Really glad I installed the PIR foam, it works really well and keeps the inside warm on cool days and warmer on cold days. Coupled with the window inserts in Ep.14 it works great! I didn't opt for a moisture barrier, so far so great but I live in Australia.

Looks like great ! Noted this would not work in humid countries And here in Canada a huge amount of water would form in the winter with cold and hot inside However with the same items you had You would need to cut the panels smaller to form between the metal framing And use a chauking gun with a smear of water res, glue. Closed cell foam in the frame gaps and holes flush with the panels and tape to cover and fine gaps making it air tight

Yeah, this would rust a van out within a year or two along the coast of California. Spray insulation foam (applied correctly to avoid warping the sheetmetal, and not sprayed downward into cavities to avoid blocking weep holes) or Thinsulate are the way to go in humid, damp environments. If someone reading this lives in the a US, you'll need to use one of those two products.

Travel With Jaz it looks like you have the extended length model? Here in the States we have 144” and 170” (inch) wheelbase options. Then you can option a 170” with an additional body length. Is that what you have? I drove one today and took a bunch of measurements for my rough plans. Only problem I foresee is the ceiling height. I have 2 inches between the top of my head and the ceiling ribs, so with paneling installed it’s going to be a tight squeeze! I absolutely dig your shower and toilet setup by the way.

Glueing Poly insulation will rust a van out within a year or two along the coast of California (and many places in the US). Spray insulation foam (applied correctly to avoid warping the sheetmetal, and not sprayed downward into cavities to avoid blocking weep holes) or Thinsulate are the way to go in the US, else your van will rust out completely from trapped condensation.

Because the sides and ceilings of vans are slightly curved it's hard to get adhesive to hold it in place, especially the thicker the pieces of polyiso. I had good luck with a GE product called "Iron Grip" (Home Depot) which comes in caulking-type tubes, even with 2" pieces on the ceiling of my RAM ProMaster (1.5" on the walls). I used a method similar to yours to hold the cut pieces in place until the Iron Grip dried.

I've never quite understood if it's really beneficial to use foam to fill the gaps. The reason is it's right next to an efficient heat transfer medium anyway (i.e. the metal) that will transfer heat from front to back around the insulation anyway

@JaznLori

To avoid heat transfer, why not use entire large panels, not to fill the gaps but to cover all the walls..? Ok you loose volume but gain efficiency.. My 02 cts..

At the start of your video, you mentioned that it would be better to leave an air gap between the metal wall and the foam board. However, you later did not leave an air gap because you glued the foam board directly on the wall. Is it better to try to create an air gap between the wall and foam board as well as between the ceiling and the foam board?

@JaznLori

6 жыл бұрын

Hi, there is a small airgap from the external wall to the foam board on most of the wall insulation, you can see when I put up small bit of sample foam board and I explain the gap, as they all sit on the ribs that protrude. As for the ceiling the air gap would be much smaller. I basically did the best I could with what I had to work with, in some part just because the way the van is designed there will be no air gap. In my mind it just makes sense to have an air gap because of how heat transfer works but it isn't a rule of thumb. As for the air gap from the interior side of the insulation to the sheeting, there will be a slight air gap in most places there too

Was wondering about different insulation options. One concern is condensation on the interior wall of the van. Did you research that first? I don't know what is best in terms of avoiding condensation, just a question really. Also wondering why you didn't go thicker on the roof, because of summer heat? Great videos, BTW.

@JaznLori

Thanks mate, yes I considered everything but with limited information out there I just went for this, and will see how it goes, I didnt go thicker on the ceiling because this is basically the largest size that fit in the cabitiy space.

Did you use any spray adhesives to attach the insulation to the base of the van or to the plywood above it? Thanks!

I noticed you left an air gap and I am looking at a company called Attic foil which recommends a radiant barrier,(air gap) as you have done and I will try to do it with Jute and foil. I recently spoke with an outfit in Red Deer Canada that will start selling some parts and they have insulated several ways and right now are using rigid like you. I think they are one of the best Van conversion outfits out there called Overland Explorer. May be able to get sone ides from them as well. Good job on your Van. Look forward to nest videos.

I think a better initial bond would've made the need for reinforcement unessesary.

How do I know the correct Amp for DC wires? They range from 5 Amp to 80 Amp?? Also, it gets confusing with the wire AWG sizes. They range from 4 AWG to 14 AWG. Does this mean that I could end up with all sorts of sizes for DC wires in my van? What about AC outlet wires? Are AC wires less complicated?

@JaznLori

6 жыл бұрын

The rule for amps flowing in a circuit is the wattage of the circuit (power) divided by the voltage of the circuit (volts). So Amps = P/V There are other factors to also consider called voltage drop. The lower the voltage e.g 12V, the higher the voltage drop over a distance as opposed to 110V or 240V which travels much further on the same amount of voltage drop and much less current is flowing also. So generally DC cable need to be much bigger compared to AC cables because of these 2 reasons, - Amps flowing - Voltage Drop I will be making a video on all the electrics soon. Here in Australia were generally use 2.5mm2 cable for power circuits, good up to around 20 amps as a rule of thumb. As for the DC in this van on most the circuits I'll probably be using 4mm2, possible some 6mm2 but we will see. I would definitely get a good electrician to help you.

Pretty sure that spray glue didn't hold those sheets of insulation. Would be much easier just cut it in a few parts by width. And same with walls.

