable alternative to porous plastic trays in motorhomes. Defective plastic trays can be easily reconstructed and reproduced.
