Hi there! A question about flooring....
We ripped of the old plywood in order to see what was under there so we can soundproof and insulate, as we're semi-converting our van into a touring setup - storage in the back with a row of seats just behind the driver row, and beds up top. We don't need the craziest insulation since most of the time we won't be sleeping in it, so there you go.
My question is, what do you suggest for sound proofing and insulation materials, and should we keep the metal risers in there? I know there are lots of threads on converting and insulating, but I haven't seen any info about having a raised floor at all. I heard from a few people that the extra height would be good so we can insulate below and let the floor "breathe" to avoid moisture problems down the line. Is it worth it?
Since we're also installing a seat, maybe taking out the old aluminium bracing is better anyway so the seat height isn't weird?
Any thoughts, experience, or opinions are appreciated!
Thanks,
Orion
