Just to be on the safe side takes several dozen photos of the inside of your van before you put the insulation in. You will be surprised where you think you have a seam and you don't. This way you'll have a photo map of what you've covered up.
I have stuffed the frame of my last two vans with havelock wool. Highly recommend. It’s a lot of work stuffing it through all the little holes, but makes it a little ecosystem in there.
Pink foam board is a legit insulation in areas where it can fit. It’s closed cell so it doesn’t soak water and it has good R value, definitely higher than thinsulate cause it’s thicker
I doubled up on the thinsulate in my Promaster and it is amazing how resistant the van is to temperature changes. I also covered about 40% of the interior with Kilmat, the combination makes for a super quiet ride.
My advice don't cut corners anywhere. Name brand top notch stuff everywhere. You don't want to buy a top of the line sprinter then throw second rate stuff in it.

Chrome don’t forget if you want some of the speakers to work when the van is off, they need to work separately from the main speakers. Nikki learned that when she installed additional speakers in her sprinter. You might already know this because you used to install auto audio systems. But I thought I would just mention it.
Chrome, don't forget that you'll need to compensate for the affect of the sun on a darkly colored vehicle compared to a white vehicle which repels the heat in the summer.
I'm going to quit watching this channel for a few months not because I don't like it but I love this channel but I love to binge watch these van builds so I can get my fix lol. Can't wait to see this bad boy built
If you’re using the 3M you don’t need the deadening mats, it has sound deadening in it. Saves a bit of costs! Also it’s a good idea to cover all the metal where you’re placing wood framing. Helps with condensation, heat and cooling transfer. Many people do their entire builds wrapped with 3M, and then the thinsulate.
@@georgina979 if you like the build series, go check out his earlier stuff on his channel from the binge watch it all playlist you will also hear chrome swear a lot
I chose havelock in the cavities then the thinsulate on the walls and ceiling. Works very well!!! Also put some killmat for the noise. (Before insulation)
I'm in home construction building and remodeling, instead of Dynamat I'm using " FROST KING FOIL self-adhesive hvac duct wrap. Has an R3 value and reduces noise 🤷♂️. Also for floor, i used Zipwall exterior sheathing that is a water resistant and foam all in 1 and its only 3/4" thick total
When working on a new van I found it much easier to have a nice long folding work table inside the van to do my measurements and cutting. The table helps in doing many van projects and made it more easy then cutting/measuring on the floor, and going back in forth, in and out of the van. The only thing is you got to move the table here and there to do the each side of the van.
Hi Chrome, I have been a metal fabricator for 50 years. I'm retired now and looking forward to getting back to work on my 1940 Chevy coupe street rod project. I did a custom van back in 1977. I bought a new Chevy short van. So I find your videos informative. I have been wanting to insulate my street rod, so thanks for the info on insulation. Here's my question, I noticed in one of your videos the foam socket organizer in those beautiful tool boxes in your shop. I have looked, and I can't find them anywhere. I love the way the foam is marked with socket size. Could you send me a short reply where you purchased it. Many thanks, keep up the good work.
I used to Kilmat and EVA foam in my van and could not believe how much heat was blocked in the summer from the sun. And it was also a great sound deadener. My only word of advice is just don’t go overkill on the floor because you’ll just be wasting your money and it’ll still be cold unless you put radiant heat in it
@@stevencrawford9576 being someone who has done both bus and van builds What you were talking about really only applies for buses because within vans you have square tubing that goes the length of the fan that you can put the electrical inside of like on the top of his van as well as on the bottom also If you think about that logically, wouldn’t you want to insulate your van or bus first and then put the wiring so that it doesn’t have any condensation where the wires are to create a short
good choice! I've used closed cell foam in my Crafter and my dads 2021 Sprinter called Armaflex (german company) Because it adheres to the metal of the van, I didnt use sound deadening, saving a lot of weight. Been living in my van for more than a year, and can confirm sound deadening is not nessasary when using self-adhesive closed cell foam. :)
I used to be a warehouseman and can't wait to see your racks. Be very careful with the fork extenders, if you raise weight away from the mast you could find yourself in trouble.
Hey Chrome, I did exactly what you're proposing to do when I built my van, ie. Sound deadening then insulated foam, etc. I'm in Australia and have found it works pretty well with the intense heat we get, and the cold winters. HOWEVER, It doesn't matter how well you insulate the walls and roof, the main issue will be insulating all windows, and roof vents, and if you are leaving the cab open to the back then of course your windscreen and front windows. This is where most loss comes from.
that 3m thinsulate should work great for ya! it was either the 3m or havlock wool for me as well. I chose the havlock wool. It took 6 weeks for them to ship it then once shipped it took an additional week to receive it. It takes a few years for that farm yard sheep smell to go away too..lol my dogs freak out with it like cat nip..lol Keep at it Chrome! Good things coming.
I used 2 x 10 mm foam insulation with a aluminium foil on it,Vanliner. Then I did another layer of 19 mm Armaflex. I used 6.5 mm Baltic Birch plywood for the walls and glued Vanseal on the outside and carpet the inside of the ply. It’s probably a over kill having 39 mm of insulation. Anyway I’m very happy with the result. Don’t forget to remove the headliner for insulation. I’m in Australia and used Carbuilders products. Very satisfied.
A chrome put your head on the passenger side of the van when you sleep heaven for bed if you get sideswiped in the middle of the night your head ain't towards the road ok
Thanks again for a great video. I love whatever video you and Cruz are in😊. Have fun with the new van. You and Cruz deserve it. Also, thank you, Amanda, and everyone.
We used Kilmat on the walls only in the large sections, snake skinned the floors and a 1/4 way up the walls which is a spray in product. Havlock for installations just because it’s easiest to work with, you can physically rip it and stuff it in the holes.
I lied. We used Lingda sound barrier. Which won a bunch of awards. Self adhesive, foam one side and reflector on the other. But I would have most likely bought the Amazon basics if we had to do it all over. It’s a van not a competition stereo van. We made the sheets as big as possible to tie to top to the bottom. Which ever you choose will work just fine for van life.
You definitely want to use the close cell rubber before the insulation, it seals the inner skin from condensation. I saw a Van that was done in Europe. Also, put it on the interior after the insulation was put up and that seals everything. It is an added expense but gives you the best sound deadening, and no movement of warm moist air. That's the same video that I watched from the guy in. Uh, I think it's England.
Hey chrome Mikey here I just want to point out do you other cold zones you were missing like the channels in between the panels you should fill with expanding foam
I’ll be doing the sound deadening then the closed cell layer then the insulation this time round , n I’m in Western Australia, look forward to seeing the transformation of you van, leave visible tape so you know where your seams are ✌🏼 ✌🏼🇦🇺
I don't know about Mercedes, but most vehicle doors have drain holes in the bottom of the door. If you block those, water won't drain out which could cause your doors to hold water and then rust. Also be aware of any body holes that are designed to drain water.
I think doing a compilation video about your van life from start to now would be awesome. It would give others hope that are down and out on their luck. I am sure there is many many out there that need an encouraging uplift. Sounds like your journey would really help. Peace from Calgary. ✌🏻
Sprinter owners in UK have found that the plastic trim on the side of the van is held in place by clips. The holes these clips go into allow water ingress into the double skin of the sides and doors.
VANCITYSPRINT ... lol happen to love this vehicle but have an issue and warning... another channel said they had to silicone the plastic panels of the van itself on the outside of the van. so on the inside where you see the panel connectors poking through, make sure to silicone them shut to stop a draft inside the van... FYI also another channel has a walkup office in his garage. literally doubled the space. go for the mezzanine. funny i have read comments and yet to get to that point in the video lol heck you like MTB you may know of Seth.
I was living in a box truck until the wildfire in coloma Wisconsin, it didn't damage a lot of property but it got my truck. Been living in my car since then but almost ready to upgrade. Thinking of getting a Nissan NV 2500 since they are more in my price range.
@ yeah if you type in a winch elevator or how to build a winch elevator on TH-cam, there will be tons of videos to show how it’s done. It’s definitely a good video to check out.
Hey chrome do you know what’s gonna really be super cool, is that first time doing the dishes in your new home? I’ll be watching for that video yeah😁👍👍
we went with wool for our insulation and it's worked out well, esp for the exterior walls/doors. shoved it in every gap we could find and over-stuffed it before installing our wall panels. easy to stuff around wiring/conduit/etc too. whatever you think you need, put in 2x of it it was a bit more of headache on the ceiling, the sheets of 3m would have worked better there and we're in the process of re-doing that the one area i wish i could re-do and insulate better is the flooring, it really is noticeable in cold weather, although our espar keeps the van very warm
We did wool too. We used fabric to hold the batts in the ceiling. We used a burrito-wrap technique we developed for the walls. We also found WAY CHEAPER sources for wool... sadly late in the build.
My biggest worry is condensation. It’s bad enough to have your van rust on the outside, but haven’t rust from the inside because of the condensation that’s really bad news!
Important! Those Foams can be TOXIC AF! Especially as much needed in your application and off gassing in essence into your living quarters. Look into it well please Chrome!! ✌️
I was Kilzmat and thinsult in my Ram Promaster City van. yes, small van but quickly warms to comfortable temp, in Washington State. I used closed cell foam for where any wood touch metal. insulated floor, ceiling and sides. I use the van year round. glad I insulated all surfaces. left drain holes as is
Just to be on the safe side takes several dozen photos of the inside of your van before you put the insulation in. You will be surprised where you think you have a seam and you don't. This way you'll have a photo map of what you've covered up.
Perfect advice!

