eBook immediate DOWNLOAD - A year's research about what DIY builders are installing in their campervan build.

Research: What we found - Campervan builds often start with an empty work van.  It is a metal box on wheels.  While traveling, the medal box is very noisy as large flat sheets of metal vibrate as the campervan is moving down the road.  A solution for builders is to install sound-deadening material.  There are lots of choices from different manufacturers.  Builders seem to select the peel-and-stick product for sound deadening.  The issue is how much to install.  All builders cover the wheel wells in total.  Some builders cover the entire inner surface with sound-deadening material, while other builders only place the material in strategic locations.  It has been demonstrated that you only need to cover 40% of a flat surface to eliminate the noise from vibration.  Sound-deadening peel-and-stick mats are not designed as insulation.  Mats have an R value of 1.

AI overview:

To sound-deaden a campervan, first apply a thin, heavy sound-deadening mat to the metal panels to reduce vibration, then add layers of closed-cell foam or other insulation materials like foam board or Thinsulate to block airborne sound and thermal transfer. Finally, address specific noise sources by sealing gaps around doors and windows and using sound-blocking materials, like on floors or walls.
