Thank You! I am way behind on editing my van build videos.

Great video! What thickness foam did you go with? And how much did you need? I’m about to do the same for my van

Thanks! I used two sizes one for between the 'ridges' and the other to go over top of everything. The sizing below was enough to cover a Promaster 159 plus some extra. I ordered from Foam N` More because they were the best deal at the time. SKU: Minicell Foam-Charcoal-60" X 72"-1/4" Color: Charcoal Sheet size: 60" X 72" Thickness : 1/4" SKU: Minicell Foam-Charcoal-60" X 72"-3/8" Color: Charcoal Sheet size: 60" X 72" Thickness :3/8"

@@TravelnGeek thank you very much! I’m considering making a wood frame underneath. Can I ask you how you secured the top sheet? I prefer not to drill into the van if possible

@@marcomilano6486 I actually did not screw the plywood down to the metal floor it is only sitting on the foam. I did use pocket holes to connect the plywood sheets to each other. I felt once I build the cabinets and other structures on top of the plywood it can't go anywhere. I am attempting to keep the minimum numbers of cuts or holes to the vehicle as possible. I was looking at wood frame under the floor but decided to go with the maximum floor to ceiling height and skip the frame.
