      From Amazon I have checked and unfortunately the seller doesn’t have any at the moment it was a custom length..

  • @alanmears517

    If you compare polystyrene to aircell, aircell has a much higher thermal rating compared to polystyrene foam. Polystyrene also is not waterproof, but it can absorb small amounts of water over time which could affect the cabinetry or flooring (if you had a water leak)

    • @EngineeredToDesign
      @EngineeredToDesign 14 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      Thank you. Air cell would be a better option or xps?

    • @alanmears517
      @alanmears517 11 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      @EngineeredToDesign xps is Exruded Polystyrene insulation. From my point of view air cell would be better, and air cell being thinner means you don't have to cut channels in it to make clearance for wiring. Reducing the thickness of any part of the xps would reduce the thermal rating in those areas

  • @Hitmason100
    @Hitmason100 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Could do the more expensive(more thermal resistant) option on the roof then the cheaper option on the walls. Could be an option that way you've got more protection from above.

    Can't rego with out the inside done because by the time you fit it out it will exceed your gvm good luck I do registration and build vans every day for a living alloy frame and build inside 1st so you can secure all fittings to frame also alloy frame is the go and will have to re rego if you install gas stick to what you know

    If you want really light weight furniture you could build it out of foam board. It can be covered with plywood or paint and fabric to give it a hard surface. There are some vids on TH-cam showing how to make furniture from foam board.
