So, a big problem with the engine in our van is how noisy it can be whilst driving. Before we tackled soundproofing our cab, it was difficult to hold a conversation while travelling at full speed (50-60mph).

We used basic materials which are all readily available from DIY shops and the results are good, Idling decibals hav dropped by about 5-7db and, although we don't have exact figures for the improvement whilst at full speed, it has definitely improved. We can now talk while on the move without having to shout and each journey does not end with ringing in the ears!

A good result overall for a total cost of about £50.

An added bonus is that the cab is also now much warmer and better insulated.

Van Conversion / Our Luton Box Van Conversion

Hi everyone,

We have converted a Luton BoxVan to a home and wanted to share it with the vanlife community here.

We have a youtube channel with vanlife videos on including the entire build process of our van:

If you like the vids, comment and subscribe. Its always great to hear from fellow vanlifers or those looking to convert a van.

Van Conversion / Luton Van Home Conversion
March 06, 2017, 08:45:04 AM
Hello all,

Just wanted to share mine and my partner's van conversion. We spent over a year travelling around Europe in our Merc Sprinter and have now upgraded to something bigger in order to build more of a home than a campervan.

We have made a little video of our first few weeks of the conversion and more will be coming soon.

Van Conversion / Re: Anyone here converted a Luton?
February 23, 2017, 08:38:34 AM
Hello everyone,

We are a couple currently converting a luton van. We have previously converted a Sprinter LWB and spent a year travelling around Europe in it. We felt the need to 'upgrade' to a Luton and are currently converting it.

We have just cut a 'walk through' between the cab and the box and will be posting details on our blog. All other aspects of the conversion will be covered in detail as well so take a look at our blog (www.acoupleofadventurers.com) if you want to see how we are going about things.
