Do you install house wrap before or after insulation?
Usually the wrap iss installed first. Rigid foam insulation is often installed outside the building wrap, and batt insulation is always installed inside the building wrap. This is because batt insulation is much more moisture absorbent than most rigid foam so needs to be protected from external moisture. So batt insulation will not be installed until after the building wrap is in place to protect it, and externally installed rigid foams are not fixed in place until after the wrap is in place because they are fixed over it.

How good is foil faced bubble wrap insulation for insulating your van?
minimal R-value with foil faced bubble wrap, but does cut down on radiant heat alot....BUT you must install it with some dead air space on one side of it. Like put wood slat strips on the ribs with glue/screws then place thin paneling or FRP skin over it with the bub-wrap spray glued onto the metal first. IMHO
