I was looking at fexlboi's page on the Dino Evo regarding insulating the L300:

Being a kayaker, I have lots of experience with Neoprene, and I was able to find it for cheap from Alibaba (if I can just figure out the shipping nightmare from China...)
I was wondering if anyone had done this with the L400?
Should combine well with something like an Espar D5....

Re: Neoprene insulation.
I've been thinking of doing the same thing for the longest time now. My 300 definitely is not well insulated.

Re: Neoprene insulation.
I used those colourful floor tiles that puzzle together...
closed cell foam and I got them for under $1.00 each of craigslist..
No idea the R-value but when you put a heater up to the one side you cannot feel the heat on the other side...

Re: Neoprene insulation.
I am thinking about building a bulkhead that closes off the cab in the winter time, so there is less space for me to heat, if i make it out of that hard pink foam insulation board i can carve it to the shape i want. unfortunately i should have done this in the summer as its now -40 and too cold for me to care about doing anything to the van haha
