Van Insulation: Using Havelock Wool to Insulate our DIY Campervan

what did you put in before the wool?

Hilarious and so helpful ! Thank EEW so much

Did you run the electric wires before you put in the insulation? Great video. Thank you!

Hey, very much appreciate the video.
Just one thing, unless they have changed their way of processing havelock have 8% borate chemicals which they try not to mention all that much. It doesn't seem to be any harm to humans, but it does make it less sustainable and reusable.. in saying that, I still found it to be one of the best options out there.

any update? are you happy with your choice? :)

Cost?

Why not just buy a conversion van? This seems like a hassle

Like for the intro! :D

Extremely helpful and appreciate the insight, tips, etc. Our Promaster is a 3500 159wb, so your video and instruction carried even more value to us. Our Havelock has been ordered and waiting delivery.
Thank you both!

Any discount code for the wool insulation?

look for a plastic crochet hook so paint doesn't get scratched up.👍

Are you going to paper before you panel??

Are you a kindergarten teacher 😆

Thanks very useful video!!

Too cute love your van great job 🌺💕🌺💕👍🏻

Hello, thanks for the video... Question please, did you cover the exposed metal, support channel/ribs, before you added your wall material?
Thanks!

Thank you.
Very informative and agreable. I’m subscribing.

I appreciate the humor and puns so much lol

Where can I buy mold resistant string? Any home improvement stores?

Can you tell something about your longterm experience with this kind of insulation? Thank you.

how do you build the walls, flooring, ceiling?

Wonderful video! Just wondering why there wasn't the mention of two-sided tape strip to hang the insulation?

What thickness wool did you buy? I looked at their website and they have a listing for van insulation that is just 2 inches thick, is this thick enough at R-7? They also have 3.5 and 5.5 inch thick batts with much higher R values. Thanks, loved the video!!

Do after a year how did the wool work?

what did you put up after the wool was installed?

Thank you for sharing this. Does it have a strong smell? I dislike sheep smell

insulation installation!!! ha!

Hey you 2,
Just ordered 2 pack of wool. Then I discovered your channel. So I just emailed them telling them to give you some credits/recognition. Hope they do,let me know. Yep, I doing my first build with a friend. Looked around at “insulation”for the “installation” and feel real good about this stuff. Ok keep up the good work.
I’m doing a 2019. Chevy express extended with a new high top installed by Wasatch Overlander in Salt Lake City. Yep,flexibility is key when building anything. Is that what she said.🐑🐏🙏

Are you still happy with the Havelock?

You did right not listening to the Havelock salesman when he said you don't need the sound-deadening sheets. Those adhesive sheets help cancel out physical vibration of the panels of the van.

What length van is this?

The best sheep wool insulation video on the internet. Thanks guys it was really helpful and funny 😁

Very interesting. I am considering doing this in the future if I come across a cargo van to convert. Loved how you shared your mistakes.

another van life cringe couple...

Great video, the wood spoon saved my fingers. Great tip thanks.

Very helpful! ❤

Great video. Thanks for all the details. I am a new subscriber after watching your Iceland videos. Quick question: Wouldn't the wool settle to the bottom if you don't glue it to the wall of the van? Thanks in advance.

Why did you not use 3M spray adhesive other than that string?

I might have missed it that nylon string is that just regular fishing wire or is that something else?

you guy did a great job explaining all the way,,,,, we are about to do a promaster van.. please tell me how to get the Havelock Wool insulation material. thank u for shearing . God bless.

If you do not cover the top surface of the ribs with insulation w'ont the heat get conducted right through direct to the outer skin of the van thereby bypassing all the wool you filled the ribs with ?

It looks like you painted the furring strips below the subfloor before laying the floor plywood. What did you paint them with?

Thank you so much

What are all those silver pieces on the walks and floor?

Could you plz tell me why you didn't use glue to attached wool to the walls. I'm in the process of arranging a build and have seen glue it pins used. Thx. Ps love the jokes.

Hi there! would hot glue gun work for the walls instead of mold resistant nylon strings?

I think wool is good insulator, but this is a moving vehicle and this will all just move to the bottom thru vibration on the sides!

Hi guys, thanks so much for all this helpful info! I have a high roof Ram promaster 159 WB, how much wool(or many bags) do you guys recommend I get?
Please and thanks!!

Thanks for watching! We got a little silly in this video 🤪 Hope you like sheep jokes! If you have any questions about installing Havelock Wool in your campervan, be sure to comment below👇
