My friend has got hold of some buble thermo wrap stuff, also some laminote underlay thermo stuff aswellas some plastic water proff ( onesdied!) foam stuff and maybe some bubble wrap or some 4mm foam bits anyway its cost me nowt! and i have a very empty camper so my question is!
Blue peter sytle! Can i insitulte safely my camper van with these products? I don't want my van to sweat? but i think it wil be vvery warm! just all that plastic maybe i don'
t under stand it! i was thinking of stickin it all together with insilating tape!(gosh going to have to buy somthing!)

i no it sounds a bodged but if it does and does well then i shall do it if there are any concerns and risks of encouragin rot etc or fire then i shall think again. I have to start this weekend and on a tight budget and just think waste not want not!

Thanks for any help.....

The bubble wrap stuff is supposed to be quite good. Heard of a few members using it on here. Going to be putting it in mine soon as well!!

I'm also going to be replacing the soggy rockwool in mine with thermal bubblewrap stuff. Just have to finish putting in seatbelts and get the lpg thing done. Oh, and get the engine running!!!

Don't think the stuff I've got is self adhesive

looks like things could get a bit messy!

Nice bus by the way, love the colour
