Thanks :)

I jused Insulation that they put in big coaches they make at my missus her (former)work place (Berkhof Vakenswaard)
Its specialy for north european countrys 1 to 1 1/2 inch thick made of foam 1 or two layes and allu foil and membrame foil on the back (verry expensif to buy) me missus took it all out of the skip so free for us :D
Only thing that cost me money till now are the seats and some little bits and bops :wink:
