In this video we enlisted a third-party testing lab to find out...once and for all...which is better...Thinsulate or Wool.
Van insulation is a pretty hot topic and everyone seems to have an opinion on what is best to insulate their camper van. Well, we wanted to eliminate any bias or opinion and take a more scientific approach. We had the lab test things like weight, thickness, sound absorption, R-Value, hydrophobicity, odor and more to finally determine which product is the best for insulating your camper van.
This video has a lot of great information about things like sound and moisture absorption, but to be honest, it can be a little dry (pun intended). To make it up to you, we'll be releasing a much more entertaining video in the not too distant future.
