Finalising the ceiling insulation

After the sheepswool was covered with a polyethylene foil to keep moisture out, I did affix the original interior trim panels. The wool insulation has plumbed up the space between the ceiling and the panels, so it was a bit hard to get those again in place and affix them with the original clips: the distance between the trim and the wall had increased in some parts. But with a reduced number of clips the trim still does stay in place well. The LED strip at the rear which provides a great bright light when the rear door is opened, was affixed with cable binders to the ceiling trim.

Fixing the ceiling insulation

The temperature is still not very mild, is quite cold. But I decided that I need to make some progress with the campervan conversion, and so I did continue with working on the insulation. Added more alu-bubble-wrap foil in the parts where it still had been missing.

After most of the metal parts were covered by this aluminium foil with its air bubbles, the next step was to add a layer of thick sheep wool insulation.

Then the final layer of polyethylen foil was added, covering the wool layer, to keep the moisture out.

Insulation of rear doors

For staying in the car while it is not moving, it is essential to put in a good insulation everywhere. I had begun to put alu-air-bubble foil on the inside of the ceiling, and I did purchase a 5x10m roll of VelTrim (silver). Now I wanted to try out the VelTrim. The first object of my lining attempts were the read doors. First I put a layer of the alu bubble foil, to create an insulating layer. Then on top of that, I affixed a layer of VelTrim. It is a thick material, 500g per square meter, and is not easy to mold. So I had to resort to cutting and stitching around those edges of the doors and the rear windows.

The right door closes now a bit harder, needs to be pushed with force during the closing; the added padding appears to add some resistance somewhere where it bulges up too thickly for a smooth closing.
