I'm helping a friend build out a Promaster as a weekend camping rig. We're planning on installing the floor soon. The thought was to lay down 3/4" furring strips to create insulation bays and lay 3/4" subfloor on top of that. How are you all attaching your subfloors and/or furring strips to the metal floor in your vans? Drilling into the floor would stick the screw tips proud into the outside world and leave room to introduce rust. Has anyone tried a construction adhesive like PL Premium or Liquid Nails?
Also, this is only going to be a 3 season rig primarily around the Northeast. It's not a high top and they will likely only be inside while driving or sleeping. What are you all using for insulation? Is 3/4" rigid for the floor way overkill? Am I better off using Reflectix and saving 3/4" of headroom?
Lastly, how are you all attaching your rigid insulation to the walls and ceiling? I was thinking of using low expansion spray foam to fill the cracks around the edges and thought the adhesive properties in that would be good enough. Does duct tape or Reflectix tape take care of that? Id rather it didn't rattle between the exterior metal walls and interior furring strips.
