Hello everyone!
I joined the forums a couple months ago and at that time, I was in the mindset of a solid tow vehicle and a converted cargo trailer. I pretty much have the mechanics of insulation understood for the CCT, but I started watching the youtuber DreamSideOut. He has converted a van-based box truck into a very nice RV. That got me thinking again about using a box truck and towing a sturdy truck for off-road adventures/short-term camping.
Anyway, one thing that I don't quite have a grasp of is floor insulation in a box truck. In a CCT, I would insulate on the inside, building up 1" - 1.5" over the stock floor. Do I do the same in a box truck or should I consider insulation from below? I just haven't seen the way that the floor is built/installed in a box truck to understand the best way.
Any advice (and warnings) about insulating and the box truck route in general would be appreaciated. I want to do the cab-attached-to-box truck built on a GMC platform because I understand that it a solid engine/transmission. 16' would be best.
Thanks!
