- Insulating a van is a very hot topic in the van life community. Everyone has their own opinion on what the best insulation is and there are multiple good options on the market. Here I walk through the thought process behind my final choice. There are many pros & cons to each option, so this may help you with your final choice!
I decided to go with 2cm thinck closed cell foam insulation because it is water proof, a good acoustic barrier, heat resistant, lightweight, safe to touch, safe to breath, and easy to use! I will finish the walls and ceilings with 2 layers of Reflectix with an air gaps in between. This will add additional heat protection as well as prevent thermal bridges and act as a vapor barrier!
Check out my installation process and what I learned along the way.
For my Sprinter van 2H2L I needed:
- about 25m2 of foam insulation
- 30m of Reflectix (divide by two if you plan to do only one layer of it on walls and ceiling)
- alu tape
- spray glue (I used the red cans from ''Tesa'')
- ruler, a cutting mat and a sharp knife for cutting

I am Sandra. In January 2022 I purchased a 2018 Sprinter Van, Sherpa. I am using my stubbornness and drive to show individuals that they, too, can convert a camper van by themselves and on a budget, with a lot of learning, rolling up the sleeves, and getting to work. With this van build I want to create an adventure vehicle that's going to store all my surfboards, mountain bikes and skis and have some space for my friends to tag along as well in order to pursue the waves, fresh snow and good bike trails.
My want to inspire individuals to pursue their passion and to not be afraid to live a life differently.