Just never made sense to me to bother with the spray adhesive. Have to believe that no one thinks this will actually hold these panels long term. So the point would be to hold them in place until the wall / ceiling board - whether plywood, tongue and groove, or whatever, is placed over them to make the final surface. Personally going to try skipping the adhesive, build a wall up with insulation, then tongue and groove, and then repeat that process for the other wall, and lastly repeat for the ceiling with just some temporary strips to hold the sheets in place as I lay up each piece of tongue and groove... The bottom line to me is that there is no advantage to doing all the insulation first, then putting on the wall / ceiling coverings... Instead, insulate a wall, cover a wall.... LOL, literally after typing that above, I unpaused the video and got to the part where you mentioned the ceiling pieces weren't sticking! Just say NO to spray adhesive, there's just no reason you can't work around not having it... Useless expense to me. I think everyone should investigate the health risks of spray foam also before using it. I think that there is a widespread assumption that this stuff is completely safe, and that's simply not true, and moreso surrounding the living space in a closed vehicle like this. So I'll be doing my van without adding a health risk by using it... Lastly, while you're not at that stage of your build yet here, I recommend everyone do some serious analysis of the structural integrity of their planned build out. I never hear people talking about the risks of an accident and whether their build is: a) constructed strongly enough so that it won't break apart unless under GREAT stress, b) the quality of ATTACHMENT TO THE VEHICLE. And this is the MOST OVERLOOKED PART. Most people have NO IDEA about pull out and sheering forces of sheet metal screws, including the incredibly HIGH PROPENSITY FOR RUST TO WEAKEN THE ATTACHMENT OVER TIME. To me, sheet metal screws are AN ABOMINATION and should actually be LEGISLATED AGAINST IN VAN BUILDS. Yes, I'm saying that if found to have attached your build with sheet metal screws, it should be legally actionable against you. I have literally watched KZread videos where someone took off the shelf big box store PARTICLE BOARD CABINETRY, and attached a 4' cabinet that was going to hold tens of pounds of items, and attach it to the van wall USING ONLY 4 SHEET METAL SCREWS THROUGH THE PARTICLE BOARD. These kinds of foolish build outs are literally looking at DEATH from an impact where these cabinets tear loose and impact occupants in the front of the vehicle. Even a 30 mph stop in 1 foot exerts 2,000 lbs. of force. So PARTICLE BOARD has NO PLACE IN A VAN BUILD. You will note that any reputable van outfitter, such as for tradesman vans, when they install metal shelving, they ALWAYS use RIVNUTS. RIVNUTS SHOULD BE AN ABSOLUTE STANDARD FOR ALL ATTACHMENTS IN A VAN. PERIOD. END OF STORY. Rivnuts have 800 lbs. and up of pull out strength, which DWARFS the holding power of a self tapping sheet metal screw. And that says nothing about rust weaking the holding power of a sheet metal screw literally to the point that it will FALL OUT from simple vibration once the rust has eaten away just a few thousands of an inch of material holding it in place. Rivnuts, properly installed, should always include some form of metal sealant for the freshly drilled installation hole, whether a primer paint applied right before the rivnut is installed, or silicone applied on the rivnut and THEN attaching it to the metal. This will ensure that the BARE METAL THAT HAS BEEN DRILLED THROUGH WILL NOT BE EXPOSED TO MOISTURE AND CORROSION, but will have a VITAL VAPOR BARRIER protecting it for years to come. This important protection against rust is almost NEVER TAKEN when installing with sheet metal screws, and is a HUGE MISTAKE. Additionally, Rivnuts have other benefits: a. Since rivnuts are available up to 1/2" bolts, they well exceed the shear strength of screws b. Rivnut threads support repeated removal and reinstallation of the bolt easily a dozen times or more without weakening the attachment, something no one should even attempt with sheet metal screws. I will be doing a van build series on my build out and talking about these and other considerations, but the word needs to get out about STOP USING SHEET METAL SCREWS.

@JaznLori

thanks i can agree with some of your points, firstly with the PIR insulation boards as i said in the video, i wanted air gaps in between the PIR foam to the metal roof of the van, and also from the bottom of the PIR board to the pine ceiling. i explained why i wanted this in the video and so far its worked wonders. yes the sika spray failed, but it was good enough to hold it into place temporarily whilst the expanda foam set it into place like rock. I believe my build is built pretty dam solid, this van isn't going bush bashing but would defintely hold up to general abuse. yes i think rivnuts would be one of the strongest out there. anyway, building a van like this mostly on your own takes an enormous amount of effort and a lot of learning, errors and mistakes take place along the way which you change for better options. I'm excited you will be doing a complete van build series including in detail everything you have talked about in this comment and many more, you should set the example in which you have typed here in your van, that could be valuable to people.

I'm in Melbourne and want to travel all over, mostly north along the great divide but also to see lots of beautiful, cold, wet Tassie too. I really don't get how a vapour barrier works after all the reading and listening I've done. If moisture forms inside the metal skin, how will a vapour barrier sitting on the inside of the inner skin (on the bottom half of the wall anyway) help prevent the moisture forming on the inside of the outer skin. I'm so confused. I'd greatly appreciate your ideas about this.

Haha who could it be??

Damn, dude, I know I would mess the insulation up if I tried to trim it with a hacksaw like that.

Nah you'll be fine :)

dude, you like to make work for yourself, why didnt you use the adhesive backed spikes that are designed to hold the insulation?

Is this van going solar?
