Amazing, and you have a great idea also for the water filter tap etc (I saw on your website).. as I am building my own I was wandering why you did not use wool also for the floor? Sorry but is not clear for me in the video...
Cool build and cool videos. The one issue i see is you do not have enough openable windows. One widow is tiny and the other only bottom a bit at the bottom opens, combined with having one real vent.
Hi Goksu thank you. We always have the option of opening up the driver and passenger windows when really needed. We are planning on living in snow in winter time and too many windows will have a big effect on keeping the van warm.
Dankjewel. Ik ben om. Ik wil alleen nog wol en kurk op vloer wanden en plafond. Je kan dit wel lezen toch? Ik eet mn schoenen op als jij niet uit Nederland komt.
Hallo! ja klopt ik ben zeker Nederlands hahaha! lang leven het Nederlands Engels accent! Super super leuk dat je ook wol wil gaan gebruiken! Zoveel beter om met natuurlijke producten te werken :D
if wool can absorb condensation and releases it when "it can", what if it can't? It's not because you don't see any water that the condensation is fully gone... a bit of ventilation would help the damps to get out of the van while being in the sun, therefore any water in the wool would be able to get out... But if everything is sealed... Just my two cents ;-)
Hi Alex thank you for your Comment that's definitely something to consider although we took the advice of a company that builds custom campers and said that because our walls aren't completely sealed it should be more than enough ventilation for the wool to release any moisture.
But it won’t release any moisture if the air is already full that was my point... and if the moisture isn’t released, then it’ll stay in... with consequences for your van’s body...
@@AlexCailliau The van's exterior bodywork is not airtight. If any moisture does get in from inside the van, which it won't if you vapour barrier correctly, then you want it evaporating out of the exterior.
@@d1m4d my point is coming from inside or outside, you don’t want moisture in your insulation when it’s in contact with metal… Without insulation, any moisture will condense and go down the walls to the openings that are precisely made for this purpose: getting water out. If your insulation can hold the moisture, it’s never good for a metallic structure, how good it’s treated against corrosion… and if your barrier is 100% airtight, then what’s the point to have an insulation capable of absorbing moisture? ;)
@@AlexCailliau I agree with you that you don't want moisture trapped inside the wall cavity. Which is why it's best that it escape to the outside through the van's exterior. You don't want moisture travelling inwards from the outside into your living space. More importantly you don't want all the moisture you breath out going through and into the insulation. That's litres of water every day apparently. think we're on the same page but thinking about this differently :)
How has the wool worked in the last 2 years? Warmth and cold?
So nice to use wool!! You’re getting along so quickly!! I love the wool idea 🙌 so eco friendly
Thank you there is alot of mixed reviews about which Insulation to use but we are happy with our choice :)
Nice video! I always find the subject of insulation so interesting! We've just finished ours, so much work lol! Good luck with the rest of yours 😁👍
Thank You :) We found out its a really sensitive subject after posting the video. Your Van looks great by the way.
@@Thelostvan thank you! You're right, some people get really passuonate about the subject lol!

Really interesting. Good luck 👍 💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️
Thank you we really appreciate it.

The Paint on inside of the Van ?? er can you explain a little more please ? Thank you :)
Sorry for my late reply! in the blog you can read everything about it. it is a specail paint that makes sure there is not to much condensation.
