But enough of that. Back to motorhomes. Errrrm yeah… that sounds more like criminal damage to me, not urban exploration.

Would probably want to park up a fair way from target site and approach on foot. Yes I’ve done a bit of urban exploration, this van is great for weekends away.

It could be a bit squeaky but hopefully if I glue it down and firmly screw down the top sheet on it, that will stop the noise. Celotex will support a little light foot traffic with the top ply as spreader and regular battens. I’m not that keen on using Celotex.

Yes I will be insulating. I'm going for that rockwool spaceblanket stuff you can buy at Wickes. It's encapsulated in silver polythene which reduces radiated heat and also acts as a vapour barrier to stop condensation soaking the rockwool. The floor will be existing 6mm ply + 25mm Celotex + 6mm top ply sandwich. Good advice Rick. Yes I will be insulating. I’m going for that rockwool spaceblanket stuff you can buy at Wickes.

Looking forward to seeing future videos. This van is the taller version of my own van and I LOVE the high-up driving position. Take note next time you follow a ford transit - you can see the roof! which means your driving position is way higher. If I had to give one piece of advice, it would be to fit inulation. Rockwool is ideal. I didn't fit it, and seriously regret it, as I cant use it in cold conditions (temp drops scarily fast!). Rick. Hi William – looks like an exciting project.

I was thinking of getting something like this for urban exploration trips. I can't wait to see how it develops! This looks great.
