I got some dodo thermo insulation this week, it had brown paper on the back, instead of the plastic looking white paper he's peeling off. It's way more annoying to peel off because it rips easily and you then have to pull each little fiddly bit off. Adds way more time to the process. Look out for that
It’s funny watching you guys all rugged up doing the insulation. I live in the tropics in Australia, & my old van is insulated to keep the heat out as we regularly travel through the outback in the 40s. I love watching your videos 👍
Previous owner of my semi converted van used sound deadening on the roof as an insulator. I can report that in comparison with the thermoliner, sound deadening does not insulate 🤣 there's frost all over the ceiling except for a small strip where I replaced it with thermoliner. Good job i noticed before putting the ceiling up!
@Combe Valley Campers Hi, thanks for all your fantastic videos, so helpful. I have some of this liner to line the walls and ceiling of my sprinter conversion. I have already put some sound deadening mat, now want to put this and then the bottle fleece as you suggest. In the sprinter though there are some areas, vertical struts?, where it will be impossible to get this into as only tiny holes. If I don't put it in here will that negate being a vapour barrier? Does a vapour barrier have to be non stop, all seems raped etc? Or can I put this in all the places I can and then just stuff bottle fleece into the area where I can't? Cheers Beccy
Hi Leigh, would the 10mm thermo liner pro be suitable for floor insulation in a T5 camper? A lot of products seem to be out of stock at the moment but the thermo liner pro is available.
Looks like a great product, I’m about to start the insulation on my Van, do you recommend using the Dodo mat panels first then the Dodo mat on top or just the Dodo mat? Thanks.
Spent a lot of the weekend I stalling sound deadening and the thermo liner pro on a SWB T5. 10m is just shy of the full job when doing the full back doors with no window. I need to find enough for the sliding door and opposite side bottom so about 12m would be perfect when doing the roof too. Haven’t touched the cab area yet either.
Hey, great videos by the way really helpful for me as I'm just about to convert my crafter into an all season camper. Does the silver backing act as a radiant barrier and moisture barrier so you can just put ply over the top? I've watched another video from someone else where they said to add a gap of about an inch between ply and insulation to allow air flow?
So how would you finish off the fleece? Can I just as well first put the fleece and then put the thermo liner? Meanwhile scrolling if you have something about euro6, how you connect everything, ignition, wiring... I will have a Renault tho...
Looking to do our T25 high top soundproofing and insulation what products would you suggest for side, roof and floor? Can we use these on the high top sides and roof as well?
This may sound ridiculous but I am panicking that I didn't clean and degrease as thoroughly as I should have before applying the deadening mats. What is the worst thing that can happen if I didnt? I applied some over some old deadening and I'm not sure how spotless I got that.

Hi, can I just put this straight on the roof with the 2mm sound deadening below, then put on the headliner, or would it be better with fleece as a last layer too? I have bought all 3.
Having both the sound deadening and the sound proofing layer makes a huge difference when it comes to long drives and even the daily commute. The 2mm panels stop the panels from resonating and booming and the soundproofing absorbs the more ambient drone of road noise and external influences. The thermo fleece is the insulation to fill the cavities, voids and retains the heat
@@CombeValleyCampers Sorry I'm confused I'm asking for a comparison between the 2mm Sound deadening + pro thermoliner + fleece VS 2mm sound deadning + fleece. Because you said to use all three even with the pro? Like how significant a different does the pro thermoliner make?
I'd be more interested in the pros and cons of the "new" product and its features, not the install ... and you applying ontop of already lined vs. new installs ... gives one no basis of comparison to the old product or even competing products

a blunt trim tool is good for getting all types of under carpet material in those gaps

Thanks Stephen. Yes our workshop at the time of filming was about 0-1degree centigrade!
I live in Mandurah, it's a little cooler, and I have no plan to visit hot places when they're hot. Haven't decided whether to insulate yet.

I also found using the end of blade not great as it can pierce the foil too..used the end of thick round headed screwdriver..thanks
Roughly how much insulation & sound deadening would we need for our Ford Transit Custom? Cheers guys!
Just putting my dodo thermoliner on. It's got a clear film on the back. It's really hard to use the line guides as the light bounces off it!

How about using bubble wrap?
With all the large glass areas has it been shown that all this insulation is really worth doing?
Would this stuff in 4mm be good for the bottom of a rooftop tent?
Do you have any info on the u value of the product? Thanks
What is the R values of the 10 mm , I can see using some of this in places of my build on step van ,Best Regards Arthur
Is this stuff any good to use as a floor liner?
So how would you finish off the fleece? Can I just as well first put the fleece and then put the thermo liner?
Meanwhile scrolling if you have something about euro6, how you connect everything, ignition, wiring... I will have a Renault tho...
Can you use expanding foam to get in the the crevices
I know the acoustics aren’t as good but would it suitable for insulation
After Brexit, have you already shipped these products abroad ?
I might consider this, when start restoring my van.
If you utilise dodo sound deadening, plus the thermo pro plus fleece - do you need any additional vapour barrier?
Looking to do our T25 high top soundproofing and insulation what products would you suggest for side, roof and floor? Can we use these on the high top sides and roof as well?

Tbh, the sound deadening sticks very well. Unless the inside of your van was covered in oil, you should be fine
Any reason why you peel off the backing top to bottom as opposed to lengthways?
Because gravity is your friend
@@jakejohnson_ you’ve obviously never had to work on a ladder😂
This looks like a great product.
I assume it will be exactly the same for a T4???
Absolutely
@@CombeValleyCampers Am just planning my T4 combi strip down and redo project and this will be on my shopping list!!!

Awesome video as always, Can I use this on the roof and floor?
Would you still recommend using the 2MM sound deadening on the pannels first or could you just use this on it's own? Many thanks.
Yes Absolutely. Dodo hexmat is an excellent choice
@@CombeValleyCampers Awesome. Thanks Leigh.

2mm, then van liner, and if you have the cavity space, fleece too :)
@@CombeValleyCampers Brilliant, thanks very much, couldn't have done it without you 😀.
I would like to if that product can be used on fiberglass
Yes indeed.
How significant is this compared to 2mm sound deadening + fleece only?

The only vlogs showing dodo thermo liner pro are advertisements for dodo products..
Says it all
Rather only see their PET recyclable insulation.
This just a Armaflex variant. High environmental impact. Not a fan of that.
Still not as good as spray foam
The van owner has put way too much sound deadening on. Complete overkill!
