I had an e-mail although from whom I dont know asking how I panelled the inside of my van. 

These are the only pictures I have as I didnt take any of the insulation behind.

So, just imagine the insulation behind what you see nd the rest I hope helps.

Any other questions feel free to ask and if I have pics I will post.

Best, Dave

forget the the carpet cleaning
I think you would make more fitting vans out

I doubt that on Dave's average job ticket.

That said, he is coming to work for me  next weekend and he's doing it for free so that will bring his average down a bit.

Nice cap and cove

The insulation was rock wool just be careful around the locks and cables that you tape it all securely or the locks can foul up.

The panelling was 3 lots of 1/4 inch marine ply.  I used 1/4 inch so I could get the bend of the van easy enough and I used 3 sheets so I had the strength to screw things too.

I think I used 1/4 inch and then 1/2 inch on the roof but cant remember.  I know thats what I did to my van in the states.

The floor is Altro safety and yes capped and coved for obvious reasons.

Alltec do out vans with a spray coat of some sort which I am sure is much better, certainly lighter but I like the strength of mine so again I can fix things to it.  Especially as my hose reel is suspended upside down and the racks are also suspended.  In fact nothing is on the floor or fitted to it save the obvious, water barrels, water softener etcetera.

One of the best panelling i have seen, and for a carpet cleaner brillant.
can you upload photo of van all fitted out

[liahona]

I will do it tomorrow as I am not on my computer now.  They are on this forum somewhere but I have no problems posting them again.

Is it white emulsion on the walls and ceiling Dave?

Shaun

Shaun, its about 5 or 6 coats of concrete paint with all the anti mildew and other goodies mixed in with it.

I used this to make it easier to clean and wipe down and 3 years on it still looks pretty much the same as when new.  I suppose I could have used just straight gloss but ended up with the concrete paint.

It cost a bit to set it all up and do but I am a fussy person as you know and wanted it right.

There isnt a heater in the back of the van but then it never really gets that cold here.  The insulation is fine as it is.   Where I was in the states it would go 20 below but for that I needed the heater and insulation.

Best, Dave.

P.S.  Here are a couple......
