When I was reading through some of the "completed conversion" thread, I read about owner/drivers completely losing screws in their panelling and having to retighten and refix, which in my mind is due to the structural integrity of the vehicle being compromised. Yes, I think insulation is super important in terms of temperature control, resource conservation, etc., but if installing stellar insulation means one has to compromise the structural integrity of something that is meant to move, I don't know that it's worth it.
I read that post just awhile ago- I believe they were talking about the lower bar of metal the seats bolt onto .... Very interesting read. The middle sheets of metal will be fine to take off and put back on..

The structural integrity of mine is fine and it goes offroading.
If its compromised any, its like .0000000000001%...
I'm fine with the tradeoff. How anyone can deal with the tin can interior is beyond me, but I have friends who do.
Gotta crack a few eggs sometimes...
