Insulating Van Walls With Blankets



This page will point you to a biblical van dwelling life via the gospel to eternal life: https://www.dontperish.com/the-gospel.html  

Here is a link of our daily van dwelling posts: https://spiritandtruthdiscernment.blogspot.com/2019/12/van-dwellers-preaching-christ-2020.html

We have researched many options for insulating our van walls and opted for the most inexpensive and easiest to do....blankets.

 Some people say that they will get condensation in between the walls and the blankets therefore making them rot but that's not what we've found.  When we were out this past winter we just quickly hung some blankets up on the walls and there was no condensation between the blankets and the walls until we took the blanket down and the warm air hit the metal walls.  We decided to go ahead and hang a thicker layer of blankets for both keeping warmth in (winter) and heat out (summer).

 While brother Jim was working on the roof top storage I was inside hanging blankets.

 Since the van walls are metal I was able to find heavy duty magnets with hooks to hang the blankets from.  (I used 2 fleece blankets on each wall for extra insulation.)  I then randomly attached the blankets to the walls with more magnets yet leaving air gaps between.  


The dark blue square is a window covering.  I sewed the bottom to the blanket and all you do is lift it up, tuck it around the magnet hooks on top and now you have an insulated window.  To remove it, simply unhook it and drop it down.

Simple and inexpensive!

 Hopefully that encourages you knowing there are simple ways to doing things that the average person can do.

 Have a joyous day.
