The wind will blow under and over the vehicle. Mobile homes will block off underneath and it really makes a difference in keeping warm. Also, decide where you will spend your time and build for that. A build is different for rain forest, desert, or -40 degrees.

Looks nice but won't the insulation value of that floor be governed by the wood and tape? Not sure how else to do it ovc and am about to do my first van I'll do much the same but might wrap the wood a couple of times with the tape

In parts maybe yes, you can just lay an entire sheet of Celotex down and put Ply on top of that to improve the insulation, but I wanted something solid to fix things to. This is how most do their floor and I think is the best way.
