Question: in the first part where the interior cargo bay lights are removed, what do you do with the wiring runs to those lights? Cut the wire? roll the wire up and stash it in cavity?
These videos are great. Thank you. Looking at doing a build out in the near future. We live in Canada near the mountains... so quite chilly. Do you recommend insulating the floor or kilmat and two panels of wood like in this video? Thx
8:41 .. There are many advantages to having the CAB of the van separated by a full insulated wall .. One of them is I do not have to worry about sound deadening, as any time the van is moving? I'm up front driving :) I'm just starting a 1994 Chevy Step Van build :) .. great tips here though nice video!! .. very professional!!
12:13 Hmm .. I plan to use standard Armoured Romex for all 120 VAC in the new van build .. I've done tradesman style work vabs before and it works perfectly .. I'd be worrest about that basically extension cord wire wearing though any where it touches metal :(
Amazing video and kit. Jeremy-what is the purpose of the 2x pieces of 1/2" subfloor? Why not just lontape/adhere the finished lonseal floor to the single sheet that is screwed to the van metal floor?
I just recently purchased a 15 lb box of bats and then a 5lb box of loose which actually sticks together pretty well🎉 there are only two distributors in the United States one is in Georgia and the other one is in Arizona or Nevada
Not recommended. Vapor barriers trap moisture inside a van, which is constantly being produced by exhalation, cooking, etc. Vans are not houses and are meant to drain and breathe since they are constantly exposed to rapidly changing temperature and humidity environments.

So ? This kit is labeled D for driver side ? DRIVER WHERE ? In the US ? Left side of the machine ? Or Driver side in UK / Australia / Japan / India / China ⚠️ I mean Driver side is actually more the right side to most of the world than Left side to US on a tiny part of the world that seems to have given up the art of different side names like Left side of the car and Right side of the car. Terrible naming usually equals terrible design one way or another.
Well the kit is made by an American company based in California USA. So yes it makes sense that’s the frame of reference they are creating from. I’m sure no offense is intended. If you contact them they might be happy to adjust for other countries needs.
These cnc cut panels are engineering masterpieces. Man that would make van build very easy.
We absolutely agree🙏
23:47 .. YES!! Too much is not good!! :) ..Surprisingly compressed wool (or fiberglass, rockwool, etc) REDUCES the insulation value!!
Thank you! You guys are awesome! Question on the screw on the subfloor, will that penatrate through the floor out to the exterior of the van?

If you had to estimate the weight of all of the items added in this video, what would that be ? Thank you, your video was well shot and explained.

Great content. What is the total thickness of the subfloor panel and the finished panel you screw to it?
Very nice...what is the thickness of the floor system? Are they 1/2" each (x2)??
The floor is 1” overall thickness.
Interesting price of the set.
Why don’t you insulate the floor?
So you don't insulate the floor other than sound deadening and a subfloor?
Amazing video and kit. Jeremy-what is the purpose of the 2x pieces of 1/2" subfloor? Why not just lontape/adhere the finished lonseal floor to the single sheet that is screwed to the van metal floor?
I also would like to know why? Thank you.
Maybe for L Track install.?
Are you guys happy so far with how the Lonseal Tape is holding up?
Yes, we use it when there are a lot of cabinets going on the floor. If the floor plan is open with minimal cabinets, we recommend the epoxy method.
@@VanLand Thank you kindly : )
how much was the cost in materials to insluate with havelock?

Where’s you vapour barrier?

Do you guys worry about the exterior trim holes ever leaking?
Check video 1, they leak tested everything.
This seems extremely over built and heavy
I wish people would stop with covering EVERYTHING with sound deadening.
Why
Serious question- why?
I was thinking exactly the same thing.

Real genius.
