Hey guys and welcome to Episode 4 of my No Experience Van Conversion Series. In today's video I explain how to install and fully sound deaden the inside of the van. I used products from a company called DODO Mat and they were great and it really has made a big difference to reducing the noise inside.
All materials and products used in the video will be linked below!

@marcusvillain1119 3 жыл бұрын

We completed our van conversion about 4 months ago , the best source of information out there in my opinion is Camper Vibes channel. Lou and Emily completed a Citroen Relay ( Same shape van) conversion and without that channel our Van wouldn't look anywhere near how it does today. Lou makes in depth videos on literally every part of the build, and anything you're unsure of you can probably find a video from them. We opted for a stealth approach and we didn't regret it one bit, but each to their own . It's your van, you make decisions that would best suit your needs. Any questions i'd be happy to help. I like to think I've managed to learn something over the 6 months of shouting and swearing. 😂

Put as many windows in as you possibly can, is my advice. You want maximum visibility driving but also when parked up. Imagine being in the most beautiful scenery but it's raining and you can't enjoy the view. You can always make removable reflectix blind for windows for privacy and insulation. Check out a Canadian KZfaqr called Eric Enjoys Earth for some tips he's got sound advice, having done van life for many years. Love your videos mate, it's coming along great!

@NomaddUK 3 жыл бұрын

This advice may be a bit late pal but the trick with the aluminium foil is to not cut it but tear it and leave the end with a longer piece of backing layer so it's easier to separate. Also turn your van internal lights off or you'll kil your battery very quickly. I remember all of your struggles and I'm glad it's not just me. I learned over time as will you. Well done.
