Hey guys and welcome to Episode 4 of my No Experience Van Conversion Series. In today's video I explain how to install and fully sound deaden the inside of the van. I used products from a company called DODO Mat and they were great and it really has made a big difference to reducing the noise inside.

Hi guys really hope you’re enjoying the van conversion! I know it’s all van build van build and more van build but very soon I’ll be back on the road for some more dodgy stealth camps and fun filled adventures!
Hi
I am agog to learnalong a you
The van build is great to follow along step by step!
Every new journey starts with steps like this...
Love how you are taking your time and doing it right !!! Excited to see the progress! Thanks for taking us along for the ride !🤙🏾
Cant imagine the amount of dogging this van could handle :-)
Two doors, could have a one way system of people in and out 🤣🤣🤣
@@BulldogBadger Human centipede!
@@BulldogBadger One way system? Just like a covid friendly pub, but for the "Doggin' Toboggan" you would need wipes and sanitiser on the way out too.
😂😂 I’ll be upgrading the suspension
@@draigygoch yay hello fellow badger
Those things at 8:54 is factory sound deadening. You can place the MLV over those panels as those areas are more prone to vibrating as deemed from the OEM.
The "Doggin' Toboggan" is coming along nicely.
We completed our van conversion about 4 months ago , the best source of information out there in my opinion is Camper Vibes channel. Lou and Emily completed a Citroen Relay ( Same shape van) conversion and without that channel our Van wouldn't look anywhere near how it does today. Lou makes in depth videos on literally every part of the build, and anything you're unsure of you can probably find a video from them.
We opted for a stealth approach and we didn't regret it one bit, but each to their own . It's your van, you make decisions that would best suit your needs.
Any questions i'd be happy to help. I like to think I've managed to learn something over the 6 months of shouting and swearing. 😂
If i was the one converting that van i would have given up by now.Hats off to your patience and hardwork mate🙏.Keep going👍
Thanks for not faking it and showing us how it really go’s when doing all this. I have really enjoyed the first 4 episodes looking forward to the rest.
No problem glad your enjoying them
Put as many windows in as you possibly can, is my advice. You want maximum visibility driving but also when parked up. Imagine being in the most beautiful scenery but it's raining and you can't enjoy the view. You can always make removable reflectix blind for windows for privacy and insulation. Check out a Canadian TH-camr called Eric Enjoys Earth for some tips he's got sound advice, having done van life for many years. Love your videos mate, it's coming along great!
Thanks I’ll check it out
Your van is slowly taking shape. It is looking good already. Keep going Will.
Thanks very much it’s getting there
I just started dying already when you shouted at someone for not indicating 🤣🤣🤣. Thank you for this video!
Hooray it's Sunday Afternoon 4 o'clock and I've been looking forward to this all week, keep the videos up and we can't wait to see it finished :)
Thanks very much mate appreciate it
I have found myself asking “is it Sunday yet? I need to see an update on Wills van build!” I like your vids a lot!
As I was on a low budget I used odorless flashband dubble bubble dubble foil then 50mm & 6mm celotex I have lived in my van now for 6 years & I have to say it works fantastic I been in -5 in winter nice & warm & really cool in summer your doing a quality job 👌 & i can see your OCD shining through Will😂 just like me 😊
Put in the back window... You can have sun come in and give you more light during the day. Also you could wake up to some beautiful sunrises.
A very good point
Also good for viewing when he goes dogging. Otherwise the people wanking outside won't be able to look in.
The support beams can be spray foamed with a low expanding foam (window and door frame foam).
Alsp a product from the USA Bedrug, and you can do the flooring of the van.
Thanks for the info I’ll look into it
Every time I watch your video I let the advertisement finish 👍🏼
Namesta
Reckon I should try that sound deadening on my neighbour. On his mouth and nose... he’ll be a lot quieter when he’s stopped breathing 🤨🤗
😂😂
Good to see you aren't cutting corners. For all the frustration of the time taken to do this properly, you'll end up with a far better product, and peace of mind for years to come. No regrets. Loving the work to date and excited to see it all come together. Kudos!
