Wat you’re doing is reducing the standing wave reflections inside the van which you referred to as echo but the test is somewhat flawed because you need to measure the attenuation from an external sound source with a known reference to obtain a meaningful result

why did you fit the skylight that way around all motor homes and caravans have them the other way around so when driving the wind will close the roof light rather than blow it open and off?
@wadeanddani

Yeah we know, our reason is because we will have a decking system on the roof and would like to access it from the bed and through the skylight.

Yes! Just car builders, but the 3 stage system with sound deadening, van liner and van seal. We used foilboard in our previous build so it will be interesting to see the difference, if any

$600+ worth just on sound deadener holy crap. No need for that much especially with the foam. Good video though. Carbuilders is overrated, expensive and under tested, Earthwool Spaceblanket 55mm from bunnings is perfect for van walls and is made for metal and actually has a R-value. Also will keep warmer in winter and has a foil barrier. Don't fall for the marketing.

Even in a house with an overhead fan the cooking smells take a long time to dissipate, hence cook with a view so if you have the door/window open, more chance of airing out the cooking smells and then you can keep your water in your sink warmer in the winter when it's not near the doorway...lol...
