Hi, loads of pics etc in the build threads section but most people choose Dynamat for soundproofing (makes a big difference to road noise), recycled insulation (B&Q etc) a non moisture retaining type, or/and alu backed bubble wrap, and then mega stretch carpet from Mega van mats. Make sure you get high melting point glue so it doesn't fall off during our blistering summers .

 

Awesome. Thank you

 

I just got one of these things too. I’m doing the soundproofing and insulation at the moment. I’m using Kiravans sound proofing tiles and am pretty pleased to be honest. They come with a sticky back and are very easy to fit. I’m only planning on putting in one window (drivers side rear) and needed around 20 tiles for the back of the SWB T5. I did a Vito conversion a couple of years ago and didn’t do sound proofing, the heat insulation did a pretty good job for sound TBH but I thought i’d go the whole hog this time.
For heat insulation I’m using low-e reflective foil insulation off eBay. I used this on my Vito and I’d really recommend it. Very easy to cut and manipulate and it’s really warm. You’ll need trim fix to stick it on.
I found fitting carpet a pain last time so am considering getting it done professionally this time. However it’s a few hundred around my way so I might just bite the bullet and do it myself. Time will tell.
I’m having a job working out the random additional RAC wiring. There seems to have been a leisure battery under the passenger seat that’s been removed. The wring is there but quite a few extra ones. Any ideas?
Decided against a pop top myself

 

Have an ex-RAC T5 too, I used Silent coat for sound deadening, recycled insulation from B&Q with YBS General Purpose ThermaWrap.

Also got some 4 way stretch carpet, just have to get the time to install it.

If you are on facebook there is a group for ex-rac T5's, that helped me loads when it came to wiring, split charge etc

Top info regarding the Facebook group , many thanks T:

 

Thanks StealthHotel for your comments appreciated and some good advice - My firm actually fund the RAC vehicles, so I am in the process of trying to get a copy of all the wiring diagrams etc. from the converter - Happy to share if I can get them

Talldan thanks for your note - some reading for me to do and hopefully help me get my Orange Beast to look more of a camping dream

 

A copy of the wiring diagrams would be fantastic and much appreciated, please PM me if you get hold of them! I’m gradually working through the conversion, if you need to bounce any issues off someone fixing up the same van whilst your doing yours feel free to message, cheers T:
