    Even though I have a 136wb, I would have loved to have this information in my planning stages! Thank you for sharing :)
    BTW, for tall folks who are trying to figure out the best way to insulate the ceiling without losing head space, remember you only have to worry about conductive and radiant heat in that area. One way to keep the interior head-room is by filling that 1" space with spray foam or Thinsulate glued directly to the metal skin, then cover it with 3/16" luan sheets to stop the conduction. Radiant heat can be mitigated by ensuring your roof rack has boards across any space not covered by solar panels - this creates shade from the sun no matter where you go.
    Hope that suggestion helps.

    • @FrugalFactor
      @FrugalFactor  Před 3 lety +2

      I agree, but for the ceiling I will use 1" Polyiso, and will have a large roof rack/deck shading most of the vehicle. All that in future video's, stay tuned in :-)

    We are looking at the Promaster 236 and finding information on the details is daunting to say the least, if not impossible. Thank you for taking the time to provide these and your other video on "Options" and all your videos which I'm slowly going through... Aggravating my wife! She doesn't appreciate research.

    • @FrugalFactor
      @FrugalFactor  Před 3 lety

      Not sure what a Promaster 236. I think you mean 136) We are converting a Ram Promaster 156 Extended. The 136 would be a tight fit for full time living. OK, for weekend trips etc. Be sure to have a floor plan, and maybe tape it out in your garage. That's how I started!

    @grasshopper5087 Před 2 lety +1

    Thank you very much for this video. It is very helpful. I am toying with the 159 WB (not extended). How much of a difference is this 159 WB different from your Extended Version in terms of Under and Roof dimensions?

    • @FrugalFactor
      @FrugalFactor  Před 2 lety

      The difference in length is about 14". This is directly behind the wheel wells. But as I say in many of my video's an inch in a van is like a foot in your house! I suggest planning your van build full size. Build a model in your garage or basement.... see my mock up video czcams.com/video/-0NE2U1JoXM/video.html

    I've been looking everywhere for these dimensions! Great job! One dimension I am missing is the front seats from side to side & the dimension between the front 2 seats. Would you be able to measure these for me? Thanks again!

    • @FrugalFactor
      @FrugalFactor  Před 2 lety

      At the bottom of the seats the distance is 16 inches. That is exact, and touches the plastic cover on each seat. If you wanted to place a rigid piece of wood on the floor between the seats 16 inches would be the width. The closest is between the armrests at 9.5 inches. If your seats have armrests!

      @@msspgj The floor is unusual like a hard memory foam. We placed a rigid board between the seats for more support. There is a panel between the seats for access to the gas tank. You may use that access if you install a gas heater. Also, there is a drop off just behind the seats. That is shown in this video - czcams.com/video/GEeXinUX0Us/video.html

    Americans, when will you join the rest of the world and use the metric system? aren't you tired of those 7/16" and 7/8" ?

    • @FrugalFactor
      @FrugalFactor  Před rokem

      Well, I am happy with either the metric or standard system. I would use metric if the parts were available and the same cost. Here metric nuts, bolts etc. are at a much higher cost.
