sylvan_lining Posted February 24, 2021 Hey all, I just purchased a new NV for a conversion that I will be living out of full time. (I am currently in my starter van, a 1995 Chevy G20 which I built out.) Has anyone left the factory cargo mat in there and just installed their subfloor over that? I was wondering if what is under the plastic is insulation. It looks like regular old carpet padding underneath but maybe there is more than meets the eye...

sylvan_lining Posted April 29, 2021 For the record, I decided to take the cargo mat out and use 1/2" polyiso. 1 radin2son reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evac05 Posted May 25, 2021 Smart. I did the same when I built my conversion, 1/2 polyiso and 1/2 plywood. I did not like the look of the factory under layer … thought it would retain moisture. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
radin2son Posted May 25, 2021 Recently vanlifers began sending weekly emails. NVs have appeared, at least in photos. They may be a good source for diy info. I haven’t taken the time to read their topics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

radin2son Posted May 27, 2021 (edited) Deleted last email but did look for a link to learn more. The only link I found was related to “monetary” support. I think it was VanLifers.com Next email I receive I’ll look at it closer. Edited June 1, 2021 by radin2son Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
radin2son Posted June 1, 2021 (edited) Another email. Clicked on first topic and sent to vanlifers.com Articles aren’t NV specific as near as I can tell. Mostly photos with general, how to camper van topics. Edited June 1, 2021 by radin2son Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
radin2son Posted June 8, 2021 vanlifers.com has a new article, “Why I chose a Nissan NV 2500 for van life.” Good read with a video. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
