Rust, Frame, & DIY Insulation // Van Build--Ep. 03

Van Build Series -- Episode 3

After I finished removing the rubber and wood floors, I cleaned up the rust by grinding it out. I painted the entire floor of the van with rustoleum paint to help prevent more rust from coming around. I used 2x2 blocks of wood as a floor frame to support the plywood flooring going over it. Then, I used XPS foam board Insulation in both the walls and floors. (I chose the pink XPS board due to its cost vs. R-rating ratio.) Any questions, put 'em in the comments and I'll answer them as soon as I can. 😃

MY VAN: 2001 Dodge Ram Van 3500 High-Top, converted from a handicap passenger van

MY DISCLAIMER: Most of the labor I did on my van was my first time doing those things, so I am very much not an expert. There are countless ways to convert a van into a livable home, this is just my way. This is a DIY budget van build, so I cut some corners you may not want to cut. Always use proper safety precautions and thorough research.

MY STORY: After backpacking in Europe and Asia for 14 months, I've decided to explore the USA in a converted campervan. In October of 2019, I bought my Dodge Ram 3500 and began converting it into my future home. I'll be living in it with my cat, Cosmo, while traveling the USA and experiencing #vanlife.

MY MUSIC: It all comes from the famous Epidemic Sound which you, too, can use via my handy dandy referral link: https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/umwsjk/😃
