Dodo Mat Sound Deadening & Insulation - T5 Camper Build 

My favourite time on a Sunday morning Dan's vid where is the house update you promised us

Well done Dan, much help with my caddy build, cheers!

Hi.i am from South Africa.i enjoy your chanel very much. There is somthing very relaxing whaching you build these cars.i am a VW fan as well. I am a jack of all trades,master of none.i learnt a bit on how you are doing things. And I like it. Professional bud. I would like to restore one myself one-day. You have a nice day.keep save.thanks for the channel.

Living vicariously through this build, you seem to be building my perfect set up 🤙🏻

I sound deadened the other side of the sliding door trim on the rear quarter , it made a difference when closing the sliding door, I also took the panel off below the fuel filler, it was full of dirt and started to rust as it was holding water, it’s only a 10 minute job to remove and added a bit of sound deadening to that also removed the front wing arch liner, cleaned the panel and added up there as well as doing the underside of the bonnet

Great progress, Dan. Going to be super quiet and cosy👏👏

Nice Sunday watch in bed, I would love a camper, so expensive at time, great video

Great video, good to see another T5 on the channel. Keep up the great work!

I have use CT1 for fitting Solar panels to roof of Caravans and Motorhomes. I even used it once to repair the top Inter cooler hose of my Sprinter based Motorhome when it split and put my into Limp home mode. Or Limp to Scotland from Sheffield were we had stopped to look at a Border Collie that we were picking up on the way back home. I could have left it as a permanent repair it was that good. It is bloody good stuff. If you do get it on your skin then I found that baby wipes are pretty good at getting a lot of it off. even better is Isopropyl Alcohol. I often forget that I own gloves to keep my cleanish. I would love to do a van conversion. That was the original plan when were first thought about having a van to go off grid camping in. Ended up buying a Motorhome instead as I would probaly still be doing it now with all the other projects I have on the go with the House.

Nice mate, CT1, OB1, Soudal Fixall are all great locally available construction sealants and adhesives. All our conversions have them as readily available to me. Keep on keeping on buddy!

Waw Dodo is good stuff, well done Dan looking forward to next video

Acoustic plasterboard under the finished floor ply will make it even quiter too. It's used in apartments to deaden footsteps. Worth a think about.

I’m glad I’ve seen you use CT1 as I’ve got a tube left from my kitchen.. was going to use it to stick some sil covers on my Caddy 🤷🏻‍♂️

Enjoying this. Keep up the good work

I was looking for some sound deadening for my Corrado so will check out Dodo Mat - Thanks :)

I missed this episode. And watched it just now. Funny to see you insulating the roof and then a few episodes later see how you swap the roof for a Pop Top :D Nonetheless, well done Dan!

After watching this I feel my van hasn’t had as much sound deadening or insulation 😂😂 but then again I bought it fully converted

This will be a cool T5camper Dan. :)

I am looking for one of these next year for my first transporter build. Loving the playlists and now binge watching ur videos and the lowdown boys. Keep up the good work P.s if u ever think about selling hit me up 😆

The mole grip trick has returned 👍👍 Looking good already Dan. Also CT1 is seriously good stuff 🤟

Great video Dan I used CT1 on my build fantastic product 👍👍

Good on ya. My T5’s got many a battle scar but I’m never fussed where I leave it

Making good progress Dan, your van is probably better insulated than my house😂 the sound deadening really makes a big difference on the panels so it should be a lot quieter 🙏👍

Nice work mate 👍

Loving the van build videos 🤟

Great work again buddy keep it up. But also I want more home workshop progress haha.

CT1 is an amazing product. Bit expensive but it works.

“As interesting as it can be to watch me fit insulation” yet here we are!! 🤣

I like the outside of the van but… I still think it would make a massive difference if you take it to the detailer who polished the mk1 Golf and the caddy van

CT1 and Stixall is my go to for construction. Awesome stuff. Not cheap tho lol

No pop top Dan? Would love to see one fitted 🤔 keep up the good work mate👍

Where do you live Dan? You're dressed for the Arctic! Was 22C this weekend 😰 ☀

How did you fix down the ply floor... I saw the glued battens and 7mm mat, but did you screw to just the battens.. Or all the way through to the metal with self tappers?

Have a look into plasti dip, looks abit shiny and don’t scratch, 1000s of different colours

Get the door cards and window regulators out with the glass taped up and do inside the front doors, makes a big difference.. don’t you roll the sound deadening after sticking it down ?

Great video Dan. I’ve got my t4 to insulate next so perfect timing for me. Have you tried Transporter Heaven/Evesham Auto Spares for a tailgate? Maybe worth a call?

Yes

another great video thanks Dan. The ply that you cut into a thousand pieces and stuck down...why did you do that? i havent seen anyone else do it and wasnt going to do it on my build but now ive seen you doing it i feel like i should :D! i just dont know why LOL

Really good video. I am at the same point in my own van build (pre-facelift t5 SWB) and am just in the process of cutting out the bulkhead lip before I start on the sound deadening and insulation. Quick question, how much sound deadening sheets and insulation rolls did you use?

Enjoy I did great content

Hi from Sweden! How much of the different insulation did you use? I have a short wheelbase VW transporter with too sliding doors and dubbed doors in the back. Having trouble to know how much I need to order. Hop for answers Elislott

Interested to see the sound proofing under the scuttle panel, I have a 2.5 (2004) and it’s very noisy, are the 1.9’s generally quieter?

Do I have to cover the whole roof with sound ending how can I dispatch a little square bits in different areas of the roof

I’ve bought the dodo t6 kit after watching this can you tell me how many squares of deadening do I need as you look like Uve loads more than me tia

Hi, like to ask if you need to change the logbook with DVLA from van to camper?

You putting a false window on the offside rear? Or just having three windows?

How much wheight is add with all of this

Is this a LWB van??

Way to much deadning stuff. It's for floppy panel surface. The other dodo insulation already makes sound on tin panels dead.
