Did it Make a Difference? | How to Soundproof a Van ( 2003 Kia Pregio )

[@Joseph-tt5rb]

Please can you send a link for the sound proofing material, thanks!

I love your videos. It definitely inspired us on a adventure to tumut and Junee last year. Have you got any ideas what we can do in the southern highland area with 4 teens. I like that your videos are things you can do on a budget and exploring to.

[@TheHassewells]

Oh cool! Hope you enjoyed exploring those places :) We haven’t done much investigating of the highlands, but Jesse suggested Wombeyan Caves and Kangaroo Valley. We’ve driven through Mossvale a couple of times and it looked like it would have a few things to do. From memory there are a couple of distilleries near Bowral that I’ve had on the list for a while

[@freeaus3902]

Awesome do you know of any brewery’s in that area? Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll have to check the caves out that’s a good idea. We did stop at kangaroo valley last time and loved it.

[@TheHassewells]

Jesse says Eden Brewery in Mittagong might be worth checking out. He hasn’t been there though

Cool project, well done! I am thinking of getting a Pregio myself and I wanted to see hoe the seats are attached to see if it would be possible to install swivel bases under the seats. I have not seen anyone doing this on a Pregio. Do you think that would be possible? Anyways, nice video and I wish you a lot of fun with your van!

[@TheHassewells]

I know nothing about swivel seats at all, so not sure! Mine has that cargo barrier and I find it useful for my needs, so I’ve never looked into any of those options.

[@StephanSails]

@@TheHassewells Thanks for the reply :D Okay, that's something for me to look into myself then

Bonjour moi j'en ai un kia pregio équipé en camping car fait par la strada ,pour les sièges comme tu vois sur la vidéo il sont fixes sur la trape ki se soulève pour accéder au moteur, moi suis de la France. Si je fait je doit repasser un contrôle de modification ,qui s'appelle les mines, je suis très satisfait de mon kia pregio année 2000. Cordialement

Thanks for the video. Do you think the sound proofing was worth it now that you have been travelling around? Do you mind telling me how much did it cost roughly.

[@TheHassewells]

It’s a definite improvement driving around town. On the highway it’s still really loud and I ended up getting noise cancelling headphones for longer trips. I think it was about $90 (AUD)

[@christierc1]

The tab on the fuel lock just pulls off towards the passenger side , then just push it back on

[@TheHassewells]

Oooh I’ll have to try that next time

[@doggzy5131]

Has it been worth it

[@TheHassewells]

I would say so. Not the night and day difference I was hoping for - especially on the Highway where the sub is just as loud as it always was. But driving around town the reduced engine noise leaves room for the radio to be heard. Possibly we should have done inside the doors too

[@TheCuratorIsHere]

Use Bose QC35 instead ;)

[@TheHassewells]

It has improved it somewhat for city driving, but I did get sony wh-1000xm4 for the highway 😂
