I soooo miss having my van having sound deadner and insulation! I spent a lot of time and money setting up The Rastafalia, and still haven’t done Ophelia yet! I was thinking solid foam, or even having the inside sprayed with the expanding foam! Has anyone here had spray foam done??? Is that even a good option, considering seam rust will continue to happen, and I will need to get in there again sometime??
