Any Experience With Insulation?
I have recently bought a Ford E450 Box Truck which I will be converting into an RV. I have some work ahead of me! My first job will be to insulate, and I am thinking about using closed cell Poly...

Before spaying the E450 cargo box van with spray foam insulation, I highly recommend the install of a ceiling vent (variable speed) and small side windows as well. Get the small RV rated side windows that can open up. When roof top fan pushes air out, the OPEN side windows allow air to come into the large cavity. Variable speed fan motor to adjust both CFMs and sound as well. re: - click here - And, remember to install the roof cover over it. re: - click here - Note: Pick black over bedroom areas and white over living room area. Thus, control light entry as well.
For good video to install vent and Maxx air cover, surf: - click here -
Note: before screwing down the vent assembly to the roof, add some dicor sealer between the roof and vent flange. Give vent assembly a few small 1/2" twists (to squeeze some of the dicor out of the touching layers), then suck down the roof vent using screws. Thus, sealing the roof vent to the roof surface even better.
If not into large roof top fans with covers (and travel in NO snow regions), do investigate - click here -
If wondering, sealing a home, RV or even a box van cavity too much does allow moisture to be trapped inside it. Thus, best to install a power fan and "you" can manually control its air flow behavior. Just like folks install a power fan inside a RV & home's bathroom.
Hope this helps as well...
