Great video thanks, I am trying to find anchor points in my already converted van. This has helped me see where they are. I have drilled into fresh air so many times..
What insulation have you used and how much did you need, a review of how effective and a link would be amazing lol, spent weeks staring blankly at various foil and clearly don't know which to get
That is way too much insulation. The top rear panels are better left with just wall carpet material covering them, it makes for a neater job and gives you another 10cm of extra elbow room either side and makes no difference at all to overall U value. Similarly the extra material covering the rest makes virtually no difference, but further reduces the usable space. What about the rear doors, your work looks fast but some of it is missing? I would also mention that if you have a simple van without a pop top, to remove the steel lugs in the roof braces and gain another 5 cm of head height, very useful for sitting up straight, if like me you are 6ft. The heat loss/gain through the windows is by far the greatest load and the wall carpet is good insulation in itself, no need to go overboard and sacrifice all that internal space.
I'm no expert, but I heard too that if it's cold outside and warm in, condensation forms on the inside of the van, much like house windows in winter. I can't remember the figure but a human body evaporates a great deal of liquid even when sleeping. The insulation will eventually become wet which rust loves. No point insulating really, it's a metal box which will become hot in summer and cold in winter.
@@MonaichFother No, insulation does work, but these are small van and every inch/in3 is important, especially ceiling height. I am 6ft and can can just sit upright in my van because I lost nothing insulating ceilings and floors and in other areas.
@@benedictaddis3466 Sheep wool has an open structure and is made to be used without moisture barriers. Especially vans which are made from metal it's a stupid idea to trap moisture in the car. Sheeps wool can take moisture in it's cell and release when humidity allows without getting wet at all. Sheeps wool + proper ventilation is the way to go in a van. Especially if you don't live in it.
Thanks for the video, George. That was the fastest insulation job I have ever seen. Have a nice day.
Your wheel well wrap was so fast and easy!!

Wonder tune!! Tunnnne! Wish tis vame out back in the days of iza 1999 trance!
Was wondering what to do in that gap, good to see your plywood hack
Super helpful video thank you very much. Can I ask roughly how many rolls of the foil bubble wrap did you use?
No battening, bubble under, then celtoex boards on top??? Why just the bubble under the ply
He's definitely not paid by the hour!
No idea how I managed 8 mins before muting it🤣

Great video! Tried it out much since? Any issues or regrets with materials? Cheers!
Yep! The sheeps wool, foil, plywood and carpet are more than enough, however 4 windows does make it cold, I'd chose only 1/2 windows if I redid it
@@georgescott6671 And would you have chosen to put the windows in the side(s) or the rear door(s)?
más fácil coger el tablero del suelo ponerlo encima del aislante marcar y cortar
Hey mate, how much sheeps wool would you recommend for a job like this?
Estás furgoneta son las mejores y la h2
What's the tape that you're using called mate?
It's aluminium foil tape
@@georgescott6671 Cheers man
No sound deadening ?
did you decide not to soundproof the van?
Didn't know about it then. I can say with metal, wool, bubble wrap, ply and carpet that it's quite soundproof anyway

Combining sheep wool with a moisture barrier. Why.. People are just copy pasting other van builders without actually checking what they should do.
Can you explain the issue?

@@jessestruyvelt7593 True, does the recycled plastic insulation work in the same way do you know? As this is what I have done in my van.
