    To work out how much you
    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).

    Kapoc
    I used Kapoc which is made from fibrous tree strands. It’s a very good insulator and was reasonably priced.

    I boarded out with 5mm ply and then coated that with a thin layer of polystyrene which was papered over.

    Good insulation also keeps the van cool in hot countries; something worth considering if you plan on hitting the continent.
