Headliner Shelf Part 3 We insulated the cabin area with our recycled plastic insulation (https://bit.ly/2Aa1qnK) ♻ It's a pain to cut this stuff, and sticking it to the ceiling with our spray adhesive was tricky and sticky, but it got the job done!  Having cut and stick the insulation everywhere, we then covered it in a layer of reflectix (https://amzn.to/3ai2fbi) which was a lot easier to stick on. . #vanconversioninsulation #headlinershelf #insulation Van Conversion Insulation, Vehicle Conversion, Tiny Spaces, Unique Spaces, Converted Vans, Unique Shelves, Starting Line, Van Design, Workshop Organization

Oh how I miss straight rectangles 😭  Everything in the van is curvy, has a notch in, or needs about 10 measurements in order to fit just a couple of wooden beams in!  We have a shoebox with all these doodles in for future reference, no way are we remeasuring all this again the next time we need it! . #vanlifeproblems #vanlife #alternateliving #vanbuild #vanlifeplanning #vanlifemovement #vanconversionuk #vanbuildseries #vanlifejourney #vanlifer #vanlifedreams #vanliferules Van Conversion Layout, Planning Budget, Best Insulation, Wooden Beams

The van is really starting to take shape now and it's amazing to see how it's all going to come together! I'm so proud of how it's turning out and can't wait for the next parts to be completed!

Let’s play Coronavirus or PPE? 👏 this weekend we finished insulating the Berlingo roof and got ply drilled into the ceiling!

Next we battened and celotexed the floor and started to make the raised bed frame. Finally looks like it’s taking shape. #vanlife #vanlifediaries #camper #campervan #iveco  #Regram via @iveco_camper_adventure Raised Bed Frame, Taking Shape, Cladding

The van finally looks like a spaceship! I'd been looking forward to this time for a while - the insulation phase seemed to take forever to finish.~I used the same roll of vapour barrier as on the floor and sealed all the seams with foil tape. Water Pipes, Foil Tape, Barrier

Once the batons were in place on the ceiling, it was time to fit them to the wall. I started by marking up all the ribs of the van so that I knew what I could screw into.~For some of the full length pieces, I had to cut grooves into the wood to make it bend to the shape of the van. You can see on the 2nd picture what the gap is like before bending the wood to the shape of the van. House On Wheels

Few more bits and pieces of insulation popped in place, expanding foam sealing up some of the gaps nicely. Also marking out our cut outs for fridge vents and mains inlet.#van #vanlife #vanlifeuk #vanvibes #vanliving #vanconversion Expanding Foam, Van Living, Inlet
