Ever wonder how well insulation actually works in a camper van? We get that question a lot—and thanks to one handy tool, we can show you just how effective TOURIG’s insulation solutions really are.
Let us introduce you to the FLIR E8. This compact device is a thermal imaging tool equipped with an infrared camera that picks up a wide range of temperatures, from -4°F up to 1022°F. (And if your van ever hits that upper limit… yeah, we hope you're watching from a safer place.)
At TOURIG, we use this tool to demonstrate the real difference high-quality insulation can make—specifically, our ceramic insulation and magnetic window covers. You’ll not only feel the comfort, but you can literally see the results.
The Power of Thermal Imaging
Our electrician, Dave, uses the FLIR E8 to monitor electrical systems during van builds. It helps us spot hot spots or problem areas quickly, without having to manually check every fuse or wire. It's a more efficient way to troubleshoot—and, let’s be honest, seeing the world through thermal vision is pretty cool.
But this tool doesn’t just help with wiring—it also lets us measure how insulation affects your van’s temperature.
Insulated vs. Bare Metal: A Clear Difference
In our first test, we took two images: one of a bare van with exposed sheet metal, and one with our ceramic insulation applied. The difference? Huge. Uninsulated metal dramatically impacts interior temperatures, especially in extreme heat or cold. It’s a solid reminder of why insulation is a key part of every interior package we offer.
Don’t Forget the Windows
Even after your van is insulated, windows can still be a major source of heat loss or gain. That’s where our insulated magnetic window covers come in. Made with closed-cell foam, these covers are easy to install and do a great job keeping temps regulated—whether you’re parked in the snow or soaking up desert sun.
We showed this with another FLIR comparison: one window with no cover, and one sealed up with our TOURIG insulated cover. The temp difference was real—and noticeable.
Final Thoughts
So if you're still on the fence about insulating your van—or you’ve already had it built out but skipped insulation—don’t worry. We’ve got you covered. Literally.
