My insulation theory, take a look.
Hi everyone, Please read this post completely before giving me your opinions, thanks! I'm working on my very first DIY camper conversion, using a 2010 extended Ford E250. At this moment the f...

I think what you've done so far is going to help insulate and soundproof the ceiling and upper walls, But I would still go in with either low-density foam spray OR low density foam panels (squishable open-cell) and do additional insulation on the ceiling and walls. The first layer does not look very thick and there is no magic insulation--and R-value is per foot, I believe.
As said previously, plenty of room up top to fur in around panels. I think the sprayed foam is going to help with the particularly conductive metal outer skin of the vehicle, but I think because of its thinness and high density it will not be as good an insulator as low-density foam.
I'm also very curious if any info is available on what the high-density sprayed foams WEIGHS.
I think some sort of sprayed foam for the lower area is a GREAT idea. I'm not sure which Sika product you're using (if that's what you're using), but Sika has a great rep in large vehicle applications (buses) and I know their website has plenty of info available, and phone techs to answer any questions. SOMEBODY will know about the potential expansion.
A good fabric store will carry the headliner material used in cars. I used this glued to foam panels as the cabin-facing layer in my TT, and it looks good, helps insulate and helps soundproof also.
I think you're making good prgress here. Kind of interesting that you post your questions only after you're halfway started, but it looks like it's coming together! Good luck!
