Conversion - Insulation

Ideas from people's experience on the net:

• Bubble wrap

• FOIL/ LOFT-ROOF INSULATION / WALL INSULATION / DAMP PROOF 

• Space Blanket Loft Roll Insulation 

   
  "Things to think about are weight, will it catch fire easily, how easy would it be to remove if working on body panels at a later date, will it hold moisture and also will it absorb smell, ie cooking etc if using in a camper conversion."
