  • Episode 8 of our tiny home on wheels build. After 108 hours( 216 total) we now have a solid and insulated floor. Our engine is covered, and some holes in the roof are sealed. We also added insulation to the structure of the bus to quiet it down inside.

    Yvan, Onan makes what is called a Hospital Muffler. I will be looking for one when I install the generator…

    Ahhhhhh enfin on commence à voir la réno prendre forme. J'ai surtout aimé la partie où on vous voit installer les différentes couches de revêtement de plancher. Encore une fois bien hâte de voir la suite! :-)

      Stéphane Lacombe les différent couches ont tous leur raison d’être. Dans la prochaine episode vous allez apprendre chaque utilisation.

    I'm surprised that floor penetrations will be made later. Is the rollboard ready to drill or saw through without snagging/fraying?

    • @LacroixCruiser
      @LacroixCruiser  4 года назад +2

      Rick Bartley yes, it’s very easy to work with. It cuts, drills and forms without issues.

    Looks like you're not using any adhesives and few fasteners between your layers. Also wondering why the vapor barrier is needed. I appreciate how you think things through and explain your logic and the results you're aiming for - would you share your thinking here? Thanks for your great videos!

    • @LacroixCruiser
      @LacroixCruiser  3 года назад +2

      Thanks for watching. The vapour barrier is needed because of the heat in the floor and the cold below it. We added more fasteners after, but while assembling we just put enough to keep things in place.

    Could you possibly tell us an estimate of what this same floor system would cost us to have done?
    Just the labor cost? Thanks

  • @andyjohnson4641
    @andyjohnson4641 4 года назад +1

    Great progress! Have you considered radiant heat in the floor? Or is it not worth the expense compared to your solid insulation system?

    Plastic and the vapor barrier? So glad I'm watching... Wouldn't have thought of either. Just curious why both? Also, why no roll board on the sides?

    • @LacroixCruiser
      @LacroixCruiser  4 года назад +1

      The plastic is the vapour barrier, we are not done with the walls yet, they will get EHP Rollboard.

      Since we relocated the bus from Arizona to Quebec it must pass a safety inspection to get plates.

    Bonjour, j'aimerais isoler le plancher de mon bus avec ehp rollboard, est-ce suffisant ? Dans une autre video que je ne retrouve pas vous parliez d'un isolant rigide qui était mince et très efficace et a l"épreuve
    du feu! Je suis dans la région de Québec, y a t'il un fournisseur dans le coin? merci et très instructif vos
    vidéos. Bravo

      Notre GMC a uniquement le EHP, avec grand confort. L’alternative aux EHP est le Ceratex 3170. Malheureusement aucun Fourniseur aux Canada.
