Waterproofing a ply lined van.

Hi guys,

In your experience, what's the best option?

dont bother waterproofing the floor...just take the ply out and put some plastic load liner down.....or a large rubber mat.....

ive never heard of any WFP window cleaner ending up with a rotten floor due to not waterproofing their van and its certainly not happened to me either....
price higher/work harder!

I used speedliner.  Only because it was a new van and meant to last many years.   Not just for waterproofing but to also to protect against heavy use or scratching.

As Daz said. Probably nothing to worry about if you don't damage the paint work on the floor. If you do that is when rust may start.  Your van is water resistant on the outside so the inside should be the same. 

Best fix is to mend any leaks straight away.

I agree with most of the above but I used protectakote more because it's not slippy like the van paintwork.

Sounds uncomfortable, I am sure you must be breaching some employment  law.

No need to take the ply off of the sides. Useful for putting hooks and stuff into.
