Sounds amazing spec Merv, do send a pic.
How are you building a toilet??
Some folks get the tent that attaches to the back door, and stick a portal oo, or poopaloo in it, others have separate pop up loo tents.
I would be interested to see your take on it

Hello and welcome! Have fun with your new van/Cali! Look forward to shower pics as we seldom use kind of a bag-thing.

Welcome ,
Looks like one of the first COASTS on here ,
Where are you from , as we all now the coast is not availeble in the UK ( at least i think)
I have seen and sat in one in the Netherlands but don't think many here on the forum have seen one in real life....

It will sit behind rear door attached to where to bar would go .will swing out around to side where sliding door goes under awning .it will be telescopic on hight about 1.2 mots high closed and about 2 mts in use .will have a full hot working shower about 40 lts with immersion wast water tank also all built in to underneath of Cali where spare wheel would go .low water warning temperature indicator drain and fill points .made structure stainless steel and fibreglass and aluminium .painted in same colour as Cali black .toilet in one side with cover when shower in use With electric use .probably unit will extend up on a small hydraulic rams and lower same way .i have not seen anything like this done before so let's see how it works .size about 1.2 x800 roughly .cant make anything until Cali arrives .as on my ocean it doesn't have spare wheel underneath so tanks will go there out of way .unit will be able to be removed if not needed if being used as a car or just out for a drive .every thing will be on quick release couplings .will probably be insulated also .approximately about a 3 to 4 week build I hope .most important it doesn't inter fear with any part of car or it's components .

I went for the alcantara seating

Best get some seat covers if you have a 6 year old!

It will sit behind rear door attached to where to bar would go

I would prefer to keep the bar option!

Congratulations on your purchase!

Wow,
Quite a project. I managed so neat shelves in the wardrobe, but that is as far as I went.
As before, do send pics when it is done, sounds amazing

What do you do for a spare wheel?