"Indicate, for f*ck sake".
That's like hearing myself whenever I'm out for a drive :).
there are people who do not use any sound deadening, some who use a few pieces here and there, and there is Will.
Waiting for your new E-book bro: "How to teach yourself more about yourself: Buy a van and convert it yourself without any prior experience". 😁. Will, you asked a while ago, what we liked about your videos: I love your honesty and enthusiasm and ability to bring a smile to my face even on the dullest of days.
Put in windows on the back doors Will. Lying in bed watching the sunset or sunrise, or just watching the world go by, never gets old. I would also suggest that both side windows have slide openers so that you get a nice through draught on hot evenings when you're tucked up inside. One slider does f*** all..
This advice may be a bit late pal but the trick with the aluminium foil is to not cut it but tear it and leave the end with a longer piece of backing layer so it's easier to separate. Also turn your van internal lights off or you'll kil your battery very quickly. I remember all of your struggles and I'm glad it's not just me. I learned over time as will you. Well done.
Re watching this, man time has flown by!
Lil tip .. fold a small (5mm ish) corner of the aluminium tape over (shiney to shiney) then you can easily use your thumb to peel the white backing off to get you started =)
Haha that foil tape stuff frustrated me for ages while doing my convertion! Eventually figured I out tho. So peal a little bit of the paper side of the end while it's still on the roll, then when you need a length pull out as much as you need peal the white back but DONT RIP it off just rip the foil. Let me know how you get on. 😁
Exactly. It drove me nuts until I worked that out.
I would say additional widows at the back. Also two videos a week would be good 😜
Would love to do 2 videos a week but some personal things have been taking up my time
Ladi and Margaret are a great source for inspiration but he is a perfectionist (his homemade E Bikes are insane)
Make sure any windows you put in are tinted to keep yr stealth..
The thing that might freak you out with not being able to see outside, is when you hear movement or other vehicles next to you 😆 you always think that you are the reason for them being there when in fact they have no interest in you at all 🤪
Loving the Van build series mate 🤙🏼🚐💨❤️
Hi Will! When using your knife only have a small bit of blade retracted! It's all you need and gives you more control and more importantly its much safer and your less likely to lose a finger! Keep up the good work!
Where there's a will, there's a whereabout!!
I've watched loads of these van conversions..your is the most entertaining..and the most informative so far, I did not understand those sound deadening pads, thought the insulation would do it...Now I see (hear) the difference...thank you Will.
Install additional external cameras on the side so you can watch what is going on easily when parked at a dogging site.
Wherever you decide to install your windows be sure to get top hinged (not sliding windows) so that you can have ventilation when it is raining. I have a T6 with sliding windows and it is a real issue when it is raining because it comes into the van.
Hey will's going by you last few videos can't wait to see the finished article
So maybe mid summer 2023😜 keep the good work up
😂😂 was thinking more like 2025
Top tip for the aluminium tape, once you have seperated the foil once just cut the foil each time off the roll not both halves.
Window in the back. Handy for driving and parking.
It wasn't boring at all!! That's amazing how much difference it makes! Congrats! 👍👍
Thanks Martine
Love this as a build thread, especially how honest it all is. Great content
No windows, keeps its more stealth and private. Just add cameras for a 360 outside view.
Get insulation and sound deadening on the floor to as most of the road noise comes from there.
Yup.
Awesome...Thank you for the video. Heads up, the guns usually have a wire that can flip out for poking into the end of the cartridges.
IF you accept my recommendation, put small windows in the back doors and insulate the doors with the DODO Mat. On the side door, I don't know if you're going to put a window, but if so, do the same, but with a bigger window. On the side wall, a reasonably sized window and on the ceiling, a skylight or something that can be opened for cooking or even for airing during the nights and preferably with a net to prevent the entry of insects. Don't cut the windows yourself. Look for a professional, because if you fail, it can be expensive. Keep up the good work.
That accent, makes it even more enjoyable 🥰👍
I'm tempted to put some sound deadening into my Trabi to not go deaf at motorway speeds. Good shout!
