Using Snuffleupagus to Insulate a Campervan While I DEFY GRAVITY | Hiace Conversion

Ever battled gravity during a van build? This Sunday morning showdown proves that determination (and 14 screws) conquers physics! Join my Hiace campervan conversion journey as I tackle ceiling insulation with a Sesame Street twist.

Poor Snuffleupagus resembles these insulation batts - sorry Snuffy, you're part of my van walls now! 🐘

Watch me transform this Toyota Hiace, creating dedicated spaces for:
✅ LED downlights
✅ Ventilation fan
✅ Electrical wiring pathways

This video showcases real DIY van building challenges - from gravity battles to critical details others miss. Vehicle insulation requires extra care compared to house installations to prevent unwanted migration.

Sunday's motto was "why rush?" Yet I installed support beams (with 14 screws!), built electrical component boxing, and planned for the upcoming ceiling ply with felt finish.

TEASER: Discover why I'm adding underbody rock lights - there's an Australian reptile encounter that explains my caution when stepping outside! 🐍

PROJECT STATUS:
Ceiling structure: Complete
Insulation: Installed
Electrical pathways: Prepared
Next: 3mm ply ceiling with light gray felt
