*Mods, I do not see any threads dedicated to insulation installation techniques; if there is already a thread on this please forgive me and combine if needed.
I have begun insulating my ProMaster with Thinsulate. I bought a 50' roll for total 250 sf.
I've got all of the ribs filled and now I'm wondering about the cavities down low that go below the bed level. I can reach my hand down pretty far in there - should I pack that out with insulation, leave some space, or? Any advice on this?
Also, I'm planning to get 25 sf of 50 mil sound deadening mat to put in random patches on the bigger panels for a little more sound deadening. This will obviously not cover the whole van, just a few places on the roof and on the bigger panels on the sides is the plan.. Any input on if that's worth it?
Photos of area in question, a roof rib about to get the Thinsulate pulled through, and what I'm using to do this install (minus the 3M 90 spray) - Thinsulate roll, cord, a coat hanger cut short with a little hook bent on the end to pull said cord, a bamboo stick for pushing Thinsulate as needed, tape measure, scissors, tape to tape the cord so that the weight of the cord doesn't pull it through and you have to do it all over again, as I did twice, and Coors Banquet beer.
