So, converting my 2018 T6 SWB panel van with all the usual first time errors! Panels out, windows fitted all round, dodo sound deadening and insulation in, carpet lined all going well. Yah!
And then the floor!
Following threads on here I went away from the insulate and screw straight to the metal approach and sikaflexed batons, dodo two in one sound deadening and insulation over the top and single piece 12mm ply on top. All good so far. Again with the ‘Yah!’ and feeling good with vanlife!
And then you try and secure the floor ply to the Barton’s! I now have 10 different boxes of screws of varying sizes and lengths. The 20mm as advised just didn’t get there and about one in four bit down. Gone to 25mm and probably 50% have bitten. My worry is that I’ll glue down the Altro at som time in the near future after hitting a speed bump too fast the floor ply will separate from the battons! I’m not putting a R&R or RIB bed in so that’s not going to hold it down just kitchen pod and slide out storage bed.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
