Floor: We start with 3/4” marine grade plywood sourced from National Wood Products for our subfloor.

For this project, we framed out the floor with 3/4 plywood strips so that we could insulate under the subfloor with 3M Thinsulate. We used Sikaflex-252 to stick the plywood strips to the van floor and then installed our standard 3/4 marine grade subfloor on top after insulating between the flooring frame.

Like many of the vans we work on, this client opted for a Lifeproof Pinecrest Place Oak luxury vinyl plank flooring. We like the comfort, durability, and easy cleaning of waterproof LVP options.

The final step on the floor is trim. We used a 1.5” wide, 1/8” wall aluminum angle that we source from Alreco Aluminum in Henderson, CO to cover up the plywood and floor edges where they are exposed.

Walls: First step on the walls is to pack everything with insulation.

We used the DEI Precut Insulation Kit for 144” Sprinters on this van to help keep things warm/cool in the van. Once insulation is in and cable has been pulled behind the walls where it is needed, we install our wall panels with 35mm panel bolts and 1/4-20 Rivnuts set in the van sheet metal.

Our wall panels on this van were made of 1/4” plywood (again sourced from National Wood Products). Laura wanted her panels to match the rest of her cabinetry, so instead of fabric, this van got Formica Brite White laminated wall panels.

We upholstered the metal thresholds with Crypton Hyde Snow fabric to cover up all the exposed sheet metal and maintain a cozy feel.

Ceiling: Sticking with the white theme, we installed shiplap pine from Home Depot and painted it with Behr Premium ceiling paint.

For our hardwood ceiling installations, we add wooden framing to either side of the metal roof frame and then install the ceiling with brads and the same Sikaflex 252 that we use on the floor for a nice seamless look with no fasteners. Our standard interior lighting package includes 8 of these puck lights installed into the ceiling in two zones of 4 lights.
