insulation

One of the packages / features / options that was purchased with my van is the "H20 HEAT-ABSORBING GLASS ALL ROUND" It doesn't seem effective at all at blocking heat from the sun. Does anyone else have this on their van, and notice it making a difference? I'm wondering if it just isn't very...

Insulation - Part I. We completed our first layer of insulation by applying a coat of Lizard Skin Ceramic on the interior walls and ceiling. The purpose of this coating is to reduce the thermal transfer of heat from the outside skin of the van to the inside. Lizard Skin claims that the...

I have quite a bit of thinsulate after completing my install. Did the front cab, front doors, rear doors, all the upper ribs & cargo area. I purchased 70 linear feet and was curious if I would gain any substantial benefits doubling up the thinsulate in some area. If not I'll just try to sell...

We just picked up our new 2019 144 cargo yesterday, got an insane deal and we are thrilled to begin! I have read and watched and endless amount of vanlife content...but somehow I feel like I want to double check that I’m on the right track with my order. 1 - maxfan holes/instal rails? 2 -...

I hell freight so I sleep in my van most days. Decided to install a second battery (without isolator because I'm not going to be running fridges and showers, plus I drive at least 300 Miles daily so the batteries won't get a chance to get drained) and insulate the back. The next project is...

Barely used, overall in "like new" condition. Bought for $28 on amazon. Would sell for $15 + $5-6 for shipping. Reply or message me if interested.

I am building my floor using Thinsulate and plywood and have ran into some problems attaching the floor to the van. I know that floating floors are one option but read the final paragraph for why I don’t like that solution. I have laid down PVC firing strips on the van floor and attached w/...

Looking at a van owned by a guy who had it built by a company who went out of business, so he is unable to get ahold of the builder. He said he doesn't know what kind of insulation was used but he saw it and it looked like a gray felt. As a prospective buyer trying to avoid spray and fiberglass...

I keep going back and forth about pulling up the factory flooring and putting down some insulation and then plywood floors. Its a lot of extra work, but is it necessary? I lose so much heat through windows and I'm putting in an espar heater. Here's what I want to know...will it help that...

Hi all, I'm a long time lurker, first time poster. My 2018 170" WB Sprinter just arrived a week ago and I am beginning my build with floor insulation. I plan to reuse the factory flooring, but first fill the three large ribs with 1/2" of polyiso, then cover the whole floor with an additional...

07 freightliner We're going with the rigid foam + foam Great Stuff Foam option but I'm noticing on our model (and probably anyones) that the points of contact against the sheet metal and the foam board is going to necessarily leave an air gap. If I fill all the way around the board with Great...

Anyone have experience / feedback using this product as flooring in a van build? Manufacturer gives it an R-4 rating. It's caught my eye since the bottom has matching ribs to fit snug into the van floor. Not sure how soft it is, but wondering if it would be firm enough to create a flat stable...

Hello, I want to start a tread on here to document my build as well as to ask questions and get advice along the way. I have read through a lot of the posts on the site and I have learned a lot along the way. I think it will take me around 2 years to do the full build and I am currently at the...

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...

Hi, we have created a partition and paneling kit for the 2500 High Roof Sprinter. The process was 3d scanning the interior of the van, drawing each part using CAD software and cutting at the CNC. This can be made to other models. Please let us know if this is of interest to you...

So this weekend I plan to purchase my Sprinter and begin the long and rewarding process of converting it into a camper. In all my excitement I have started researching insulation methods but I've ran into a lot of conflicting information and it's unclear to me what I really need to do to stay...

I just wrote up a window covering tutorial and I'm hoping someone will find it useful. The way I made my window covers is: Street layer - dark, purple felt Insulation - Warm Windows Front (house) layer - raw silk Bound with quilt binding bias tape Attached with rare earth magnets in tabs sewn...
