Cosy warm

Right, time to get my teeth into a much more meaty conversion task and insulate the van.  I've read a considerable amount on the various forums about insulating.  An absolute mine of information and some really helpful people out there.  Do this, don't do this. Use this, don't use this. Try this. Etc, etc.

Debated techniques and materials with Dave over a campfire and a beer whilst in the Cotswolds and decided upon:

 - Flashbanding

 - Recycled plastic bottle insulation stuff from B&Q

 - Foil backed bubble wrap

 - Aluminium foil sticky tape

Panels stripped (some anyway). I want to keep the van functional so I'm going to tackle this a panel at a time during my evenings.

First panel done. 

Did a quick, light thump test on the outside of the panel and you can definitely hear the difference. Now for all the rest of the panels.

Do you remember my comment about factory clips whilst running the cable for the reversing camera. Bloody hell, really wish I'd replaced them when I first took them off. Why oh why did I ever put them back. It's a tedious job getting these beggers out.  I'll be replacing them this time around with "fir tree" clips so that they can be covered over by the carpet.
