    Ok a couple of things price is a big factor the Van Liner is according to their website $130 per 5 metre roll so the roll is only 1 metre wide which works out at $26 per square metre . The 900 GSM is 1.8 metres wide on a continuous roll so you can buy whatever length you need , it was last time around $20 per linear metre which works out at around $16 per square metre so it is around $10 a square metre cheaper . To do a complete interior which is roof side walls wheel arches front doors tailgate and side door will use approx 30 square metres of either product , just remember the 900 is 1.8 metres wide so you would only need about 15 metres on the roll .
    I suppose I am biased as the 900GSM is pretty well the same specs as most car makers use and I have used it for nearly 40 plus years since it first came out . Ok you would need a glue gun and compressor to do the job but if you are lining the van side walls and floor etc with some sort of hull liner flex and then commercial carpet on the floor you will need a compressor anyway , the only advantage of the Van Liner is that its self-adhesive which can be difficult to get into tight spaces as it tends to stick before getting it where you want it ! Check out the link I posted earlier to see some more photos of where I glued the material too .

      Thanks heaps for the info! We will be keeping the multivan as functional as possible so we will be keeping the interior panels, carpet, track system, two captains chairs etc. So I’m basically looking for the best way to insulate the van so that’s it’s comfortable to camp in. I figure it’s a little bit different to say fitting a transporter out as you have a large base template to work with. That was the original plan but then we stumbled across a great deal on the multivan so we jumped on it. So do you think by insulating the roof, side doors, front doors and tailgate in the 900gsm underlay be enough to make the van comfortable in the hot QLD sun? ����

        In our van we often camp at a Moto Cross Park west of Brisbane and it can get very hot there during the summer period , on occasions I will have a snooze in the back and its quite comfortable even in the sun . I am sure it does work quite well as you dont feel the radiated heat from inside the roof .
