@@saltylips9965 Both Panels i cut at 62½" Wide so width of Van roof, and for length i cut front panel at 44" and rear panel at 34" Hope this helps .... However please do double check with measurements of your own van before cutting as your requirements may differ from mine. 👍👍
@@South_West_Steve I will do and thank you. I'm guessing you used 4 battons on the roof then? I was going to just screw the ply up as is so I don't lose much more height
Hi and Thanks for the question, after lots of research and speaking to professional van converters most camper vans do not actually require one. There are a few reasons why vapour barriers are not necessary the first being is a vapour barrier, for example, when put in houses and buildings it is there to stop vapour passing through permeable surfaces, it stops damp and ruin to household insulation as the barrier is a waterproof closed cell material. The Thermo liner (insulation) I used from deadening.co.uk is closed cell layer with a reflective foil finish. This product along with my other insulation will reduce the extreme difference of temperature between then outside and inside temperature and act as a barrier between the outside and inside temperatures. The thermo fleece liner i used is also designed in a way that it does not lose its insulating values when damp. To keep the condensation to the minimum ventilation is key! Having an opening window or a ceiling vent will allow for the condensation to dissipate accordingly and keep the moisture and condensation from gathering on surfaces. These methods are much more effective than a home made moisture barrier. (Advice/info taken from Lee at Coombe Valley Campers). 👍
Fancy supporting the channel and buying me a coffee ?

Now the sound-proofing is in place, just let me know when the rave party is on, and I’ll drop by 🎉 Good job

Coming along nicely 👍
Hi Steve .. Thank you buddy. 👍
Looking good! Will you be camping and vlogging in it when it's done? X
I will be eyah, well, thats the plan 👍
Dont suppose you still have the measurements for the roof panels by chance?
I don't sorry but when I get a chance in the next few days I will measure them and let you know if that helps.
@@South_West_Steve that would be great, thank you so much
@@South_West_Steve measurements?

Why no vapour barrier ? Is that to come next.
