A little tip on paneling: The vertical posts are not wide enough to put screws side by side on either side of a vertical panel joint if you use standard panel joint strips. Add small sheet metal plates screwed to the posts first to catch the screws if you intend to put the paneling vertically. Some place it sideways. Also at the bottom, I added cleats using small deck builders angles for the bottom edge to screw into. Here's a pic of my paneled interior with vertical plastic panel joints. I too insulated with two layers of foil bubble wrap, very quiet and stays warm/cool. I did stuff the lower doors with fiberglass and did the uppers with bubble foil since I have no windows. Many say fiberglass holds moisture but my van is garage kept year round and I'm not worried about it, it made it 50 years and the door bottoms were all repaired already by a PO. Have fun!

Note, that's plastic wainscot from Lowes on the ceiling....you can see my double screws on the side where the plates are installed.
