Kiravan 6mm closed cell + what other insulation?

Postby dbram520 » Mon May 02, 2016 3:28 pm

Van: 2011 Ford Transit RWB, Reg height.

So I got 10m x 1m of this - http://www.kiravans.co.uk/lining/carpet ... mpervan-...

1. But now I am wrestling with what to add to that? Should I put that on for the big flat pieces and then add fibreglass insulation over it? (The safe kind obviously.) I live in Europe and it will be mostly for 3 season use, although it would be nice for it to be comfortable for winter use as well. Right now I am leaning towards just the 6mm closed cell foam and plywood to see how comfortable it is or not.

2. As for the floor I am planning on the 6mm closed cell foam in between the ribs, then plywood then vinyl. Another question... should I add something more to that?

3. Don't think I am going to a fan as the ribs in the ceiling will make it a major pain in the ass to deal with. There is only a 7 inch wide strip down the center of the van for installment of such. So I am thinking I will roll with just vents. Just regular floor vents? Location? One up high and one down low? And right on the outer/inner skin? (The thinnest part?)

4. Also, thoughts on vapor barriers? I'm leaning against it.

Thanks bros!

Panic over, link is working fine now. That stuff looks pretty useful and I'm planning to get it for my conversion.
