Alternative to bubble rap silver, closed cell 2m x 50cm or this

[Sprinter 1 cup]

Looking at closed cell pe for van walls and ceiling membrane. As the closed cell ,I've only found max size of 2m x50cm lengths! £16. I personally like bigger sizes for less gaps !
underlay comes in lengths of 30m X 1m is this to heavy for vapour barrier ? For van.
found this stuff, sonic platinum 5mm acoustic underlay less than £79 and can do floor also

250 ltr Water tank arrived today, 8inch lid broken ! Arghhhhhhhh


TIA

But if you've got the space and the spare payload then it's great to have the option to actually fill it and really get to the back of beyond and not constantly be thinking about your consumption. Out of interest Sprinter does it have compartments within it to reduce the sloshing effect?

My thoughts when mentioning the weight of water, was that it would need support, restraint, and be positioned carefully to avoid imbalance to the loading of the Sprinter. Much the same as your thoughts on baffles to restrict load movement.

I have 140 litres across the width of Sprinter and over the rear wheels, can't tell it's there. It is baffled as well.

So water is better than insulation, so what about the wood floor under lay as a vapour barriers.5mm?????
And vented lid arrived today. Just as I got home from seeing the gang.

Hay ya! did you raise the floor or not ? Or garaged it. Still not locked that part down yet.

My fresh tank is 140litres sited under the French bed so maybe half way across the van. It’s not baffled

The idea with a water tank is to have enough for about a 5 days to a week and position it so it is cross ways over the rear wheels. This helps with grip and the weight is distributed evenly. A baffled tank is preferable as there is less sloshing around when cornering. Mine is situated under the rear bed and can be used as step to get into bed and as a seat . My vehicle is a Sprinter.

Thanks, looked at similar but wanted a thinner product. But that looks heavyweight and could do a job , where did you used it on your van?

I have 140litre tank under the bed going across the chassis but it’s all under the bed at the head end. Next to that is the toilet/bathroom with the shower behind the bed making an L shape bathroom. Mines coachbuilt though so you couldn’t do that in a conversion with a double bed. Like that van I saw with rear living area, sofas each side and a drop down double bed. Complete waste of space as no underbed garage space but looked good.

It's a curved surface, so being flexible it makes it easier to fit. I also use it around the engine bulkhead to reduce noise.
