Ha ha roadster – we haven’t
Ha ha roadster – we haven’t done anything yet! Just buying it all cos we had a bit of money come in. So that list was things we’re buying ready to get going.We won’t have the cash to do cupboards etc for a while so for now we’ve bought a ply kit, need to get electrics done and then veltrim. We’re heading to Cornwall in May / June so as long as it’s insulated and tidy by then we’ll be happy!
Re the insulation thanks Darren for all the info. We were thinking of Kingspan but not sure how much to buy of it? Anyone know?
Cheers!

To work out how much you need. Measure length x height to get a mtr2….ie say for example your van is 3mtrs long by 2 mtrs high= 6mtr2….x 2 sides=12mtr2
Don’t forget the roof as well. length x width…..ie 3 mtrs long by 1.8mtrs wide=5.4mtr2.
SO…..Total req. for that example van=17.4mtr2.
Don’t forget the rear door if your doing them as well. Just a rough guide, and get just a little extra for “eff ups”. LOL.
(Some people do the floor as well).February 8, 2012 at 7:07 pm #133897mgroadsterParticipantTo work out how much you
