We're Converting A Van Into A Tiny House | Why A Van?

We’re doing the van life thing! After coming home from an awesome two months on the road, and taking several smaller trips, we have decided we want more of the road life again. This time, we want it to be more mobile. So we’re doing a van build! We are building our custom little tiny home on wheels to go off and explore and adventure once again!

Steps And Products For The Build: First I cleaned the van floors, and swept, a clean service is a must for the adhesive later on. I also sealed any small screw holes in the van floor with silicone. Then I used old cardboard to make a template of the van floor. I first put the cardboard on a 1/2 inch sheet of 4x8 plywood. I first made the base template for the cardboard to the width of the plywood sheet, meaning 4 feet wide at the max. Then the rest of the length on the cardboard template in the van can be added to the length of the wood. Hope that makes sense. I made 3 templates and then transposed them onto a 1 inch sheet of r-5 XPS. One inch is not necessary but we wanted the extra insulation for noise cancelling purposes. We have a nervous pup. After cutting and test fitting the XPS, I then used it as a template for my plywood. They are the same dimensions and I would not have any bend from the cardboard to worry about. I used a jig saw to cut out the plywood. Before glueing everything down, I used a strip of duct tape along the edges of the XPS, this will cut down on any squeak that comes from the edges being butt up to one another. I used Fuze-It by Liquid Nails to glue the XPS to the van floor, only the top ribs. It’s not necessary to fill in between the ribs, It won’t really give you anymore support and it’s just more work. I then used the same adhesive to glue the wood to the XPS. I then added weight to everything so any warp in the wood would work itself out while helping create a good hold for the adhesive. An important note, you should leave about a half inch to an inch around the perimeter of your van floor. This allowed me to fill all the gaps with Great Stuff expanding foam. This actually tightens everything up even further. Also, from our research, it’s not necessary to drill the floor into the van, or even really glue it for that matter. Apparently all the weight from the couch, kitchenette, bed, gear, etc.. is enough to hold it in place. We just wanted that extra security. There are many ways to do this, we chose to go this route based on the research we have done and my own skillsets. We are by no means experts as you will most likely find out. Do your own research and work to your abilities 3 Sheets of 1 inch R-5 XPS 3 Sheets of 1/2 inch plywood 4x8 sheet 3 Tubes of Fuze-It Liquid Nails 2 Cans of Great Stuff Expanding Foam #vanlife #convertingavan #turningavanintoatinyhouse
