@@Techelp1001 Cool thanks for the quick reply, I like how simple you kept this. We are going to pretty much do the same exact thing even though we have never built anything and it will be for weekends only for the most part. Keep up the great content and I appreciate the inspiration and ideas for my own build when it gets over 50F.

i bought a memory foam mattress from amazon for my house a couple years ago and when I first received it in the box I was thinking .... "that was probably wasted money" because it was compressed so small. lol I couldn't believe how much it expanded after the plastic was taken off and it turned out to be super comfortable (but I did add a topper to it)

@whitneyforbess5375 3 года назад
I recently bought a ford e-350 I’m going to build out, and one thing I’ve been mulling over in my head is if I’m going to insulate it or not. My van is all windows, on both sides, and I feel like the windows would cancel out any effect that installing insulation would have. I see that your van doesn’t have windows on the sides, so we have different situations for sure, but I’m still wondering if you have any thoughts or advice about it perhaps? Cheers, and nice build!
@Techelp1001
@Techelp1001 3 года назад
You can read online on insulation and how to install it and it is very controversial. After reading everything I could, we settled on this basic insulation in the van. I feel like it cuts down on some road noise and makes it heat up a little bit slower in the sunlight, so overall I think it was worth it but I wouldn't spend tons of money insulating a van because in the end as soon as you open up the doors it's the same temperature as outside.

Sorry for the delay in responding. I wanted to measure again. The top of the bed frame is right at 13 1/2 inches off of the floor and the mattress in 6 inches thick. I am 5'11" and have room to sit up though I normally lay back on something because my head is right at the ceiling when I sit on the mattress.
