How I Cladded & Insulated My Van Ceiling (Step-by-Step Guide) | Ford Transit Van Build #9
How to Insulate & Clad Your Van Ceiling | Pine Lining Boards + Earthwool | Ford Transit Van Build Part 15 In this episode of my Ford Transit camper conversion, we take on one of the most transformative parts of the entire build — cladding and insulating the ceiling. I walk you through every step of the process, from choosing the right insulation, cutting notches around fans, installing puck lights, and getting those tongue-and-groove pine lining boards looking perfectly symmetrical. This ceiling not only looks amazing, but helps with soundproofing, temperature regulation, and gives your van that warm tiny-home feel. Whether you’re mid-build or just gathering ideas, this is a must-watch if you care about finish and functionality.
