Is a bathroom in a van worth it? | BATHROOM VS NO BATHROOM VAN LIFE PROS & CONS
Thinking about van life? If you are, you’ve probably started wondering about your overall floor plan and if you should incorporate a bathroom into your van.
Let’s face it - if you are going to do extended travel or full time travel in your van, you’re likely going to want the convenience of a private bathroom inside your van.
Van life can be stressful and if you are constantly wondering when and where you’ll find toilet and a shower while you’re on the road, you might find yourself even more stressed out or overwhelmed.
