Insulation for cargo van?
#12
I've posted up in the recent spray foam thread about my experience with regular old pink fiberglass residential insulation. Tried and true for 5 years plus. I sleep in it in all weather, comfortably I may add.
Basically, split it for thinner wall, mount it with bailing wire, skin with 1/8" ply. Glue carpet on ply if desired.

The Spray Foam thread, is that how it's now known as?
It's good to hear you don't have moisture issues. But personally I think it's better to use Roxul. You'll have fibreglass constantly in the air with your system no? Although you do have the advantage of weight savings, the particular Mineral Wool I used is heavy.
One thing though.. you go through all that trouble insulating, yet you left the pockets in the ribs empty. I am not against foam, I am only against the particular foam I used. I'd do the same over again, only this time I'd have used "Window and Door" foam. It's much more forgiving. I also wouldn't have sprayed the "vent".
