How to Build a Floor in a Van + DIY Van Floor Insulation (Havelock Wool 🐑) | Van Build Series

How to Build a Floor in a Van + DIY Van Floor Insulation (Havelock Wool)| Van Build Series.

This week the van build gets real. We start our first major project on a beautiful day in Truckee, CA - the van subfloor build! With absolutely no carpentry skills, and after doing A LOT of research, we're quite happy with our result. The subfloor is rock solid and there’s no more “slip ‘n slide” action when we walk in the back.

Since we’ll be living in such a tiny space, we’re trying to keep our build as non-toxic as possible. We were able to accomplish this by selecting Havelock Wool Insulation as well as low / no VOC / non-toxic lumber, paints, and adhesives. Look below ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ for links to the products we used.
