DIY Van Build Step #27 Insulate and Install vinyl flooring
Another key part of making ROAMR a Four season van is the floors, so this week we Insulate our floors with 1.5" XPS Foam insulation board, Install our 1/2" Pine Sub Flooring and install our 4mm Vinyl floor which ended up looking better than I could have imagined.
Check it out and let me know what you think!!

Hey dude, youre genius. Watched your video this morning. My subfloor was done in 3 hours and did it myself and i am a 61 year old woman. I didnt even glue it and i put the factory floor back in. I cant tell you how grateful i am. Simple, genius, easy, done. Thank you thank you. Ha ha. 3 hours. Ha ha

Dude I work as HVAC energy I guy I thought the same thing about all these people not understanding about this foam panel insulation, do not cut it or as little as possible, support under it not around it .... thumbs up !!

I Installed 1/2" Automotive grade high density rubber. Reflectix on top of that. Then laid 10mm XP Pergo flooring in my van. No wood to Rot. Mold, Mildew etc.. As that stuff as an R value of 9 without Reflectix as a radiant barrier and the flooring added...Been 8 years.. Plus I get the benefit of sound deadening...Best Decision I ever made. Along with 3M 600L Insulation and foil radiant barrier seam sealed. I can cool my van to 67 degree. Using nothing but a 6k BTU Ac unit....

One thing to note. When using this in a house, yes you can lay boards directly on top, then flooring. But in a house you don’t need to screw anything down into the floor because it dose not move. In a van there may be a need to screw items into the floor. Because of the make up of the PIR board the grab adhesive used is only touching the foil layer top and bottom which rips off very easily. If not using a frame bolting through the steel floor of the van would be best practice.

Wouldn't screwing into the 1/2" plywood subfloor be secure enough? Wouldn't be relying on the insulation for any support

New sub! I've been looking for someone to make sense of insulating my van floor without turning it into a sticks and bricks construction job. Like you said everybody wants to build frames for things and I knew that wasn't necessary. Just had to find somebody who knew how to do it the right way, thanks.
