Sorry i havnt posted since i got the van. Since i moved back my dad got busted up by a bull we were unloading from a trailer and my mom just got out of the hospital from getting gangrene when she got her gallbladder out. As for the van Ive put frost king insulation all on the bottom and side...

Its frost king duct insulation. I appreciate all the advice i can get. Im not going for a full blown out conversion van since ill only be sleeping in i 3 nights a week and when i take the kids camping.

Here it is

Imtrying to post pics of the van but it says the picture sizes are to larg. So not sure how to downsize them to post them. Sorry

I think imgoing to buy frost king insulation and put it on the floor and sides and get some thick rubber floor matting to lay down. Probally wont put anything up under the roof since its already fiberglass so its already an insulator.

Ya ive read its more hype than anything. Imthinking im going to use Frost King rolls but mainly for the sound deadining aspect. And install a roof vent for summer heat. It already has a hole cut out on the floor. The roof is fibreglass so im assuming that will help allot for heat.

Has anyone ever tried the thermal paint that is supposed to reflect heat back out? They use it for roofs and stuff.

Well i bought the van and it is in extremly great condition. 1 rust spot on th side. Underneath looks good no oil leaks or anything. Drove 70 all the way back and it drove like a dream. A little wobbly when the wind picked up but not bad. The inside is 6foot exactly but the guy put 2 inches of...

Sheesh you gents know your vehicles. I am very gratefull for your help.

For the roof depending on how its put on there im thinking i can unbolt it and cut 2inch rubber floor mats into strips to go all the way around it so that i can raise the height inside.

Its a 4 speed automatic. The only thing im worried about when i drive in Missouri is the hills. And mpg

Im passing on the AWD vehicle. Found a 2005 express 3500 with 6.0l v8. it has around 80k miles. It actually already has a fiberglass roof installed its 6 foot exactly. Buying it for 9k... No rust or anything

Actually the one thing i am concerned about is its a 4 speed. Not sure that will be the best goinup and down hills in missouri for MPG.

Thanks for all the replys. I was meaning only replace it when it went bad. But i found another van with a high top already put on it. Its a 2005 chevy express 3500 6.0 engine with only 83k miles on it in very good condition for 9 thousand. Seems like the better deal than the AWD. :P

Thank you for responding. Ya i figured gas wouldnt be the best but i figure it will all even out in the end. I was originally going to buy a ford transit high top used for about 25-30k but its hard for me to justify getting allot of accesories i dont want or need. Like navigation and stuff. Even...
