Van Conversion
Installing a floor in a van conversion is one of the first projects that you’ll need to tackle, as it’s the base for many future projects. Our approach will include a layer of polyiso insulation, plywood and vinyl flooring.
Van Conversion
Insulating your van is an important and critical step for most conversions. The ability to stay warm or cool goes a long way toward your own comfort and safety. This is one of the most intensely debated topics for van conversions. What material, how to apply it, what glue, etc. Here is how we approached insulation based on extensive research and using what seemed like the most effective methods and materials. This is not the cheapest or most expensive van insulation method.
We will predominantly be staying in above 0° F and below 100° F temperatures during most of our van living. There are several areas in which we could have gone further to improve the insulation but for our goals, this is sufficient. Our primary concerns are staying comfortable while sleeping in the van and maintaining a safe temperature for leaving our dogs in the van while we mountain bike.
