PLEASE CHECK THE PINNED COMMENT FOR ANY CORRECTIONS!
Disclaimer: I am not a professional, there is no such thing as a professional van builder, there is no school someone goes to, some people just get payed more than others and some people have been doing this longer than others. But remember no one has any idea what they are doing, all we can do is listen to as many sources as possible and do our best. Good luck.
On that note, stop overthinking your van build & just get out there and build or adventure, none of these choices will make or break you and you have a LIFE TO LIVE, don’t waste it on overthinking insulation.
