"But hey, my build, my rules!" :) I like that...a camper van should be built rugged and that paint is just fine. Nice build! Looks good too.

@@lacme4 Hi, I don't convert vans anymore. I only converted my own vans in the past. Prices vary, depending on your needs. The first thing is to draw a plan and layout everything on a floor to see how it will fit. The bed placing is the first item to try out. My last van conversion cost me A$ 3000.00 with me doing all the work. I will be making videos on how I did this for KZread in the next few months.

Such a good build! But only using reflectix and an airgap is not enough to be honest. Use denim, rockwool, hemp,.. and cover it with a damp screen and then cover with wood. This will also keep you warmer during colder times!
