Insulation

There’s a possibility that with decent isolation I can already spend a few nights in the van before my heater arrives, so today I went to see what I could find. The initial plan was polystyrene boards, but, for some reason, a 50x80cm board cost over 600kr/60€! I have no idea why that was the case, but rock wool was 235kr/24€ for 6.1 square metres of 50mm thick material. Each side of the van is about 4 square metres, and the top is 3.

What to expect from this blog

Besides van builds I will post some videos and photos I take on my trips, and maybe some sports related updates since the van is built around it. I already make some videos here and there, but so far I’ve been having to move around on a bike, so now I will be able to cover more distance :) this was done over a year ago: Check out my first post here.

Starting from 0 & future plans

On the second of January 2020 I got a completely standard Opel Vivaro with no insulation, no nothing, just a typical work van. I have a few plans that I outline in the following video: If you don’t feel like watching, here they are in text form: Must-haves(by order of importance): 1. Insulation 2. Bed(200x90cm) with foam mattress 3. Leisure battery 4. Heating(requires a battery and I don’t want to use the starter battery) Nice-to-haves:
