Sheep Wool and Cork Van Insulation and Fitting a Ply Floor | Van Conversion VW T6

Can we convert a van into a campervan with limited DIY experience?

We were supposed to be travelling around Australia and New Zealand in a campervan right now. Since we had to cancel those plans we decided to buy a second hand VW Transporter T6 lwb kombi van and we're attempting to convert it into our own wheelchair accessible campervan. Neither of us have a huge amount of DIY skills and Craig's spinal cord injury brings an extra challenges to DIY so this will definitely be an interesting project! Hopefully we can prove that it is possible to self-convert your own campervan as both a wheelchair user and when you have no DIY experience.

In this episode we insulate the floor using cork insulation and the walls using sheep's wool insulation. We are using cork and sheeps wool for the insulation because we are trying to be as sustainable as possible with this conversion and minimise our impact upon the environment. Sheeps wool and cork are also very easy to work with and they do not irritate your skin like other types of insulation. Sheep's wool is also great because you can pull it apart and stuff it into all the nooks and crannies. Then we install then plywood floor.
