How to save space on insulation for the floor in a campervan conversion! | Van Build Ep 4
In this episode of my van conversion series, I’m tackling the van floor - one of the most important parts of a comfortable camper build.
Despite my Mercedes Sprinter having a high roof, I still want to be able to save as much living space as possible inside my campervan. Reducing the depth of the floor is an excellent way of tackling that issue.
If you want to maximise headroom and still get solid insulation and soundproofing, this video is for you.I’m installing a low-profile subfloor system using:
Dodo Mat Deadn Duo Pro for sound deadening + insulation in one
12mm wooden battens to frame out the floor
Tiger Seal bonder and sealant
🛠️ I’ll show you how to lay everything out, stick the insulation, frame the floor, and prep it for the final plywood layer — perfect if you're building out a your campervan conversion!
All of my insulation products for the floor and walls have come in a really handy conversion kit from @CombeValleyCampers I will link their website below.
