The item in my kit
I bought CIFOX Six-Inch Black Shower Drain as part of my camper van equipment.
I bought the CIFOX drain for the shower side of my van equipment. The shower-drain opening is specifically named in my Day 87 plan, before the interior was enclosed.
Where it fits my build
My Day 87 plan put the body openings ahead of the aluminum framing, flooring and wall panels. I specifically included the shower drain and the openings for three water tanks in that order of work.
I removed cargo tie-down hardware to leave mounting points for the extrusion framing, and removed door trim for the later insulation and paneling. SketchUp helped me plan how those separate jobs would fit together.

My build notes
The useful part of this diary entry is the sequence. I wanted to finish the drilling while the interior metal was bare, so later work would not mean opening finished surfaces again.
The photographs show my preceding floor-preparation session. Sweeping, washing and removing residue created the starting point for the interior work I described next.
I planned the openings and mounting access before enclosing the interior.
Alternative products
Two alternatives to compare
Neodrain uses a tile-insert top that changes the finished appearance. WEBANG uses a visible black patterned grate, making the top surface and service access the main design comparison.
Neodrain Tile-Insert Shower Drain
This square drain has a removable top that accepts a tile insert. The recessed design changes the visible finish from an exposed patterned grate.
