EP5 | WALL INSULATION | 3 layers of insulation on our van build | Vanlife | VanFam | Self Build

In this video we show the process of how we install the bulk of the wall insulation to our self converted van build.
25mm Celotex / Kingspan / ecotherm / PIR insulation, take your pick! This will form the majority of the thermal protection that the van needs. Some might say it may not be enough insulation for going to the arctic, however we need to balance the volume of insulation with the small space we have, there will be 4 of us in the van at any one time so interior space is cruicial. Bearing in mind that each human in the van will be emitting 100watts of heat energy per hour, so if the van is allowed to "leak" 400 - 500 watts per hour then then we should be fine.
The three layers are:
8mm sound deadening and thermal insulation
25mm PIR board insulation
3mm bubble wrap vapour barrier

You have some interesting building ideas. But for gosh sakes, improve your camera techniques and narration. FAR too much camera movement - pull back a bit and stop swinging back and forth. Use a stabilizer or a tripod. You have many minutes of pointless words. Use a script if you have to. Edit out more. You have great material, but it's almost unwatchable because of the low production values.

Yeah, I take your point, heavily. I filmed this stuff years ago, I used a phone. I'm really not good at this stuff, I'm not good at scripting, timing, editing and I completely agree with all of your points. I would like to believe that I'll get better at all of the above. Please accept my apologies.
