How I Installed my Roof Vent, Skylight & Ceiling in my Cargo Van Tiny Home
In this video, I show an in depth explanation of how I installed my roof vent, skylight, lighting, insulation, and ceiling panels for my cargo van to tiny home conversion. I go through the process in three easy steps. The first step is to cut holes in the roof and install the roof vent and skylight. I like to do this first because it makes it easier to build around these features later on in the process. This step also includes running wires for the lights, fan, and solar panel.
The second step is to frame and insulate the ceiling. I chose to use polyiso foam board insulation for this step. I like using it because it is lightweight, easy to cut, and fairly inexpensive.
The third and final step is to install the ceiling panels. I chose to use pre stained and sealed wall panels for this, but you can really use anything for this step. I used my brad nailer to hold the ceiling up in place to the framing that I put in earlier and will be finishing the ceiling with structural trim pieces later on in my build.

  • If you want to maintain that vapor barrier, this is a must… With your foil tape, you want to press it down… Use a roller or rounded over and smoothed scrap of wood.

  • Nice install, a few things I've done when cutting a hole in the roof, tape a trash bad or a box to the roof on the inside and it's catch all the small pieces of metal that can get inside you van and cause rust. Give Dicor 501LSW-1 Self-Leveling Lap Sealant on top of the fan, it works great.

  • I dont think the vapor barrier debate will ever be settled. Some say it only traps moisture, some say it's necessary to prevent moisture from getting in. Also, sick moving timelapses. What do you use to accomplish those?

    • self adhesive bitumen stuck to the metal panel will stop moisture being near the metal work. then a moisturiser barrier will db up on that. that’s and treating any cuts you make in the metal with red oxide primer and a top coat will give any van build e longevity. I love these builds.
