If you have a Westy, many area voids are filled with insulation.  I knew this, but almost forgot while installing a new rear wheel arch.  Remembered before anything started smoldering, but had to remove the inside panel to get the insulation out of the way.

What precautions should be observed when welding something on the van?
Disconnect battery ground? Disconnect ECU?
