Rear Kombi mat I believe.
That’s how it should be done... not all converters share the same attention to detail.
Well that too. I watched the transporterHQ video and they used dodo mat duo all over the floor, cab and rear. 7mm thick. I brought some as didn't intend on using a kombi floor but since had a change of mind and I'mgoing to lay one I think. Wondered if this at 7mm would have any impact on the kombi rubber mat not fitting correctly.. if that makes sense!
Is that all you need to put under the kombi rubber matting? That's ideal if so as I can then use the dodo mat duo on the walls instead of buying the extreme thermal liner.
Although 16mm extreme or 7mm duo mat.... Wonder if I'd notice the difference lol
If you were to fit a 12mm floor with batons is it ok to do it this way and bond the batons to the Dodo mat?
Hello all,
Perhaps a silly newbie question (again), once the floor batons are down, I plan to use dodo mat duo, do I put this over the whole floor include batons? Or just inbetween batons?
thank you

I think you'll run into problems with floor height if you were to Dodo Duo over the batons prior to fixing the floor down. This can affect lots of areas such as the step, seats and cabinets (if that is the end plan). Personally I would be inclined to screw and glue the floor to the batons to ensure rigidity so would only fill the gaps anyway. The gold/silver floor foil insulation (like this) seems a popular option to go over the whole lot as it is thinner but I don't know how this would compare to thicker foam just in the gaps.
Ok thank you for confirming what i was thinking, will dodo duo mat in between the batons in this case 
Hello all. Quick question, how do people reccomend fixing batons down to the floor of the van? I'm a little reluctant to drill loads of holes in the floor of my van so was wondering about bonding them but is this a daft idea. First time converting. Cheers.
As you say, don’t drill loads of holes.... stick them down with something suitable
incase it helps I’ve just done mine, I bought this, but only needed 1.5 tubes. It arrived very quickly

a reminder 9 mm batons and a 12 mm floor so that the Van Style or Van x deeper side step covers fit properly raising the floor any more sitting it up on the dodo mat over the batons raises the ply floor the step cover wont fit properly .
Tiger seal for bonding the batons down and a bit cheaper than silkaflex

I used Dodo Duo, battens and then 12mm ply floor with a vinyl covering to finish, which worked with the Kombi side step. Just had to plane a few mm’s of the floor to ceiling unit for it to fit correctly well worth the extra effort.