@@conradcoolerfiend Thickness has nothing to do with R value 🤣

“I have a babble problem.” 😂😂 And we love you for it.
My advice don't cut corners anywhere. Name brand top notch stuff everywhere. You don't want to buy a top of the line sprinter then throw second rate stuff in it.
@@MarkCrothers-d4q technically speaking under what you just said, wouldn’t that then mean that everything like clothes furniture would all be technically secondhand, which would then mean that if it wasn’t pacifically designed for the sprinter that it’s not meant for the sprinter
But if it’s designed for the walls of a vehicle, shouldn’t you treat all vehicles equally instead of saying that one thing only works for one type of vehicle
It would also be the same comparison as why buy something from one manufacturer when you can get it from a different manufacturer that’s cheaper, but built the same way
Chrome is on the smart side of things he’s using common sense but also figuring out what does the best job
Haha😂all those 900,000 homes with Home Depot everything is cool though sell ten of them and buy anything you want
Chrome don’t forget if you want some of the speakers to work when the van is off, they need to work separately from the main speakers. Nikki learned that when she installed additional speakers in her sprinter. You might already know this because you used to install auto audio systems. But I thought I would just mention it.
can it be wired to work w/ both systems?
Are you installing your bump outs, windows, and vents before insulating? What about wiring for exterior lights, plugs, or heater exhaust?
Chrome, don't forget that you'll need to compensate for the affect of the sun on a darkly colored vehicle compared to a white vehicle which repels the heat in the summer.
I'm going to quit watching this channel for a few months not because I don't like it but I love this channel but I love to binge watch these van builds so I can get my fix lol. Can't wait to see this bad boy built
