It fits perfectly without any trimming. I do need to trim the bottoms of the molded wheelwell pieces since adding the plywood floor but that's no biggie. A few days ago, my neighbor gave me a giant stack of 1/2" foamboard insulation he had stashed in his attic ago so I added another layer of insulation to the walls. Free stuff is great! I figured filling any any gaps between the ribs with as much insulation as possible before putting the plywood up wouldn't be a bad thing and I still have enough left over to add a layer to the ceiling, so that's super cool. | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Feb 2016 Posts: 1,266 Likes: 43 old hand | old hand Joined: Feb 2016 Posts: 1,266 Likes: 43 | One tip I got that is something I’m going to do is to silicone the edges of the plywood. So where your plywood is showing in the back there, I’m going to silicone that edge to the van so if there’s ever any water that tried to get in there, the silicone blocks it from getting trapped and getting moldy. Helps keep dirt out too.

Helps keep dirt out too. Right on, I polyurethaned all my edges and sprayed them with clear Flex Seal. I'm going to run a bead of black seam sealer along the bottom edge to fell the gap between the wood & metal floor too to keep crap out of there. I used a wall-to-wall layer of Floor Muffler Ultraseal under the wood as a moisture barrier. It also did a really good job of soundproofing. Gonna use another layer of it between the wood and the carpet because I have enough of it left to cover the whole back of the van and figure it will make the floor even quieter. | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Feb 2016 Posts: 1,266 Likes: 43 old hand | old hand Joined: Feb 2016 Posts: 1,266 Likes: 43 | Awesome!

It's not for sale, though.
They pop up on eBay from time to time but usually don't sell cheap. | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 18,286 Likes: 557 | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 18,286 Likes: 557 | Yeah well for the last 2 months I haven't been driving due to medical reasons.
