Insulation, Vapour Barrier & Sound Deadening for a Van Conversion | How to Fit for Maximum Warmth

Episode 10 is all about van conversion insulation. We’ve added four different layers to insulate our van; from sound deadening to a thorough vapour barrier and we’re showing you how we applied each layer to keep our beautiful Gloria nice and cosy and moisture-free.
Next up… Solar and how we made our super-awesome, super-strong, super-inconspicuous custom mounts.

Your videos are a o well made, so aesthetic and really informative 😀 loving the videos and wishing we could have watched these while we were doing our van! Can’t wait to see what it looks like when it’s done :)

Try if you can to get the expanding foam out of the air vents at the back. They are for releasing air pressure for when you close the doors. Large space, lots of air...close the door increase pressure. Can't remember who it is but a van builder recently had to replace a window for that exact reason.

Oh dear. Thank you for sharing! :)

Thanks for the well made videos, Once the vapour barrier is on, how did you then know where your battens were for installing panels/cladding/building from?
