Hi all ..hope you're having a peaceful break .. myself and my son (21yrs) were about to purchase a T4 camper from a customer.. great price .fair amount of work required, registered ourselves on a T4 forum .got loads of advice and tips and felt like part of the family...THEN !! Got the insurance quote. 2.3k .... anyway,plan B, caddy maxi to convert..I'm a joiner/builder and my son is pretty handy and enthusiastic so not a bad start .. we've gone half on a 2011 ex BG van ... Runs great an really tidy but has a few issues that I won't overload you all with just yet .. my son love walking , canoeing,biking so that's his idea ..I'm just thinking peace and quiet with the two little dogs .. I'll keep you updated with photos so you can see the progress.. we are looking at diesel heater,leasure battery,sink and hob , lowering ,cut in side windows ,new Bluetooth radio/satnav and a respray .. the van stinks of horses inside (don't ask) so bulk has gone ,seats lifted out ..Im about to take all the rubber flooring out in the front as I know the sound deadening insulation is soaking ..once we've done that we need to see where the water is coming from ( hopefully a hosepipe spray will show it up ).. question 1.... What have people replaced the floor insulation with ? Plus any tips on water ingress ....I look forward to the replys..cheers in advance..
