Not really,
You are promoting your ideas and methods. Which is great.
Maybe not for money but there is value and you are selling it.
Regardless, that's no reason to be passively aggressive towards me
when what we suggest does not follow your line of thinking.
Ah, where to start?
I suppose the best place is with you personally. Although I try very hard to keep personalities out of this forum sometimes it just isn’t possible or even advisable.
As a businessman who makes and sells personalized products (so to speak) you have a vested interest in selling as much product to as many people at the highest price and the lowest cost per sale. One has to suspect that is why posting on this forum, the Transit forum and the Sprinter forum is so important to you. Whenever and wherever you can get free advertising at someone else’s expense why not? Selling on Amazon & eBay isn’t cheap and making a few casual posts on these forums suggesting products you just happen to sell or manufacture is free so why not?
Why not? Because when someone sets themselves up as the go to, expert guy on just about everything and just happens to have a financial interest in all of their recommendations to people, the value of their expertise become questionable.
I’ve pointed out in the past that for a miserly $40 anyone can become a lifetime member of the forum and help support it but even that appears to be "too much" when you can do it for nothing - that alone tells me and others an awful lot about how you view the forum.
Now, back on the subject. Does filling in the voids in the channels, ribs, etc with insulation make the van anymore comfortable? Some swear it does others (including myself) say it certainly doesn’t hurt but the value of doing it is basically next to nothing if you’re going to cover it with anything, even something a simple as a piece of fabric or wood. I speak from past experience (and I have lots of it) and, most importantly, I have absolutely nothing to gain from from anything I post here other than helping others who may have less experience.
People may not agree with everything I post or what others post and that is perfectly ok and even good BUT it is very important to expose people to more than one point of view. There are many ways of doing the same thing (as others here have discovered) and the best way is the one that makes you and your wallet feel good about what you are doing.
