Mercedes Sprinter Camper Van - Roof Battens
In this video we install plywood battens, finish the first fix electrics and foil tape the vapour barrier.
I've used 50mm Kingspan thermaboard PIR rigid slab to insulate the roof. These are held in place with stick pins and aluminium foil tape seals all the joints to complete the vapour barrier.
You can find stick pins in various quantities at

I'm using dry lining back boxes cut into the Kingspan insulation

I'm using a Dewalt 18v Li-Ion impact driver to screw in the self-drilling screws. A great addition to the toolkit and reasonably priced.
