Bo-dapter custom-made insulation panels for campervan floor (Transit)

Bo-dapter Insulation boards for floor insulation in Sprinter camper vans

Discover the Bo-dapter – the innovative solution for effective insulation of your camper's floor! Our XPS insulation boards are pressure-resistant (300kPa) and weigh under 5 kg for the Sprinter in length L2 or 6.5 kg for length L3. With only 18 mm of additional height to the floor panel, you maximize the headroom in your camper without compromising on thermal or sound insulation. At the same time, cavities at all height levels of the floor panel are optimally filled with an insulation thickness of up to 38 mm, thus achieving the best possible insulation values.

The floor insulation is made of extruded polystyrene foam (XPS), which is precisely milled on a CNC machine to match the exact floor contour of the vehicle. In addition to its high thermal insulation properties, the material stands out due to its high compressive strength of 300 kPa (approx. 30t/m²) and dimensional stability. Furthermore, the material is moisture-resistant and can be used at temperatures down to -50 °C. The XPS boards are also free of HBCD flame retardants, as well as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), HCFCs, and HFC-containing blowing agents.

In addition to the extremely low weight of the XPS floor insulation itself, the full-surface installation of the Bo-dapter offers further weight advantages. Due to the full-surface contact of the floor panel and the high compressive strength of the insulation, the overlying floor panel can be chosen to be almost arbitrarily thin, allowing for a weight reduction in the mid two-digit kilogram range depending on the chosen floor panel. Alternative insulation solutions usually rely on a wooden substructure, between which the actual insulation is placed. Since this cannot fulfill a load-bearing function and must not be compressed to achieve the insulation effect, the actual floor panel spans the underlying insulation and forms cavities. The floor panel must be chosen correspondingly thick to reduce deflection of the floor under load. With full-surface insulation by CNC-milled XPS elements, this problem does not exist, and the floor can lie flat and optimally transfer the load to the floor panel and the vehicle structure.

The Bo-dapter is easy to install – in just 30 minutes to 1 hour, you can complete the floor insulation of your Sprinter or Crafter. The full-surface contact of the boards prevents the floor from wobbling.

How is the floor laid?

The boards are coated with adhesive and laid out on the vehicle floor. We recommend Soudal Fix All Flexi adhesive. To prevent relative movements of the boards, e.g., when the vehicle twists, we also recommend applying adhesive to the butt joints of the boards. The floor insulation is completed in under 60 minutes, and the vehicle conversion can continue. For the drying time of the adhesive, we recommend weighing down the boards or the floor panel with weights. The adhesive application is shown in the image below
