Nissan NV200 Camper Conversion | Part 4 | Insulating The Roof and Adding Ceiling Mounts

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ต.ค. 2019
- In part 4 of the Nissan NV200 Camper Conversion series we will be adding on some wood to the ribs of the back of the van so that we can drill a ceiling easier onto the van once all the insulation is finished on the roof. We will also be spray foaming the interior of the roof ribs as they are not easily accessible to use any other type of insulation.
Some of the stuff I have used throughout the van build

Please note that I am not recommending any of the gear seen in any of my videos. The gear I use is what I have found works best for me at the time period I am using it. I have come to these gear choices through vast levels of trial, error, and experimenting with gear out on trail.
Gear, clothing, footwear, etc. are not one style works for all. Do as much research as you can, try out things in person if able, and make the best informed purchase decision for YOU. Do not buy gear just because it worked for, was showcased by, or recommended by someone on TH-cam
clever ideas and great work- looking good.
Thanks Tim!
Use Dynaliner for thermal insulation and acoustic isolation to better save more space for yourself and easy to peel and stick.
Hoping to get one of these and make the van
Haunted van? Looks like some Ghostbusters slime action going on in there! : )
Ecto Van haha
The fact that You didn’t get any of that foam in your beard earns a job well done in my book.
We had some of the remover sitting right next to the van in the event we got messy haha
Starting to come together Chris!
piece by piece! insulation for roof is totally finished, will be posting that soon. Will be installing the actual ceiling soon
What is the point of those metal ribs? Seems like a deliberate waste of space, design-speaking
how did you screw the wood beams in the metal. self tapping screws?
Pretty cool. How are you planning on insulating the walls and windows?
I have some thinsulate fabric insulation for the larger gaps and I still have about half a sheet plus leftover 1" insulation that I will use in the easier to reach sections of the walls / windows.
I need that template. And I think ill be using liquid nails.
Hi Chris, your videos have been super informative and helpful! Did you also spray-foam the small gap where the metal ceiling meets the top of the wood ceiling mounts? I wonder if leaving the space unfilled creates an opportunity for moisture or condensation to build up and risk mold of the wood over time. Thanks!
the whole area is loaded up pretty good with insulation so should be filled in. Im not too worried about moisture build up where I dont really have any intention on living in this full time
@@ChrisGoesOutdoors Great, thank you for your response!
It kinda looked like you're having a bad mustache day... the one side looked way longer but maybe it was just the lighting.
Great progress on the van! Where's the first trip going to be?
Ya its the solid lighting / iphone quality. No major trips planned but who knows
Do you have any concerns about the weight of the build out affecting the performance of the van?
The NV200 can handle quite a lot of weight. And even full loaded there is not really a different feeling to drive.
How many sheets of the insulation did it take to do the ceiling and walls of the van?
I got 2 pieces of 4 x 9ft. I used them on the walls on some parts as well but havent posted that video yet. Ive been using thinsulate for inside the doors and spots where the panels / spray foam would not be an option
sup bro..where you gonna take this beast?just catching up on the van series ...
Its literally double duty as my everyday driver now. No massive trips planned but who knows. Will probably be attempting to hit some of the Adirondack peaks in the near future so will be nice to be able to take it out there
HELL YES an ADK trip or 5 ....cant beat that! a sweet ass ride to watch sunrise in and drink cocoa...good shit homie
Fan? Flettner is small enough for NV200 so you don’t need to cut a big hole for Maxxair....
Don’t do spray foam cuz they’ll expand and break the woods if you watch more van life videos....
