This stuff turned my van from Tin Can to...well...not. Sticky back rubber sound deadening fastasticness, along with 3/4" Rigid Insulation and interior wall. It was great.

I would not recommend eco for the glue, unless there is some pretty heavy duty stuff out there. You are attaching "synthetic" to "synthetic". And you don't want peeling insulation after you have built out the van. I went with Rigid insulation with Aluminum tape to hold it in the existing frame.

Insulation is vital in a van, but don't think that it will keep you warm or cool, on a cold night or a hot day, That kind of insulation would leave little room left for you in the van.

That said I highly recommend getting it. It will only slow down the inevitable, either for heat or cold. One thing insulation will do is make the van quieter on the inside.

To deal with Heat, you need insulation + Airflow. I have a fantasticFan vent in the roof of my van + the roof is painted white. The effect on the lowering internal temp was impressive without insulation. (I converted the van in summer in LA)

Cold, unfortunately, is an all-pervasive pest. The cold air has 360degree access to your vehicle, sides, top, front, back and most important the underneath. So floor insulation is important. You want as little exposed metal inside the van as it is here condensation will become a problem. And good insulation with a heater will make for some very cosy nights.

Hi Victoria, I just got back to Southern California after taking my conversion van up the west coast to Canada and east to colorado. I converted it here in LA. http://dancooper.site/index.php/site/photo-details/van-conversion-2016. Would be happy to connect.

Oh i see this was part of another thread, hi to everyone.

Take a look at my van, hopefully, it will give you some ideas.
