The subfloor is essential to add to your campervan, as it's the foundation on which you lay your vinyl or laminate flooring. The ridges on the floors of ram promasters need to be evened out and insulated with something like a foam board, otherwise, you'll feel the grooves under your feet. The insulation on the floor is also super important to keep your van warm and your feet toasty!
We've got a bunch more instructional and DIY videos coming your way from our 2018 Promaster including:
- Designing and building a U- Lounge seating for up to 6 people with custom upholstery (family van)
- A second pull out bed for families or guests
- Installing a huge skylight right over the bed for stargazing
- Custom upper and lower cabinetry
- Swivel seats
- Complete off-grid solar electrical system
- Various lighting around the van and accent floor 'mood' lighting
- Kitchen with full-size stainless steel sink and instant hot water
- Installing propane in your van
- An outdoor shower
And so much more!

    I know this video is old but I’m curious how the foam board has held up? I want to install it in my camper trailer renovation but once it goes in it’s quite permanent. Y’all have some great builds btw!

    The foam board has held up really well! We've done it in all of our builds and never had a complaint. It's quite rigid, plus when you add the subfloor and vinyl planks, they distribute weight across it evenly. I'll continue to use it in our builds.

    Sorry didn't get how you attach the plywood... It just lays above the foam boards?

    Yes with PL foam board adhesive, so everything is glued down!

    So you must be one of the first van build videos I've seen that does not install framing/furring strips onto the metal floor as a first step? I'm in Australia, and have a small van, so am more concerned about insulating for heat than cold (i.e. ceiling rather than floor) and also about maximising space (height). I'm tossing up between poly iso foam board like you, or 1/4 inch closed cell foam mat (eg jigsaw mat). And mindful of squeaking too!

    We haven’t used the jig saw mat before but have had good luck with the foam board 😊 good luck with your project
