How we did it

Once the plywood was removed and the metal surfaces were clean, it was time to move on to a critical phase for driving comfort: sound insulation. The bare metal surface resonates and rattles when driving, so we installed a high-quality CTK Premium 2.2 mm damping mat in the car.

Insulating the walls ensures that the van stays cooler during summer heatwaves and warmer in cooler weather. In addition, the insulation layer completes the car's sound insulation, making the cargo area significantly quieter and more comfortable to travel in. For the car's thermal insulation, we used high-quality, self-adhesive black closed-cell foam insulation in two different thicknesses: Armaflex XG-19-99/EA (19 mm) and Armaflex (10 mm). Both insulations were utilized in insulating the car according to the surface shapes. The insulation materials were tightly installed between the frame structures of the Jumper's walls, and all possible cold bridges were minimized.

Durable base for transport: For the floor, the car's future use had to be considered: it must withstand heavy goods and wear, but also insulate against the cold radiating from the road surface.

Since the car was intended to serve both travel and cargo transport, we prioritized versatility in our solutions.

Roof and wall panels in place – Wood and light

Stylish panels were installed over the wall and roof insulation, immediately giving the car a neat and cozy look. For the roof, we chose a beautiful wooden panel, into which we embedded stylish LED strips. The LED strips provide even, pleasant lighting, which works great both when packing items and when relaxing on a trip.

Rails and cargo lashing – For travel and work

To ensure the car functions seamlessly for both purposes, we made the following installations:

• Mounting rails on top and floor: We installed sturdy rails to which furniture, equipment, or cargo can be attached if needed.
• We left the original cargo lashing points on the floor visible and easily accessible. When the car is not in recreational use, larger cargo can be safely and compliantly transported in the cargo area using lashing straps.

The project has been completed, and the result is exactly what we hoped for! The surfaces are ready, attachment points are in place, and the upper cabinets are securely fastened. The project proceeded very quickly, and all work could be done with ordinary household tools – so no expensive special tools or workshop were needed.

What was achieved in the project?

• The beautiful wooden roof panel with integrated LED strip and neat wall surfaces make the cargo area cozy and inviting.
• Driving comfort is now on a completely different level thanks to the damping mat and careful wall insulation.
• High-quality mounting rails and the visible original attachment clips ensure the car's versatility. The furniture is securely fastened with lashing straps, so it can be removed in an instant.
