We use a Just Kampers insulated cover. Folds and squashes up small enough. Used it last night in minus 6 and woke up to no condensation or ice on the inside of the screen and front windows. Other windows were frozen on the INSIDE.
Looking for any recommendations to get my Kombi, insulated, sound proofed, carpet ply lined in the North East of Scotland. I did know of Old Mill Customs in Insch but unsure if they are still trading as the website has disappeared.
Any recommended places would be much appreciated, cheers.

...vapour but of course then the inside is cool which some like and others do not. Some camper owners do spend a lot of time and effort with insulation. Not keen on porous insulated because it is a pain when wet and can and will form mould.
I guess with windows during the day if one could...
There is an XPS core on the floor, so you won’t need much extra thermal insulation.
Bonding a heavy floor all over with Sikaflex is probably going to dampen the sound anyway, and there isn’t much big flat panels on the van floor, so I would just go straight onto the van. The manufacturer is...
Hi Herdy!
Just wondering how you got on with this? Did that Vanstyle deep step work, and did the rear threshold cover fit over the ply and Insulation?
Look forward to hearing about it :)
What would the insulation achieve?
It's not going to keep the battery significantly warmer if you are thinking about the charging below zero issue.
If you are thinking about spreading out the load or reducing rattles then I wouldn't advise using any insulation with a metal layer near high...
More reading for you...

Personally. I wouldn't touch a conversion without insulation & sound-deadening - it's asking for condensation and noise issues.
It will be pulling in on the strengthener where it's bonded. Just run a blade between the panel and the strengthener to cut the bonding and the tension will release. You can reseal with teroson panel bond or leave it as you have already insulated it.
I'm after a recommendation for a one stop option for sound insulation, lining, leisure battery and rear speaker fitting to my new Kombi.
I'm in Manchester, so the nearer to that the better.
Thanks, Phil
Took my sliding door panel off to fit some better insulation. Found a rubber pipe which seems anchored at the bottom but top part is loose. Is this meant to go anywhere?
Insulate sides and roof,side bars with steps both waiting to be done towbar (done) passenger sliding side door, reversing camera probably more when I come across it
Two separate things here....
You have a basic cover for snow, ice or quick over night stays in the van.
Then you have the full blown insulated covers for proper camping.
Fyi we have both, and use both for separate occasions.
Made a foil insulation pop top cover. Triple checked the dimensions so I'm confident it'll fit, but need to wait for the missus to be home before I do a test fit.
Your a star Phil Thankyou I wasn’t going to do the cab area or the floor as I’m keeping the insulated rubber mat out the Kombi where I got the seats and belts from.
Do you think 10m2 of carpet would be enough and 10 tins of spray for ceiling and walls?
