In this episode of our van conversion series we are installing our cladding on the walls and ceiling.
Throughout our build we have been aware to save weight where possible. We have the largest and highest Mercedes Sprinter van we could find and we have to keep the total weight below 3.500 kilograms. So weight is constantly on our mind while we are designing and building our van.
Making the walls and ceiling a light as possible, will have the potential to save lots of weight. So we’ve chosen the lightest way we know to build our walls and ceiling and still be strong enough.
We have chosen the thinnest cladding we could find. This came in lengths of 270 centimeters, about 13,5 centimeters high and about 8 mm thick. We will be securing these on vertically placed very thin flexible wooden battens, which we attached in regular intervals to the metal struts of the sides of the van.
