New to Me 1993 B190
Posted: Tue Apr 16, 2019 5:06 pm
Hello all!
I recently purchased a 1993 B190 with the intention of doing some traveling with my pup Amos in the next month. We will be mostly in the North West, but my biggest concern now is how well it is insulated, and keeping my pup cool. We'll be boon docking mostly, so I intend to add a solar set up for DC power items. Can anyone advise on how well the roof and walls are insulated?
I am planning to take out the carpet and put down a vinyl plank floor, so I intend to insulate the floor then. As far as i can tell there is no insulation under the subfloor now, is this correct? Also, it would appear that the bottom of the walls, and the wheel wells are also uninsulated. This makes me question how well the rest of the van, the walls and topper, are insulated.
I've searched and read a few threads, but what has everyone found to be the best insulation approaches and materials, and how big of a job will this be, if I only do the floor?
Thanks for the add!
Chris
