FITTING OUR FLOOR // VW T6 VAN // Dodo Super Liner Insulation & Safety Vinyl Floorcovering

Welcome to our channel "Van Life Crisis"! We are Carla & Sam from 'Up Norf in't England", proper Yorkshire folk who are having a little mid-life crisis and want to take you along for the journey.
In this weeks video we finish off the floor insulation and apply the plywood and vinyl floorcovering in our VW T6 Transporter. If you don't learn anything, hopefully you will have a little laugh along the way instead!
As usual, it goes without saying that THIS IS NOT A TUTORIAL! We are very much Newbs!
Please follow along on our journey to imminent failure haha

Enjoyable to watch

[@van.life.crisis]

Thank you! ☺️

[@mikewalker2679]

Great vids - looking forward to the finished van

[@van.life.crisis]

Thank you! 😊
Yeah you and me both 🤣

[@billycurrie7263]

Coming along, nice piece of lino 👍, bit warm 😃

[@van.life.crisis]

Thank you! Ha! Yeh working on the van during a heatwave isn't easy 😂

[@brynbron]

Could you clarify what side step you used please? As the floor is raised by the insulation (mine is the 7mm version, and then the additional 12mm floor and around 2mm for the altro liner, the original step is no good, the slightly deeper kombi step is also too small, and the caravelle step seems too deep!
I'm stuck, would be great to hear how you dealt with it!

[@van.life.crisis]

I'm not 100% sure what the product was called but it was from Kiravans and was labelled as the deeper threshold version. It fits, not quite like a glove because the underlay does raise it up ever so slightly, but it fits well enough for me. I'd rather have the underlay than a perfectly fitted step.

[@njelsslein361]

hi there, great footage. How did you attached your playwoodfloor on de insulation?

[@van.life.crisis]

Thank you! I just used double sided tape. It's heavy enough and shaped to the van that it won't move.

[@sipepguru]

Hi, any updates on the van, what double sided tape did you buy please.

[@van.life.crisis]

Hello! Yes sorry we know we have been absent for a while. We will get back to it soon, but something has come up that has meant we haven't been able to focus on this right now unfortunately. We will be back soon though and will FINALLY provide an update with the van. Thank you so much for watching our videos though, it does mean a lot to us.
Regarding the double sided tape, unfortunately I don't know as I was lucky enough to 'acquire' some from my previous job. I remember it was very good stuff though, very strong, so perhaps just ask at your local DIY store what they'd recommend and maybe just try one roll and see what it's like. Sorry I couldn't really be more help.

[@VdubNoob]

Hi, where did you get the altro flooring from, nice colour!!

[@van.life.crisis]

Thanks! They are called Harrison Trim Supplies in Cleckheaton. They do all sorts and are really helpful.

[@dannysykes8544]

Hi mate, when you put the ply floor over the dodo lining, did you fasten it down or glue? If not is there much movement?
Liking the content, thanks

[@van.life.crisis]

Hello, yeh so I put double sided floor tape down along the ridges to try lock it in place. Not sure if it's necessary as it is a very tight fit anyway and isn't moving, but figured it wouldn't hurt. I didn't fancy screwing it down but I may need one screw by the tailgate as this doesn't quite sit down as flush as I'd like.
I hope that helps!

[@dannysykes8544]

@@van.life.crisis thanks mate much appreciated 👍🏻
