How did this insulation work out? Are you satisfied? I'm in the process of insulating my Transit, but man, the entire body of the van seems to be one massive thermal bridge, especially around the rear doors.

@JeremiahLuke

ohhh I loved this insulation. If not just because it is water resistant / proof! So, when i was in the process of discovering and fixing the leaks in my transit.. the insulation wasnt ruined! I am of the opinion that you can't really seal/insulate a van fully... its more about reducing all likely leaks of hot air as much as you can. i think thinsulate does a great job of it. The EZ cool over the thermal breaks was what Faroutride (popular van build reference material) recommended. It seemed to work... The rear doors... now that I never solved. If not just because of that massive crack in the back which allows ANY wind to come thru...i just got used to the fact that the front of the van was warm (where the heater was) and the rear was cold.

Weighing my different options. Easy is always good for a lady without much experience in building. I've been looking into sheeps wool too. Could the wool be tucked in with the material you used covering it? Am I going overboard?

@JeremiahLuke

3 жыл бұрын

I don't see why you couldn't tuck the wool and then cover with Thinsulate. Going overboard is always a matter of opinion...On one hand, I would highly recommend a solid attempt at insulting the van well for the sake of those really cold nights (and the hot ones too!). On the other hand, there is NO way that we will ever seal our vans to the point of them being toasty little boxes that hold all heat and never lose a bit. I am happy with my thorough installation with the Thinsulate and EZ Cool. I am not sure I could achieve much more if I tucked the wool stuff behind the Thinsulate. Just my thoughts though!

What if you used thinsulate & insulation board (R3)?

@JeremiahLuke

11 ай бұрын

I've seen a lot of people use insulation board! I think the main downside is rigidity + lack of breathing? I don't know much about this... but I seem to remember some people fearing sweating between the walls of your van.

Are you living the n a cold climate or a warm climate what would the difference be for the application?

@JeremiahLuke

Жыл бұрын

I traveled between both! From hot hot texas days to freezing cold wyoming days. I think this thinsulate helps with both temps (hot and cold). It reflected a lot of sun heat off the van and it kept a lot of internally generated heat inside the van.

Hi my thinsulate came with black on both sides. Did I order the wrong kind or am I supposed to peel off one side? 🤔 🤦‍♀️

@JeremiahLuke

2 жыл бұрын

oh my goodness I don't know! It could be that they changed up the design? I wouldn't do any peeling unless it seems intended/easy...

OK so thinsulate is very thin and not crazy high R-value so why not use a thin extruded pink foam board where a 1/2" sheet would be R3, or 1" pieces where you get R6? And maybe put a few pieces of wool insulation in those cavities. I'm getting read to go down this rabbit hole but Ive used 3M spray adhesive before and it's not very good, and that's on stuff that doesn't go shaking down the road. I hope it worked out for you, love the video.

@JeremiahLuke

3 жыл бұрын

I wanted the Thinsulate mostly because of its flexibility (easily working with grooves and curves and edges and cavities and then also for its hydrophobic properties (which I believe Foam board would share but not the wool?). Also, it was one of those things I had my heart set on earlier on in the process after reading those endless discussions where people are evenly divided down every possible line... I WHOLEHEARTEDLY agree with you on the 3M 90....what I didn't realize was that people most often use it simply to hold something in place UNTIL they cover it (insulation being the prime example)...Had I known that, I would have used contact cement in spray form for everything...
