This is part one of my insulation oddyssee and things are not going great. First the delivery takes it's time, the wood insulation is much harder to work with than initially thought and I discover a leak in the van! But worst of all are the foam insulation panels; the van is curved so it's a huge amount of work to bring them into the right shape to fit the walls. Also this creates a lot of trash and I feel terrible about that... There are defenitely a lot of lessons being learned and maybe even some character built.
What I used this episode:
*Tools*
Special insulation knife (Dämmstoffmesser)
Sharperner rod
Folding rule
Electric drill
Jigsaw
GLOVES
Crosscut saw
Miter saw
*Materials*
SteicoFlex 80mm (Wood insulation)
Bachl PUR insulating panels (25mm, 40mm & 80mm)
Battens (25mmx45mm)

-------------------------- About -----------------------------
I've been living in my 1979 Mercedes-Benz James Cook Campervan for two years now. I loved that van, but it was itching me to do my own conversion; alone and without any experience. I sold my old van and started my very own van conversion!
In this Van Build series I will take you along my journey of building my own home on wheels. I will do everything from insulation, cladding, and furniture to the water and electric system. And all that while I'm learning how to do these things on the way. I will go through many hours of work, frustrating moments and defeats in order to achieve the experience of creating things with my own hands. I hope you're enjoying this series and maybe you can even learn something from my ideas & mistakes. - Lenja
