The adhesive we used and absolutely recommend for your subfloor is actually at a pretty good price on Amazon (assuming it's still around $6.99 when you click this) [ Ссылка ] Buying from that link helps support us making videos. If it's more expensive than $6.99, you'll probably be able to find it for that price at your local lumber yard. Also have loved working with this cheap, excellent jigsaw: [ Ссылка ] it's been one of the most important tools for our bus conversion.

In this episode we install a floating subfloor. We’re basically making an insulation and plywood sandwich with glue instead of any framework or screws. This allows us to prevent thermal breaks. If you’re willing to sacrifice more headspace in your bus conversion you should consider buying a much thicker foam than the 1/2 inch that we used. This 1/2 inch only gives us about R3, and if you're going to be in super cold or hot climates, you'll be much happier with say R15, although that would require 3 inches of foam.

For plywood we bought 5/8th of an inch CDX. We would have liked to have found a tongue and groove product in that size but couldn’t find it and didn’t want to lose any more headspace by going to 3/4.

It’s very important that you offset your foam and plywood seams so that the pressure at the edges isn’t all in one place.

Lastly, we used large tubes of PL Premium adhesive which is supposed to be acceptable for foam and we used a bit less than one large tube per surface, so if you have a 4 foot bus you’ll need a bit less than 20 tubes.

At the end of the video we visit Bulls Island which is near Awendaw, SC with our friends Sam and Katy. If you want to visit Bulls Island, you'll need to take a ferry which you can find here: [ Ссылка ]
