Insulating And Carpeting The Van Ceiling | Ep 3 | Nissan NV200 Camper Van Build

[@sarahnixon7704]

Just embarking on a small build myself and I for sure feel as though i am doing it wrong- So great to have you to help!!!

[@LensOfJames]

I still feel like that sometimes, so much so that I did a one year review video to check on things: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZXFi4l3bc1ji6c. Good luck with your van build!

Great job My son just bought a nissan like you And i did the same thing thumbs up bro 👍

[@michaelmuiruri]

How's his Nissan NV200 doing? I heard they have a lot of issues.

[@molly-nq8wh]

You're my go to for valuable information, thanks for all the videos! I've got a question, why did you choose carpet rather than ply? I'm converting a large transit and planning to ply board all over, but still interested in other methods. Thank you.

[@dotsona07]

Thanks for the video!

[@user-yz5oh4jj7v]

u are so creative!

[@usatrucking-f7w]

nice

[@cmsotostory]

Your videos have been so helpful in our van build here in New Orleans, LA! Can I ask you the brand of thermawrap that you use? Also, what is the thickness of your wall carpet? Thanks again for your series on the NV van build! Truly inspired.

[@LensOfJames]

Thanks, glad the videos are useful! Thermawrap is the brand, not sure if they sell it where you are but it's just foil bubblewrap insulation and the carpet is 4mm thick.

I have a question and I can’t find any help on KZbin! But I have a ceiling carpet in my rv, I want to buy very thin ply wood, cut it Into strips and than glue it on the ceiling. But will the glue hold on since it’s carpet? I need help

[@desrynne2720]

Just about to start my NV200 VAN So can you tell me why you didn't cover the beams with silver foil as they would be a cold area even though you have filled them with expanding foam

[@LensOfJames]

I didn't cover the beams with foil insulation because when I slept in the van (before insulating) they didn't gather condensation on their outside, as they are a cavity. However because I was carpeting over them I wanted to fill the cavities to prevent condensation forming inside the beams, hence the spray foam. Good luck with your build!

[@desrynne2720]

Can you tell me how much carpet you used to carpet your NV200 Nissan van and where did you buy it from? Thanks, Des

[@LensOfJames]

I go though my materials here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGKpg4yqYq6MsKs and I got my carpet from www.vanliningcarpet.co.uk

[@oliverbowen2431]

Great videos, been a super inspiration for my nv200. What was your method for measuring out the ply? Seems a real awkward size/shape

[@LensOfJames]

Thanks, the centre 2 boards are just rectangles and I made templates for the outer 2 boards, yhen drew them onto the ply and cut them out

[@djliamw7925]

@oliver make it easier for your self and use one larger sheet for the roof maybe?

[@LensOfJames]

Yes that's what I did, 1 full sheet of ply was plenty for the ceiling

[@hannahfalconer7803]

How did you do the electrics? I see you have LEDs in the van ceiling?

[@LensOfJames]

Hi, I haven't added any electrics to the van at this point, though my next video will be about that. The LED lights are battery powered ones I found on Amazon.
