To Insulate or Not To Insulate?

[ChestnutBrown]

I have a Kombi with an Ovano, so there is a small chance that I may do the odd single overnighter but on my own at a van show on a very small number of occasions.

I have use Dodo Deadn and the 6mm Dodo Thermo Liner, but I have not yet applied any Insulation on top of that.

My question is whether there is any real gain, plus what those gains are, for just regular daily driving?

Just interested in the pros and cons of not doing this stage, given my work so far being to reduce noise and rattles more than temperature regulation. For example, is there further gains noise wise by insulating?

Hi. I’ve too done Deadn and Thermo liner on my T6.1. Not sure how far you’ve gone, but I did the cargo floor (deadn only), cab floor and quit far up the footwells (both), tailgate (both) cargo roof and cab roof (both), sides and slider, (both) and doors (deadn only). TBH for your needs I’d say that’s enough. (IMHO). I got as much coverage as I thought necessary on deadn and then liner pretty much all over. Sounds (or not if you get me) much better. I’ve only added the Dodo Thermo Wool stuff in the lower rear quarters, tailgate, slider and below the fixed O/S window as it was cheap and took minutes. I’m not bothered about anywhere else. With the carpet lining it’s much better temp wise (I use window coverings too). I don’t feel there’s much to be had sound wise from the wool. Others may have different view.
HTH?
