Hello from Wisco

[Klupduck]

Just purchased a 1995 chevy p30, 15' cargo, double back doors, sliding bulkhead, and lift gate. It's in great condition, and the interior came with walls, all covered in business carpet, and a 6.5' room on one side, looking for ideas to not have to tear it out. Also, will the carpet cause moisture issues? There is an onboard 5.5kw generator also, but I'll be adding 400w solar. Any advice is welcome! Take care!

Any advice on reducing road noise from the dogbox, etc, would be awesome.

Welcome, Klupduck. That rig looks like it has lots of potential. Enjoy it

That will make a nice deck at any level... truck looks in good shape! Endless possibilities. First thing would investigate what the steps will be to get from being a commercial vehicle to personal or recreational... I like that it has an onboard generator. Not sure about the room... but there are lots of videos out there and forum thread on different vehicular types with some knowledgeable people chiming in. Good luck!

Welcome Klupduck,

To insulate the dog house, you can use this product below.

I have used it myself to cover wheel wells and the fuel door bump (glued on).
Then I covered the whole thing with carpet, also glued on.
It works great, not only for noise, but also as heat insulation.

That actually looks a lot like the insulated bags that my imperfect produce comes in, like a high-density bubble wrap sandwiched in mylar...I appreciate the tip!
