Happy 2022!! New publishing day is SUNDAY, YAHOOOO! We’re so excited to join you on the weekends, when you hopefully have the time to kick back, relax, & enjoy some timelapses & kitten purrs! Don’t forget to let us know about YOUR insulation expirience! This comment section is SO helpful not only to us, but to those who are just beginning their van build journey! If you could give someone just starting their van insulation advice, what would it be??

Love your videos! On behalf of us who are dependent on the captions to understand these videos (Deaf or Hard of Hearing), could you please check how your captions are working…. Captions come across in two separate lines on the bottom of the video. For some strange reason the lines on your videos overlap! Hard to watch. Usually one would give up but the info you present is so good I don’t want to miss it! Thanks!

FYI: A stealth camper has a dripping grey water tank you can turn on. That lets you have a small grey tank.

Been watching you guys for a year now and have to say as a carpenter myself, Ladi’s attention to detail, innovation and commitment is inspiring. Super well done you should both be very proud.

I'm so glad your back on the van build and love the new video formats and structure. I look forward to watching these and feel my stresses of the week disappear when I watch the master at work!! I wish I had half his talent!

When it comes to my own van conversion, I'm just going to take your vids as guides. I'm glad, Ladi, that you are such a perfectionist. This kind of attention to detail totally speaks to me! Happy New Year to you and Margaret and Millie! 😀

Have to say I spent my lockdown planning my escape, hours spent watching van build videos. Your videos are so informative, entertaining and funny, Ladi throwing shapes made me howl with laughter. Signing up to your channel and making plans for my own build. Thank you 💕

I usually watch your videos the day they come out but I'm saving this one for my birthday tomorrow. You probably know by now how much I love your build videos with the best tips!! Much love💜

"Where I can finally shine".... Ladi EVERYTHING YOU DO is awesome! You guys are both so impressive! But I for sure cant wait to see your cabinetry expertise get put to use in this build :))

I'm so happy you guys exist. I can't wait to build my van and ebike with the techniques learned from these videos!

I love this. We build our van last year and did exactly the same process after so much of research. I feel validated that crazy good builders like yourself did the same. Love the videos, keep em coming

Lady seems so happy in this video. I love watching y'all work on this van together, Can't wait to buy mine and put all this knowledge to good use!

Ladi, just amazing work, never saw such craftmanship and detail on insulation install. Great flying M, beautiful area and amazing shop.

YES ... YES ... YES ... this is how it should be done ... take your time and be thorough and systematic in your approach ... following the curves and contours of the panels will make a great job of insulating ... great to see both of you putting so much into this project ... it will be fantastic when finished. You have a great workshop and equipment which really helps ... only wish I had a workshop like this ... great job all round congratulations both of you.

Miss Millie found her spot nice and warm and cozy 🐾 your van is coming along can't wait until it's done and enjoy watching your videos tell your next one

Have been watching van build-outs for some years now. Have not subscribed to any before but your site appeared out of nowhere so I watched this vid on insulating your van and subscribed. Will go back to your first vid to get up to date. Proper insulation and air circulation has a lot to do with comfort. Am told that insulating the floor properly is most important and requires special attention so am looking forward to how you will tackle that phase of your build. I like and respect minutia! Getting “all” the small things right add up to a most favourable outcome! Wish you two well each and every day!

Just one word sums up this guy . Perfectionist.

I've seen hundreds of beautiful van builds; but this is the ONLY INSULATION i totally love. This is how i would do it if I could. I would insulate the heck out of it all. Including the dashboard and the driving area around the feet.

The van is coming great. Happy New Year Ladi, Margaret, and the sweet fur baby 🐱

Again…reading my mind regarding all the insulation gaps, and then blowing my mind with your knowledge and execution quality. I really need a Ladi in my life.

I wholeheartedly loved everything about the video and channel. Won't miss any videos

All the best for 2022!

