- On this episode we go over how we insulated and plied sound proofing to the floor of our sprinter campervan using Kilmat, Minicell and the stock factory floor. This method is used by many professional camper van builders, but its personal preference and you will have to assess your needs.

Welcome to the van build community. We also just started a van build on a 2003 Ford Econoline and posting short vids, don't have time for the long vids anymore. We look forward to your progress. Great start.
Keep It Simple is the best. Looking forward to your content as I'm planning on building a van.
Very interesting! I think of van build for retirement in 10-20 years and I'm thinking having the kill mat but also insulation carefully sealed and securely fastened but in a way that is fairly easy to remove to do maintenance such as treat any rust spots and check for issues like mold. I would do that not very often but frequent enough.
There's a lot of space in that van compared to many; good luck.
I like the video 👍
Kilmat does not absorb sound, it just adds wait to a piece of metal that would otherwise vibrate. But since the floor of the van has ridges it does not vibrate. So your Kilmat does basically almost nothing here.
A Floor with ridges still vibrates. Dampening reduced vibration. Might not be enough of a difference for you and I but we aren’t the ones living in the vehicle.
Thanks for the video. Will you be installing Killmat on the walls in such a wat where you cover the entire wall? A single patch on the wall panel seems wasteful. I know the 4 different mfg sites i researched covered every square inch.
No. For us, killmat is only needed for soundproofing on the walls. The van comes with some but the bigger window panels don’t have any. You will have to add that there. We will be installing havelock wool insulation on ours. Killmat is super heavy, so keep that in mind.
