sound deadening

TL;DR : Questions to those who lined their van to minimise road noise - was it worth it? does it make a huge difference? Is noise and comfort really that terrible in an unlined van? --------- Longer version : Not long started down the road of looking into getting a camper. After a month or...

After sound deadening the scuttle area the alarm sounders stainless steel box doesn’t fit. I removed the box and the alarm sounder fits snugly. Does anybody know the reason the box is fitted as standard? Is there is an issue with water tight integrity of this alarm sounder, or is it to protect a...

How much space is there behind the space for the legs on the loc8 table panel? I presume there’s plenty of space for some silentcoat (at 2mm!), but will some 16mm dodomat fit too?

Hi everyone, I’ve just bought this van for transporting ebikes to customers and also weekend trips with my kids and our bikes. Possibly will convert to a kombi. Might take out the bulk head and put the seats on turntables if that’s something that can be done and also keep the van quiet on the...

Has anyone used silentcoat or similar on the rear of their van whilst using or fitting caravelle seat rails. I've searched and searched the forum but it doesn't seem to have been covered previously. What does an original T6 Caravelle van floor look like ? is it insulated under the rails? or...

I’ve dynomatted my van and now I’m adding a dodo acoustic thermal liner. Where’s best to add it to the door and tailgate? I’ve dynomatted both the inner and outer skins. Do you add the thermal liner under the door trim or direct to the door outer skin!

I’m in the process of adding sound proofing to my kombi (as VW obviously don’t think it’s necessary) and my next challenge is the front doors. I’ve had a search or two but can’t see any obvious threads that would help me understand how to get the internal panels off the front doors. Could...

Just a quick one, how much space is there between the front cab headling and roof? I've silent coated so far but wondering if there is enough of a gap to put either dodo mate or thermal liner over the silent coat?

Not sure if any has taken this one on and looking for advice. We bought a newly converted SWB T6 last year and I think I want to take out the entire interior and retro fit silent coat and proper insulation. I took off the passenger side back panel and it looks like we just have wool type...

I’m looking to get my T6 edition soundproofed insulates and carpeted, after a bit of advice please. Is this a diy job or one best left to the pros? what’s the best soundproofing? Is the silent coat extra thick worth going for? Is it worth ply lining replacing existing panels using the...

So I'm keen to order sound deadening and insulation to fit over the next few weekends but obviously conscious of it being bl***y freezing at the moment. I don't have anywhere to do this inside say a garage or unit so the question is, is it a good idea to try and apply while it's so cold? Will...

I've watched nearly all the video's and read many posts, does anyone actually sound proof and thermal insulate the cabin area under the seats? I've seen one picture of sound insulation, nothing else? (I have the original matt that appears quite substantial) Picture for dramatic effect

Do I need to cover the whole interior of the van in sound deadening material? Specifically, does each and every panel need 100% coverage, or does 70-80% work just as well? Does the additional weight and installation time pay off is acoustic pleasure? This is my evenings pleasure for the week:D

Just wondering if anyone can recommend whether or not to put silent coat [or similar] on the outer door skin, behind the speaker hole. Or - should you put closed foam behind the speaker door hole? I have put silent coat on the inner door skin and closed foam on the inside of the door card. Thanks

I`m going to sound proof the cab area with sound coat at the weekend, any tips on what I should and should`nt do? It`s my first job on the van so I dont to go and bu##er it up. Thanks:):)

How are people insulating around door locks and door catches etc, I have barn doors and I’m unsure if I should be leaving it to the bare minimum in this area, I am using sound deadening which I have managed to stick behind the locking module itself, I will Be following up tomorow with the...

Hi guys just wondering how you would insulate and sound deaden the floor? I used silent coat and dodo thermo van liner for walls but not sure what to use for the floor? Also whats the process for putting an altro floor down? I currently have a factory Kombi rubber floor.

Hi, Can anyone tell me what is the best noise cancelling to put under my bonnet please. I’m looking to get an undertray and also lime under the bonnet.

Hello,just got our van back after having some work done by Exploria which included a line out. They have carpeted the sliding door motor covers to match the rest and to my joy,you can hardly hear the really annoying beeping when you close the doors which i am sure has annoyed many a camper in...
