Did you insulate your floor? Would you do it again if you built another van?

I didn't insulate my mini bus floors - just plywood & mold primer. It got cold but not sure it makes a difference if theres no heat source for an extended period of time. Doing a promaster now.. hence why I'm here - It has that heavy duty rubber floor mat 1/4 " thick - tempted to just plywood over that - Happy you insulated?

​@@Roam4Wild I found out on accident how much of a difference it makes when I was waiting for things to set, I left a gap in one of my seams and that part of the floor was so much colder than the rest of the floor the next morning. Yes, without a heat source the van is still going to be chilly, but there is a difference IMO. I am happy that I insulated, I would do it again if I built another one.

Great video. Thank you for sharing. I do have a question; I was thinking of using neoprene for my floor insulation ( maybe wrapping it in a plastic?) and then installing those vinyl rectangular- interlocking flooring. I’m wondering if the neoprene will hold over time against mold / moisture Etc.

It bonds really well to a lot of different materials. The trick is to spray it on each piece of material, so for example in this case it'd be one side of the polyiso and the van floor, let it sit for like 3-5 minutes until it's tacky, and then adhere them together.

Nice video 👍 so worth doing! Almost miss this stage and we have only just finished ours lol! Nice job 👍

Hey Jason how did you find the tie down threads?

Thanks for the tip for getting the insulation foam board! Got some In Escondido. I do have few more questions for you. Did you use both birch and poplar furring strips for framing the floor? And was all 1x2 strips? And 3/4 birch plywood for the to lay on top the strips? Lol, thanks again bro I’m sure I’ll be asking more questions. You’re patients and detailed stuff is much appreciated.

Nice, it took me forever to find that stuff. I just used pine 1x2's for the floor, but I primed all of it. Go for the poplar if you're ok with spending the $$. I used 3/4" birch for my subfloor, but you could do 1/2".

Have you experienced any squeaks with your layout? I"m confuse as how much gap should i leave between the edge and strips? or should i make the strips as close/tight to the edge? any advice truly appreciate. Great video!

@JasonKlunk

That was a concern of mine as well, but I have no squeaks from the floor so far. Give yourself 1/8" - 1/4" for flexing.

In my opinion the spray on ceramic on the floor and ceiling makes the most sense.

Thank you Jason, I am anxious to follow you throughout the build. If you haven't progressed beyond this point yet I was wondering if you could help me with a single measurement. I would really like to know the width of the van measured from outer skin to outer skin (sheet metal to sheet metal) immediately above the upper rails. By "upper" rail I mean the rail that runs the length of the van immediately above the windows/window-areas. Thank you in advance.

You can find a lot of forum posts about people having water issues. I may have been a bit overzealous with my phrasing of 'tend to leak', but I think it's really important to be cautious of making sure the van is water tight (as best as possible) because of how many other people do have issues. I personally had issues with the gaskets not sealing on all of my doors so I had water in the van when I first bought it because the dealer power washed the van and didn't realize it was spraying directly inside. I've been paranoid ever since.

When you hear "1 by..." or "2 by...", it's a reference to the nominal lumber size. The actual dimensions of lumber are pretty much never what they're referred to as. A 1x2 is 3/4 x 1-1/2". For any other lumber size, you can look up a nominal vs actual size chart online :)
