Episode 3: Adding Sound Dampening - Old Coot Van Adventures (OCVA) - Van Conversion

Old Coot Van Adventures - Mercedes Sprinter 144 Van Conversion - adding Sound Dampening to the walls in order to cut down on the rattling of the thin cargo van panels. This is probably the easiest part of the conversion since you simply peel off the backs of a section cut to cover 25% or more of each panel that is not going to be replaced with a window or vent.

This is one of our videos about converting a Mercedes Sprinter 144 Van to a Class B RV Van. Free yourself to get out on the road without being tied to RV parks. See the OCVA Van Conversion Playlist for more demonstration videos of the process.

I highly recommend FarOutRide.com as a web site that has tremendous resources relative to the van conversion decisions. For a fee, you can unlock additional resources. Comparisons of various methods and appliances are probided as well as full tutoriials on installing the electrical system and the water system. http://faroutride.com
