Van Conversion / Insulation : Stuck at the first hurdle!
December 03, 2017, 07:24:18 PM
So we've brought our van which were are hoping to convert into a camper. The catch is we have 11 dogs which are racing huskies.

We are looking at converting the rear of the van for the dogs with fitted dog crates. i'd like the walls in this section to be covered in something like altro flooring.

the middle section of the van will be sleeping quatres for us humans.

The van will be used mostly in the winter so needs to be warm, we will also be fitting a night heater.

My question is what do I use to insulate?

I've been told all differnt things and now i'm really confused. I was told to use the bubble foil insulation, but then told this wasn't thick enough and then told to use the closed cell foam, but told you can't mold that into shape, was told to use the wool but then told this holds moisture?

my main problem there will be loads of moisture because of teh amount of dogs breathing in the back!

please please help

Thanks in advance with all the help
