So 80sq ft to do all 4 doors and only front floor?

So then it would be about 140 sq ft to finish the floors, backwall, and ceiling with about 25% coverage.

Ok, I figured SDS was right but just seemed like a lot more than I was thinking.

It's an expensive, time consuming, and laborious job but totally worth it in the end. When I tell my clients how much work is involved they don't get it until I say leave the vehicle with me for a couple of days. Then they get the idea it is not a 2 hour job.

Ya at least a day to tear everything out of the interior, a day to install CLD, MLV, CCF, and Melamine. Finally a day to put everything back together again....

But ABSOLUTELY worth it in the end....especially in Arizona and a black truck just for the help in cooling the cabin.

I did 100% coverage everywhere including doors, a b c pillars, and floors. I know 100% isn't needed but it's what I wanted to do. My quantities will be off from what you are looking for.

Well in theory then, I should be able to get a rough (probably slightly over) estimate based on 25% of what you used.

Are there places where you shouldn't use circuit breakers, but only fuses?

Not sure......I only used one at the battery for main power to back of cab. I would assume if you can get one in the correct size you can. Probably not as cost effective as fuses...never really looked into it
