Wow no insulation. That’s the reason why I did a self build Ducato conversion. Always warm during the cold weather and doesn’t overheat in the hot weather. Glad you’re sorting it out now 👌🏽👌🏽
Hi firstly thanks for your time regarding videos really great and I learn a bit which is a bonus I was amazed doors was not inserlated will check my mercedes sprinter many thanks Andy
Today, I followed your instructions and fitted the sound dampening matting & insulation to our CV40 (Oct 22 delivery). The back doors were just like yours, devoid of both materials. The sliding door was exactly the same apart from 2 very small strips of sound deadening that looked about as cheap as possible and did nothing to stop resonation. Thanks for the tips & advice. Looking forward to a sliding door that does not sound like a drum when we dive over anything except a PERFECT ROADs, which is hard to find in Lincolnshire. :)
Good job! We use our Motorhome at least once a week late at night to do our shopping! Keeps things up to scratch and battery charged! It's nice to use it albeit for 20 miles! :-)
More excellent tips. I like the way you show how things are done for old fools like me 😃👍🏻 I think our front doors could do with this treatment. 🚐 Trev
I’ll tackle those at a later date, I can’t open the doors fully on the drive and I also want to fit security locks so need to get those before I do the insulation. Cheers for watching glad I can help 👍
Nice one rick well explained love the little table idea yeah it wasn’t your idea as you said but you showed us how to do it though 😃 , simple and effective 👍
Hi. I’m currently waiting for delivery of my cv20 so really enjoying your videos and tips. Did you investigate if the upper rear doors have any insulation already in place?
HI,Love your videos.Could you tell me how you are going on with your weight limit.We have ordered a new campervan from consort and it will be built on the new on the new fiat.I am a bit worried about the payload.We have two battery bikes which we will carry on a tow bar bike rack,plus all the extras ie three solar panels, awning etcthen clothes and all the other stuff.Do you find the weight allowance ok or will i have to up plate.thanks Dave
More great tips thank you. Is there anything to be aware of with the insulation with regards to it soaking up humidity or condensation do you think ? Thanks.
Great video and thanks for the tutorial. Would you be able to post a link to the sound deadening material you used. I have just tried searching on Ebay but there are so many options and the self adhesive squares you were using seem ideal. Thanks
Hi, loving the vlog. Question re insulating that back door. Do you not worry that adding that insulation would be a fire hazard with the wires? We are soon to get our auto trail expedition 66 from Brownhills so will be vlogging about that soon and our adventures. thanks
@@RickandHeather that's good to know, just wasn't sure and I'm not that knowledgeable when it comes to wires etc I leave well alone. Thanks think ill insulate our van when it arrives
I hope your Autotrail was better than ours, build quality not the best, no insulation, wardrobe door fell off, we are in the process and of part exchanging it for a motor home, and won’t be buying British again. Once bitten
Hi, took your advice and bought the same insulation. I also went for some Reflextix and silver tape to go over the insulation and create a moisture barrier. Was this something you considered? Ruled it out? Thanks again
@@RickandHeather Thanks for the quick response. Quick bit of research on moisture barriers in vans shows that some people are not agreeing with the current line of thought that barriers are important suggesting that they can cause more trouble than they save. Think I'll be taking the barrier off in the morning. Thanks again.
Hello, I wonder if you can help me, do you think my Elddis autoquest CV60 doesn’t have insulation either and could you please tell what tool you used to get the clips off and where I could get one. Thank you for your help.
If you mean in the back doors it’s highly unlikely.... can’t tell but more on the CV owner Facebook page have none..... the tool is like this www.ebay.co.uk/itm/293846787061
Yet again for the amount of money you have paid you've shocked me , just would of automatically thought it would be well insulated everywhere 🤔 that little table is great Rick, Heather spot on 👍
@@RickandHeather I don't think you should have to be doing that at that price . This day an age all that should of been done I am really surprised , it's the first thing you do when you convert ya own van ain't it 🤔
I do not understand a new vehicle that is not insulated in the counters make you angry given the price, how is this possible? In mine they are all insulated with special adhesive material there kyros. Ducato 2300 130hp. Marco

Crazy isn’t it? And a snip at £45.000 😂
@@RickandHeather you’d think it would be better insulated for £45k 😂😂
Old thread, but most seem to be like that! Easy to add though!
Also between the back doors, a 15mm pipe insulation tube fits nicely, when closed.
Pipe idea sounds good 👍

Nice one great tip👍👍. For anyone else reading we had an Encore coach built that was also lacking in insulation .. Stay Safe Steve & Jan
It’s crazy isn’t it but seems quite normal 😳
Love the little table great idea. Nice to see you’ve insulated the doors hope it feels toasty now.
As I said can’t claim credit for the table but yeah great idea isn’t it? The insulation has got to help I’m sure, thanks for watching 👍

Great video, I did wonder about insulation in the back doors. I pick up my CV60 next week all being well, just waiting on DVLA - thank you.
Glad to help!
Love that little table mod, I can see you there on a summers night watching the sun set with a drink. Fingers crossed for 12th April
We’ve booked loads so it best be opening up! Coming up your country for 2 weeks as well!
Get wonk round and he can use the little table😁.
Good informative video 📹 👍
Such a shame to see, but equally no surprise that there was no insulation at all in the back doors. useful video.
Mate, it’s shocking build quality in places really 😳

You gotta pass these little ideas about Mike as you know we’re all in this hobby to enjoy, help and share our experiences 👍
Rapido charge £240 for this, makes you wonder. Thanks for the video, you just saved me £210 it costs £30 for the trim tool and the insulation on eBay.
You’re welcome glad to help!
Great vid, Thankyou. Have you noticed a noticeable difference to the cold spot at the rear after adding the insulation?
It’s definitely warmer for sure!
Hi. I’m currently waiting for delivery of my cv20 so really enjoying your videos and tips. Did you investigate if the upper rear doors have any insulation already in place?

Hi thanks I replied on the other post 😊
Great videos, Have you insulated the two front doors yet
Not yet no, I’m “eventually” going to buy some front door lock protectors so waiting to do all together 👍
More great tips thank you. Is there anything to be aware of with the insulation with regards to it soaking up humidity or condensation do you think ? Thanks.
No, it’s made of recycled plastic bottles so no damp issue, I used it in my T5 and it gave no problem at all.

Will you be carpeting the door panels, they might look better and add a bit more noise/insulation
Maybe, Heather’s mentioned it I did my T5 but it does go “bitty” so I’m undecided yet.

Don’t see how it can be a fire hazard? No reason to worry, all wires are insulated and I’ve kept away from the door lock motor etc.

Good luck with the van, we looked at those, great value for money, let us know your channel details when you get it

Hi, took your advice and bought the same insulation. I also went for some Reflextix and silver tape to go over the insulation and create a moisture barrier. Was this something you considered? Ruled it out? Thanks again
Not really, the insulation is plastic based and was fine in my VW, the factory stuff is actually foam type, I’m more worried about that....

I've recently bought an Adria Twin on a Ducato platform. Rear doors are exactly the same. Can I ask where you got the insulation from?
eBay but just search recycled insulation not “Campervan insulation” they seem to add a few quid on top for the word “Campervan”
