    I don't usually comment on videos but man, of the hundreds of videos/series I've watched trying to do this as an amateur with limited tools, your series has BY FAR been the most helpful and gotten me out of my head to just get out and start doing it. Thank you!

    Thanks for the walkthrough! I'm looking to insulate a van. I was thinking to insulate just past the wood frame then shave it back before installing the walls and ceiling. I'll be using may van across the Southeast and keeping it cool will be my focus. How much of a gap did you have from the insulation to your wall? It looks like there is a good amount of space that could still be filled. Open to any suggestions you have!

    • @BuildingVanLife

      if you look at the next video in the series where i install the walls i fill the extra gaps with some extra chunks of fiberglass insulation so there is basically no gap.

    A pat on the back for not filling the rocker panel with foam A few really good tips for your next build Or viewers looking to get the most out of spray foam : #1 I used many tall cans of rubberized spray after scuffing panels and metal framing Along with the rear doors This does not stop cold air However it slows the transfer of forced convection (Cold air blowing on thin metal) / radiant heat..like a steel pan And a coated steel pan that takes longer to get up to temp. Any exposed metal in the van has the same results #2 With pocket holes leading into the rockers And a large gap in the rear doors You want to cover them up to spray over them For the pocket holes i used over lapping pieces of duct tape tight together (Foam does cure over it without burning it) Side note: I stuck a 5 inch long coat hanger in 3 places along, before i sprayed and removed them after for a small pressure release for opening and closing doors For the doors i used cheap plastic poster board you can buy at a Dollar store Or crafts place And done the same method. #3 Your wood / furring framing You can coat one side with the spray rubber if you did not spray where it is going to screw into (damp wood with hot and cold rots/warps/weakens it) I also done a very thin frame work to the rear doors About 3 paint sticks thick 1/3 inch? leaving one access point at the bottom of the rear doors for license plate lighting wires And made a wood mini cabinet without a door that pulls out when needed. I filled the doors with spray foam And shaved it flush to the framing Then added flexible thin paneling And spray glued my canvas type material #4 Red packing tape You will want to remove all the extra spray foam off the wood framing after you spray You can ether get a putty knife and scrape for 5 mins to a full hour depending on the mess Or peel away the tape. #5 Don't bury your wires in foam. What happens when down the road you want to add a plug in Or something breaks down And you have to replace it? Find yourself the ideal size of Mini PVC piping for the amount of wires you will have Use them down both sides of the van with 2 per side T outlets The outlets make it more simple to fish a wire thru Or pull one out Then you can foam over it leaving the T part exposed #6 The pros of hiring a pro...If you never done spray foam before By the time you understand the expansion rate And the areas you need to address first you are almost done The bad thing about that is many factors But the most common is nooks and crannies you missed And some panels have more foam And others less foam And you no longer have foam in the bottles to fix this. What was your method to know exactly How thick your foam was? is the foam the same thickness thru out the van? - The pro's have a "high tech" tool to know this And with a total of 100 gallon drums They do not run out of foam And if you say you want Min 3" inches That is what you get. #7 High tech tool. Not many bother to find out how much foam they have Just that they have some So here is my tip on the high tech tool....Get yourself a measuring ruler with inches on it Measure 8 inches on a coat hanger wire And cut it Now if you wanted the target of 3 inchs of foam measure the wire 3 inches from the tip Mark it The wrap tape around that mark with the tape line facing you ....Poke the foam hard till it stops there is your 3 inch line.....Do this on all the panels eyeball if the whole panel is level with the 3 inch mark fill as needed I have many more but this is long .....hope it helps

I've seen people put Vapor Barriers on floors and walls to fight condensation (and eventual rust) and there is a huge discussion on this point but personally I don't think VB are a good idea. But I do think condensation can be a big problem and believe that spray foam is a great solution as it insulates and seals directly on the metal skin where condensation forms. I really don't think the other insulation materials like wool rockwool and thinsulate help with eliminating condensation but spray closed cell foam does. Are you not worried about condensation on the floor? Or is using the board insulation just so much easier that it out weighs your condensation concerns?
