New First Time RV owner

[birds]

Hey,
My name is Boris and I am in the process of buying a Class B van.  This will be my first RV and my first major automotive project, though most of the work will be on the camper part and not the van part.

I am sure to have many questions about what materials I should be using and where I should be sealing.

I am also wondering if there is any chance of asbestos being used to insulate the van.  It is from 76

Hi Boris,

Welcome to the forum. You'll find lots of help here.

I don't know about the asbestos.

Boris,

Anything is possible, I suppose, when it comes to what you'll find as far as insulation goes (especially if a previous owner put some additional in there), but I'd think you're more likely to encounter fiberglass than asbestos, even in a '76 model.

If you have doubts and can take pictures of what you find, we should be able to help you identify it.
