That I have no idea because I wasn't there when it was done. However the converter seems to have a good reputation and a long history in the business, from the 1970s I believe.
On top of that his business is a coachbuilder specialising in industrial conversions, ambulance conversions (as in new vans to hew ambulances) and other conversion businesses. He's doing well because he keeps getting million pound, repeat business converting specialist vehicles for nationwide fleet businesses. I think if I've asked for and paid for insulation and lining out I have to trust that they did that.
Besides the inner face over the metal does not feel cold at all. I think it's got heat and sound insulation. Road noise isn't bad with it, better than as the panel van tbh. It's cold I think because of the pop top part. It's a lot colder up there. When I'm sleeping downstairs it's noticeably a bit warmer.
However vans without heating turned on will get cold. Our heater has timer controls but not sure about that. No guarantee we'll need it when set for or earlier. Better to manually turn it on then back into a nice, warm sleeping bag until it's got the van warm again.
We're learning about van life so we don't know what suits us. The new sleeping arrangement is only a reaction to our second camping night in it leaving us feeling a bit too cold. It woke us up a bit early. With the whole idea of a van being to extend the season we realised warmer sleeping arrangements are needed.