Very very jealous of what you are doing here my friend. I'm living my dream through you. Loving the work
Thank you so much for doing before and after. I havnt seen anyone do that so far. And thank you for explained how much you need to cover
"why is it coming out of the another end of the tube"😂😂😂
Can you tell me why 😂
@@WillsWhereabouts it's blocked, probably at the end of the nossel.
@@WillsWhereabouts If there's enough pressure it's easier for it to force out breaking the back seal than to push 1cm of solid stuff mid way up the nozzle out a tiny slit. Think kidney stones, except, well, with the ability for them to come out your nose instead. Sorry
Hi will. I push a screw into the end to stop the nozzle drying out.
I can sympathize with the rear doors window dilemma. When I tried to order, they were out of stock for 3 weeks, so I drove around like that until they came back into stock. Once they were available, I couldn't decide one way or the other, but the wife said she wouldn't drive the van unless she could see out of the back with a rearview mirror, so I fitted them. Wow, what a difference! Especially if you are not a confident big vehicle driver. Just being able to clearly see everything behind you, along with the door mirrors, is a must in my book. Not just that, spending time in the back is soooo much nicer when you have a view. I appreciate the stealth factor, but curtains are no big deal, and privacy tinted glass make it almost impossible to see though them during the day. If you are unsure, tape a large piece of cardboard to the rear window or your car, and drive around a bit. Seriously, just try it.
Did A great job you can really tell a difference. I think the funniest part is when you yelled at that other car for not having their indicator on cracked me up🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂 slight bit of road rage
Great updates Will. Keep going mate....it will all be worth it when your on the road with the finished van.
Thanks man
5:03 Man inserts screw by Hammering it into place ...! 🤣
Just used this video to source my sound deadening from amazon, thanks Will!
Get yourself a good quality skeleton gun, it makes a huge difference when applying splodge (silicon).
Enjoying the series, surprising how transformative the sound deadening is for the look as well
Well done! Love all the content you put out. Don't stress yourself out mate, just take it one step at a time and it'll be done in no time. It's gonna be GREAT once you upload your first stealth camp with that beast. Keep up the great work!
For a second I thought you were Jason Statham....😁🖐️
6 days were like 6 months plzz in 1 week put 2 video and I will keep supporting u buddy big fan and love yours video
Hi Will, another top video,it's definitely more quiet than before,a boring job to do but the results are worth it.the back doors,leave them as they are and just sound pad them.
You should add a air vent for cooking and pulling air from your van to cut down on moisture build up. You should also add windows to both the back and side if you can. Will let more light in and make it feel more open
The fan will be a great addition
I kept waiting for someone to knock back 🤔lol, another great vid Will, keep them coming, I love van builds.
If you real sound deadening put up egg crate foam. Either the individual squares or get the roll. If you use the square try to put them opposite of the one next to it like they do in recording studio's. Not to mention it will help with insulation for heat
Great vid again. Inspires me to do another conversion.
Yes put windows in rear doors 👍
Very nice job on your sound deading, I have a normal hatchback ix20 Hyundai and did all the floor and the boot floor and all the doors and the plastic trim of the doors and hatch door as well and the bonnet but the only job left to do is the roof and the wheel arch’s on the outside but can only do the job on a dry day as I don’t have a garage or car port
i wondered why i havent been seeing your vids, i wasnt subbed! now i am lol
These videos are brill and funny , given me the confidence to do my own build ,what would be helpful is how much of each material you used I.e how many boxes of dodo sound proofing you used I know different amounts depends on van sizes but your van would give a rough indication ( mines a lab transit ) can't wait to see your finished van 👍
Indicate - yes my pet hate. Gets me so wound up when people don’t do that. Great TH-cam videos. Think I’m going to jump and do my own 😬
No experience is right. Geez! 😂 No use in crying over spilled Sika!
