I've been in my van for two years, I use battery operated fans to keep the air flow moving. I've tried things like cat litter in a sock that was supposed to suck the moisture out of the air but without much luck.
Portable fan (s) have proven best in my expeience

Just wanted to post a photo of what I did with the inside of my previa. I call it my micro studio on wheels :-)

Thanks Roman, that was really useful to read and I'll keep at as a reference when I'm fully ready to purchase insulation next month :)

Greetings & Welcome!

Window vans make the best camper vans and no added insulation or roof vents are required because the interior is already finished.

The problem with most van insulation schemes is that they trap condenstation between the insulation and the vehicle skin.  This leads to moisture and mold problems.  A successful insulation job needs to wick the moisture from the outside skin to the interior where it can be evaporated out.  Open cell foam with a cloth covering can accomplish this.

Never heard of foam it green...

Good luck & keep us posted!

Thanks you!
I just researched it and it looks like this spray it green stuff is a type of open cell insulation.

Have you used this before? And do you recommend a certain brand?
Also, you ever had any problem with metal bending when this stuff expands? Looks insanely strong!

Hi all, I've been living in a minivan conversion for the last two years and I'm ready for a new van build. I'm buying either an nv200 or a ford transit connect in two days. I'm very excited!
I didn't have to insulate my minivan but will have to with this new project.
I just saw something called foam it green and a YouTube clip of someone using it for their van conversion build.

Has anyone tried this? Any thoughts?
