...for now!!
Decided to head up to Worcester to see West Midlands camper conversions yesterday to get the van sound deadening, thermal insulation and the fleece insulation. They did offer to travel down and fit at the home address but I thought a day out in Worcester would be in order.
After a...
...deaden / insulate in some of the panels. I need to get a trim tool to check in the roof.
I was looking to get the dodo mat deadening and insulation kit as I think it will probably do a much better job. If I pulled out all that loft insulation stuff it's obviously going to leave crap stuck to...
...Save money, weight and time and do not cover 100% in 2mm butyl. Learn/recognise the difference between sound deadening (panel boom) and closed cell thermal insulation , 6mm+ which will also have noise reducing properties

...maintenance - but so long as you take each wire out individually and make sure it's insulated before you move the other one the risk of any short is minimal. A simple method might be to temporarily attach something like standard insulation connector block to the bare ends - don't just rely on...
Hi all,
Recently purchased a part converted van and now getting to work on it myself. Poptop roof already done as is the insulation and carpeting. Currently sorting cable for electrics with plan for battery under drivers seat.
Want to have a switch panel on the rear panel on drivers side but...
...and only had the bed base at first. I now have an extra board to fill the gap above the front seats which I think adds a bit if extra sudo insulation.
I brought insulated window covers, the internal silver stick on ones for all windows. Which has mad a big difference.
I have a diesel heater...
...that terrible job of scraping adhesive off the roof again.
Since I ripped the fiberglass stuff out I am wondering how I could fix new insulation on and also what best to use.
That part is tricky because it is round a bend. For flat you can use firm board type stuff. On the other hand with...

I install insulation into all my vans, I use superfoil, it's thick and sound insulates as well, so cooler in summer warmer in winter, for max longevity I spray corrosion inhibitor into all cavities internal and external and add a polythene vapour barrier to internal before replacing internal...
I have one roll of insulation left from my conversion - I purchased this from Kiravans, and it retails at £44.70.
The roll is still bagged up and has been unopened since it arrived.
It would require collecting, although very light.
£30 and it is yours!
Thanks for the replies. So do I need this for the Towbar? I have 3 connections to the main battery via 15a fuses….or can I just coil it up and insulate?
...insulate and carpet but have had conflicting advice around deadening; some saying it makes a massive difference, others saying that insulation, boarding where necessary and carpeting is all you need.
What's the consensus on the forum, does it make all the difference or not; and if it does...
While it’s not bad what’s the best way to clean all the dirt along the edges of the floor, need it spotless prior to insulation and ply please. I dont want to pressure wash it.
