Campervan Sound/Heat Insulation Confusion
Posted: 10 Mar 2010, 13:46
Ok
I'm gonna soundproof and insulate my panel van prior to having a 1z fitted, wanna do it myself as much as possible as the engine is gonna be pricey. I've searched a lot on this and other forums but my specific questions never quite get answered.....
Do I apply sound proofing material first directly to the floor/door skins/side panels/roof and cover the whole area? If so what about waxoyling first- will this material eg dynamat stick to a waxoyled surface?
Is it then better to stick heat insulating material eg thermawrap to the back of ply lining/door panels before lining and carpeting the van?
One company has suggested their eggbox profile acoustic foam for the roof but has admitted that this material is moisture-absorbent.....bad idea?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
