So, I've been quite slow at finishing the campervan conversion (lazy) and I haven't updated the blog for quite a long time too (also lazy), but I'm back on it now and it's come along quite a way from the last post! Not all of the pictures in this post were taken in the order they are on this page, so it might look like I'm skipping things but I will try and cover everything I can. Finishing The InsulationI've finally finished the insulation (except on the ceiling but it's almost there). It's a very simple task that I dragged out for far too long, using the insulation foil and recycled plastic loft insulation wool. And then it came to doing the floor... All I put across the floor was a layer of foil before putting in the new ply. The original ply was 9mm, so I decided to replace it with 12mm to add strength. I was told using 9mm ply could make it crack or warp under the weight of the bed and other furniture/ people. It isn't perfectly cut because I didn't really have a good tool for the job, but to be honest I'm surprised how well it turned out. Then I put another layer of foil (just taped to the wall this time using the foil tape) over the loft insulation. I did this to create a vapour barrier. I then just screwed the original wall ply on top of it ready for carpeting! There's also a sneak peak of the bed in the above photo ;-). For some strange reason I don't even have a proper photo of the bed, so I'll take some before my next post to show it off properly. Onto The Carpet and Vinyl Floor!Next up was carpeting the walls and laying the vinyl floor. I had some help off a friend with the floor and most of the carpeting, as its quite difficult and I'm pretty useless!
The vinyl was from my friends carpet and floor shop so I don't have a link to it, but the carpet was Contour Automotive's from Ebay. I bought 15 square meters, all in the 'Smoke' colour.
