How to Build a Modern Outhouse on a Budget

I built this 8 by 8 modern outhouse for my property. I dismantled a 1993 25 foot camper and used the toilet, vanity ,sink. shower, and windows from the camper.

Building the Floor

I studded in a 8 by 8 floor with pressure treated 2 by 8s and in between the studs i mounted the black water tank from the camper .

Floor

Nailing down the 1/2 plywood floor.

Walls and Studs

I studded up 8 foot walls , Installed 1 of the 2 doors which came from the camper.

Roof

I cut studs for the 5/12 pitch roof. Instead of plywood i used 1 by 6 ship lap boards which you will see on the inside pictures how nice it looks. I used Cheap black 3 tab shingles.

Windows

I used 2 of the windows from the camper. 1 on each side of the outhouse.

Shower

I installed the shower in the same orientation as it was in the camper.

Closet

I made a 2 by 2 foot closet.The double doors are mirrored from the camper.

Ceiling

Here is the inside of the ceiling with the smooth side down of the ship lap boards showing.

Finished Ceiling

Heres the view of the finished ceiling with the light and fan and the door to enter the attic when needed .

Finished Windows

Toilet

Here is a picture of the toilet installed.

Vanity

I made the 2 by 4 foot vanity .Bought the counter top ,and used the sink and drawers and doors from the camper.

Inside Walls

All the inside walls are made from the ship lap boards