Hi Margaret and Ladi. Great job with the conversion so far. I wanted to make sure you guys are aware that rear lights can only be taken apart by unscrewing two bolts from inside the van. I myself made a mistake here, but was luckily able to drill 100mm access holes afterwards to reach them whenever bulb change is required.

Yes, he is brilliant, I was just going to say smart couple beautiful build

Great Job... really informative video

Love the detail in the build process, missing from most KZreadrs .

Really nice work. (Trim carpenter to trim). The world's changing. I'm really happy to see you pushing through with your skills as we are trying to find our freedom. You are confident, particular and skilled. I agree with your thought processes and explanations. Nice job.

First time viewer here. As an engineer, once I saw the custom electronics and 3D printer it was an instant sub for me! Keep up the good work, I am excited to follow your journey.

I really respect your work ethic

I LOVE THIS! This is the first video (and ive seen 100's) where someone did insulation like this. I have ADHD and all the stuff you were doing was "my thought exactly" and makes total sense to do it the way you did.. I was always curious as to why people didn't cover the metal support beams because that is direct contact with the outside metal of the van. Heat transfer is real lol. Thank you for such an informative video. I look forward to watching the other videos you have to see what I can learn. I will be building out by spring time!!

Awesome work, love your videos!!! Thank you for sharing

Absolutely next level build!

I'll tell you what, that high quality insulation job and materials will outlast the actual van! Amazing attention to detail, you can tell you really are a perfectionist 😎👍🍻

Wowww, nicely done!

I'm meticulous as well, no substitute for craftsmanship, great build!

Awesome work has been put in here ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve completed my insulation also by using a similar king span type, metal damping, moisture barrier. We have Citroen relay SWB L1H1. Great videos

What a project what a team! Great vid

Excellent explanation, thank you very much

Yep, great video!! Great use of multiple materials for different spaces. We winterized our van, and have successfully crossed Canada in the winter time this past month. Cabin temperature was always comfortable, however we had two days where the outside temperature was below -25C and our water pipes froze overnight. I’ll be very interested to follow along and watch what techniques you use to mitigate this problem! For us, it is mostly a problem of not being able to circulate the warm air of the heater effectively into the garage space near the water tank. Great video!

@mwilliams6664

Is your piping all internal? And you still had problems with freezing? If so, how "closed off" is your garage (presumably this is where the freezing took place) from the main living space? Do you have any insulation on the pipes?

If your plumbing is in your garage split your diesel heater output so it puts some heat in the garage iv done it and it works great and it stops the damp in the garage and if your bed is over your garage it's great at night as it heats your mattress like a electric blanket and I also found I was keeping my heater lower as the heat was going straight to me in my bed

Awesome insulation process !

You actually made me feel better about our insulation! We don't have all the equipment - just scissors, bread knife and box cutters to cut and a table. So we did pretty well. When we saw the spring sticks we both went 'oh dang! that would have worked'. We held the insulation sheets over our head (standing on a small step) until the glue took - that was a terror. Would have been worth paying the hardware store to rip a plywood panel for spring sticks if we'd thought it out!! And now that I see the kflex and how you were able to cut such precise panels, I see how you can aspire to use vapor barrier technology and lack of thermal bridging. Our van will just have to follow the good weather.

Don’t worry about it too much. We had a great time in vans with no insulation at all!

While it may not be tenable to do these intensive and perfectionist builds often, I greatly appreciate you doing this.

Yes came onto the comments to say this. I fitted a grey water camera, in fact exactly the same swivelling camera you have there, a few years ago and it took several iterations of the 3d printed mount to solve the problem of dirt blocking the lens. I eventually found that recessing the camera in a hemisphere 50mm deep, along with a 100mm deep 45 degree angled shield in front of it kept it clean the vast majority of the time. I’ve actually now bought another tiny camera from eBay with a built in water jet but that’s going to have to wait for every other possible job to be done. Great video as ever 👍
