Hey volks,

I checked the archives and can't seem to determine if it's practical to
insulate btwn the interior panels and the exterior wall of Vanagons.  Was
thinking about Scoreboard and such polystyrene and the isocyante/polyol
(high end/foil backed) sheets.  Has anyone used such in their van walls,
with success?

Am also thinking of the underbelly too since lots of loss occurs there.

Also, wondering if sound dampening is really necessary if I use foam thermal
insulation in the walls.  I'm thinking yes.

Also, is 3/16" the preferred thickness for sound dampening mat/rubber?

Please/thanks!
