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??
