Insulating a van for what ever reason is a very hot topic in the van life community. You can ask 10 people their thoughts on insulation and get 10 different answers. So look no further! I
I decided to go with 3m thinsulate insulation because it is water proof, fire retardant, safe to touch, safe to breath, and easy to use! I am super happy with this product and will most likely use this on every van I buy in the future!
Let me know what you thoughts are on insulation and I hope you enjoyed this video!!!

Nice video sharing, many thanks. Thinsulate seems like a good choice, but I might want even more insulation, so either double up, or use Polyisocyanurate board and thinsulate combination. The board has higher R value/inch. A house has R13 in 2x4 walls and more in ceiling. So one layer of thinsulate is R 5.2 - a great start, but I would want more since you have the space. Just a thought. Does the van stay warm or cool with 1 layer?

Thanks for posting! I'm on my 2nd build and used polyiso board/ Great Stuff on my first and, not only was it time consuming, it was messy compared to using thinsulate, which I only used for the doors and ribs. I'm going 100% thinsulate and just purchased the 40' X 60" roll.

@AnkeneyVanBuilds 3 жыл бұрын

Hi!! That is a great question! The main reason I don’t is because of sacrificing heading room. After framing, insulating, laying a subfloor and THEN laying your vinyl, you have already lost 1+ inches of head room. Another reason is because new promaster come with a factory subfloor that is 1/2” thick, perfectly flat, and borderline impossible to remove. And provides a perfect surface to lay floors directly onto. The simplest and most cost effective way to keep your feet warm is to throw down some rugs (which everyone does anyways regardless of weather) Hope this helps!

@@AnkeneyVanBuilds rugs do help, and as a person of 1.98m height myself I get the point about the loss of headroom. But a rug cannot compare with proper insulation. If in a miderstebclimate, no problem. But in cold winter days a well insulsted floor makes all the difference. Takenit from someone with 5 years full time experience. Unfortunately for you in the US, the extra hight roof version of the Ducato (what your Pro master is based on) is not on offer. That one has 2.17m interior height and would solve all your problems.

I wish I would've watched before installing my sound deadener. You are right about it not being necessary. After install of Thinsulate, my van was super quite in comparison. I have extra insulation (because I have 3 window areas) so I will put that on top of the wheel wells. Do you think that is overkill? (No pun intended, since I used Killmatt). Do you think doubling up on sound deadener and/insulation would defeat the purpose of one of them? .... I could've saved some $ not buying sound deadener. ....I didn't see you do this, but I also added insulation between the head space and metal (enter those handy panel removal tools again- i got a fancy set for like k$10). Use your skinniest friend to help you shove it in as far as possible.

Wow good to know about the thinsulate/sound deadening. Saves a whole step! I have a dog that hated the sound of my ex's empty cargo van...have to do something! One question- I'm more low budget than the tall vans so most likely will be an econoline or something similar. Anything you can think of that might be different in that case, other than the floor not being as thick, so possibly needing thinsulate? (I'm short but still would like to have as much height as possible, but one builder said floor insulation is important in hot climates due to heat rising?

i'd probably not use you as a van builder. the problem is that your install, at least as shown, isn't air tight, so if ambient temp inside is higher than outside and you don't have proper air flow going at all times, you will end up with condensation. you'd have to make sure every part of the waterproof insulation material (thinsulate in this case) is bonded air tight with every piece that touches it; also, any wood or metal that contacts w/ the van is also covered 100% with the insulation material and bonded air tight with connecting pieces, or eventually there will be water build up through condensation, resulting in rust and mold - not in a week, maybe not in a month, but eventually. to conclude: the insulation material has to be air tight all around and over everything that goes in contact w/ the van.

Stay away against fire resistant material. The chems are terrible for us.

This insulation is the same material they put in jackets and other cold weather clothing. Totally safe!