You're such a tease Will. I know you've progressed quite a bit going from your IG account, so seeing you only now putting the sound deadening mats on is a big tease!! 😂🤣 It's looking good Mate and you're a champion for getting on with it and learning as you go.
windows with screens in them for sure so you can open them up to get some ventilation going on when the doors aren't open. I also think the back windows would look cool if they were the Amarine-made Boat Yacht Elliptical Oval Opening Portlight Porthole just a thought.. keep up the good work
Credit where credits due Will... I’m impressed with how thorough you’re being 👏👌
Thanks 🙏
Yes those patches are the original sound deadening, you need dry ice to freeze it and then smash it with a hammer to remove.
It feels like metal because it was painted over.
Will, the word is reverberrations, hence “the reverberrations”
Ouch my knuckles hurt ✊✊😂😂sounds like ur knocking on a cemented wall
i m from nepal .wish you very good luck
Dude I'm up to this vid so far and I'm f*cking loving it, laughing out loud whilst learning some valuable stuff, love it. I'm searching for my van to convert now (live in the UK 5-6 grand if anyone's got anything for me ;) )
And your videos will be my Bible. Big ups
Progressing along nicely will!
With those stupid silicon tubes, I find its best to remove the plasic nozzle after use, clean it out ASAP then put a plastic bag or tape over the top of the tube and gently screw the nozzle back on to keep it air tight.
Looking forward to next weeks episode :)
I'd say add the rear door windows, that way you can get a sunset/rise guaranteed, regardless of which way you're parked, and it'll be handy for backing up and stuff even with the camera you already have. Can't have too much light, and with thick curtains you shouldn't sacrifice too much warmth.
Thank Will for listing everything that’s so helpful 👍
Much easier with a list!
@@WillsWhereabouts it sure is
Have you factored in putting in a ceiling vent for your cooking!
I have indeed
Opening windows in the back are great for ventilation especially if you put a fan in front.
2:32 already a typical van driver 😂
I'm sooo invested in this van build!
Thanks for watching!
@@WillsWhereabouts No problem mate!
The tapping on the sides really reminded my of fawlty towers 😂 great video again loving the van build!!
15:17 that was funny haha
Knock knock who’s there it’s will another good video keep up the great work
Its 8:44. good evening was waiting for the video, finally ..
.
.
.
Thank you for uploading have a great weekend and stay safe will .if you are planning to have view from back than you can have windows overall depends on your design and how you are planning to use the back of your van.and a tip use dry ice to remove old or new insulation it comes of easily.
Thanks for the tips
It's definitely character-building😂....great content as always. Thanks.👍
Looking good bud and your humour is out of this world. Laughed alot watching this
Glad your enjoying it matw
@@WillsWhereabouts been watching your videos for a while now and this new adventure your on is inspiring to do it myself

Red wire nuts work great to cap off caulk tubes.
add windows in the back, you can always add a curtain or something also for more privacy, you'll get more light and airflow at night's
Really good video and I loved every min of it and put windows at rear doors and maybe something you can open for ventilation when needed
You should market a sticker that says,”Happy Days.” I’d buy it!
Good job! Will. It’s amazing how that thing works to eliminate the echo inside your van! thanks for sharing and illustrate how to use those materials very informative! Watching you from the West. you’ve got a helper is that your brod you did not introduce to us. 😊
Glad you found it informative I try to be but don’t always get the info out 😂
Good video, about to start on my Mitsubishi Express 4x4. Trying to figure out which way to go.
Looks like a space ship Will. Well done buddy.
Nice mention of Ladi and Margaret, was going to suggest them to you Will. been watching them too. Also take a look at Dares Drives, doing a 4x4 Mercedes van conversion, awesome guy, learning as he goes as well and shows a lot, been at it for over a year and making good progress.
Can’t wait for the next videos. Been following the latest build.
A couple of skylight would be good as extra ventilation. Just remember, the more windows that you put in the less secure it will be.
Absolutely phenomenal transformation. Well done you for sticking with it. Excuse the pun 😆
Who is that man, Will? Who is he?!
As well side windows don't forget a roof vent/fan that'll help in the summer 👍
Roof vent for sure
Taking shape nicely, it’s all a learning curve 👍
Sure is!
