Being centered, grounded, and in tune with the Earth is a big part of life for Chanelle and Kjersti. Being able to run their business on the road and in nature was a big reason for building out the Sprinter Van.

Sprinter Van doors before Second Skin. They're bare and hollow, compounding the echoes of the flimsy metal.

The most important part of the door, the outer door skins. Cover them with Damplifier Pro to make them stronger and reduce flex.

On the inner skin, you can scale back to about 40% coverage and still stop most of the structure born noise. The inner skin is stronger bent and welded metal. For both skins on 2 doors, it took about 16 sq ft of Damplifier Pro.

After killing the vibration, time for sound absorption. Mega Zorbe is a super lightweight, sound absorbing foam that has been treated to be water resistant. Check for window clearance before sticking the foam in permanently. These 2 doors have about 8 sq ft of Mega Zorbe on the outer skin.

When treating vans and other vehicles with the engine closer to the driver (and sometimes below the driver), it is smart to use 100% coverage to stop the structure borne noise and to absorb the heat transfer from the engine bay and drive train.

The cabin ceiling gets a solid layer of Damplifier Pro.

The winning rendering for the wrap. All of the options were great (next slide!), but you gotta admit that this one POPS!

Chanelle is now part of the foam finger club! When applying Mega Zorbe, be careful... those sheets are sticky!!!

The Mega Zorbe goes on quick with that high temp self adhesive backing.

All that bare metal in the cargo area screaming for Damplifier Pro...

Kjersti starts laying down the Damplifier Pro on the floor of cargo area in the Sprinter Van. For the floor of the van, the ladies went with about 60% coverage to stop the structure borne noise.

So focused!!

Chanelle using her roller to get the Damplifier Pro bonded to the metal nice and strong.

Don't forget your gloves! The edges of Damplifier Pro can be sharp. Wear protection.

Kjersti and Chanelle execute the first ever sound deadening Yoga workout.

After the floor and walls are sound deadened, get the electrician in there to wire the power house.

Switches, gauges, and cool stuff for the power needed to live and work from the Sprinter Van

Now that they have power, the heater and a/c unit can be installed. Gotta stay warm when ripping down those mountains!!

Kicker subs to get the party sounding right.

Kicker door speakers to make those highs scream and mids roar.

Chanelle installs the solar panels on top to get this system charged during the day for free..."Salute the sun"

After a week of hard work, time to get out there and tour!

Sound Deadening the door of the Sprinter Van takes about 6 sqft of material for inner and outer skins.

When using the 40-60% method it is still important to hit up the high noise producing areas like the wheel well humps with 100% coverage.

Side Walls of the Sprinter Van with the 60% coverage. Focus on the large flexible metal when using this method.

MBVAN used the Heat Wave Pro thermal insulation jute material as the second layer for the entire ceiling area. Attaching the lightweight Heat Wave Pro directly to the headliner molds.

Mid section headliner lined with Heat Wave Pro.

Rear cargo section headliner lined with more Heat Wave Pro. The entire roof area from windshield to rear doors took (6) sheets of Heat Wave Pro.

From a concept on paper...

Out of the legendary mind of Will.I.Am...

To reality...and ain't she beautiful?

Damplifier Pro skinned across the floor, firewall, back wall, and trunk.

Chad and the crew at West Coast Customs used our Spectrum liquid sound deadening on the doors here.

Treating against road and tire noise by using our Spectrum liquid sound deadening on the wheel wells and undercarriage. Three 1mm layers will kill that road noise before it gets inside the cabin.

From rendering to reality, from the mind of Will.I.Am the Mercedes-AMG brand ambassador.

When upgrading with a 2" lift and more aggresive tires, you will need Spectrum in the wheel wells and throughout the inside for a quiter ride on the highways and interstates.

Spectrum liquid sound deadening sprayed in the doors.

Driver door sprayed with Spectrum.

The Metris has that Second Skin sexy look. Sprayed from head to toe with Spectrum liquid sound deadening.

Spectrum on the floor, walls, doors, and ceiling. A total of 8 gallons used throughout.

Three 1mm layers of Spectrum on all surfaces.

All back together and ready to hit the road for fun and adventures.

This Sprinter Van took (4) 5 Gallons of Spectrum to cover the floor, walls and ceiling with (3) 1 mm coats.

A nice complete viscoelastic membrane across the entire van metal is key to cutting down on vibration noise and stopping heat transfer through the flimsy metal walls.

Sam chose the lightweight and high R Value Heat Wave Pro to thermally insulate his roof and also absorbing airborne sound.

Sam's 2019 Sprinter Van took (5) 24 Sq Ft sheets of Heat Wave Pro and (3) cans of high temperature spray adhesive.
