21. More soundproofing!

Well as I'm spending a lot of time and effort building this van I thought it should be as quiet as possible. The work I did on my previous van made it a lot quieter and I aim to improve on this with the new van.
So the floor area has no deadening in it making it quite tinny in places. So I've applied rather a lot of thin deadening to help reduce the noise. As you can imagine due to the shape and size this took a while and some effort. Still it is done now and I think it looks good. How much noise it'll reduce I don't know yet but it can't hurt. The van floor is the only area of the van that has no deadening as standard.
The deadening helps stop the panels ringing but it doesn't really absorb any noise, so for this I've fitted a 10mm heavy felt layer to the floor. This will help keep the van nice and quiet and also nice and warm as wool is a good heat insulator. More on insulation in a later update!
