She worries about bedbugs so she wants to fix her van up to sleep in. OK, we can do that. Shower at truck stops. No problem. I'm all for making a cheap vacation of it. Plus, if we take her van and not the Challenger we can both share the driving. One drive and the other sleep.



Maybe you can solve mysteries along the way too!






dont forget the scoobie snacks

$3,500 doesn't seem so bad, just based on your posts you made. You were going to put in a hot tub type bath right? With jets or something? And have a separate shower?

Anywho. One of my dreams is to travel the US either via RV or VW Westfalia-type vehicle. I'd like to do it for a month or two though.

No shower in this room. Tub, toilet, sink.

here is where you went wrong, you went in to home depot

we build 100's of bathrooms yearly none of it is purchased from home depot. the money do it your selfers save by doing the work them selves is wasted buying home depot over prices items.

my advice would be to search and see where land developers buy from and get a price there. also when you are pricing out stuff be vague and don't let on that you are pricing out one bathroom. play it up like you are building a house and need many of the items you are trying to purchase. walk in do it your selfers tend to get robed blind because they are not "return" costumers so sales people tend to quote very high for them since they are comparing it to home-depot most of the time .

Well, I looked at a few places online and at ebay. Everything I saw costs more. The $3500 isn't that bad.

Corner tub - $999
Toilet - $120
Sink/countertop - $120
Cabinet - $359


The other expenses were for lighting, heat, fixtures, floring and extras.
