    74 Broken Arrow - Spray Foam Insulation - Yay/Nay

    Since we have a blank canvas on this - we are thinking 2" of closed cell foam in the walls and 3" in the ceiling. Fully taped/caulked between each upright (or ceiling truss) and the skin to prevent foam from getting between the skin and the stud and causing any ripples. All of the original...

    Insulation under pass through

    So last weekend while setting up at a local campground. I flooded the camper. The toilet overflowed and the water ran to the front and out through the pass through storage. We have a rockwood mini lite 2509s with the murphy bed. So with all that said, while I was inspecting the camper from...

    07 GS5291 BT Cruiser Window Add

    Hello, I'm investigating adding a window to the bathroom of my coach and am researching the exterior framing before I start cutting holes in my wall. Can anyone assist here?

    Poor insulation

    Here in Idaho, fall and winter can get a little brisk. The insulation on these units is poor at best. Has anyone figured out a way to improve the insulation on these units so that my furnace is not running constantly just to keep the temps around 60 deg?

    Is this normal? Melting water heater insulation?

    Hi All! I'm a relatively new rv/camper owner (A213HWESP) and there is a ridiculous amount of things I'm still learning. As I was inspecting several things around my camper this week, I noticed that the suburban water heater insulation has started to melt on the side and a little on top (see...

    missing insulation in front cap?

    2016 36CKTS. Parked in Texas for the Winter and got stuck with Arctic blast. I bet you could hang meat in the front closet when the cold wind blows. What can I do to insulate and seal it up? The rest of the trailer has performed reasonably well in this mess. Dual pane windows proved their worth...

    Explorer Insulation

    I was forced to leave my Explorer 28 SS in an uninsulated, unheated closed storage area for the last week. The lowest temperature last night was 5* but it was below 10* all of Monday. I left a tray of bottled water in the insulated compartment after I parked it last Wednesday. Recovered it...

    “Thermostat-Foil Arctic Insulation” - Gimmick or an actual difference maker?

    WolfPup 14CC Black Label Upgrade Worth It? Cons of Fiberglass? I’m looking at the WolfPup 14cc and noticed they also have a 14ccBL (BlackLabel Edition) available as well. The price difference is about $1,700. Details here: https://www.forestriverinc.com/brochures/2019/2019wolfpupbrochure.pdf...

    Insulation behind the coroplast under layer

    I had a section of coroplast tear away (don't know when or how). First thing which struck me is the lack of insulation. Is this right? If so, I suspect there would be a benefit to insulating the underside of the floor. Thoughts? If yes, is there a recommended way to insulate? I would think...

    Hi! I'm another one of those folks who have been lurking here for months and finally getting ready to order an ATC camper. There are 5 of us (Mom and Dad, 3 little ones 6, 3, and 9 months currently). I plan to order a flatbed shell and do a custom interior build so we can all cram in there. I...

    Does campfire smoke get into escape trailer?

    Dear All, We are thinking about buying an Escape trailer, but, for health reasons, we are concerned about campfire smoke getting into the trailer. Does smoke get inside with the door/windows closed (can you smell smoke)? If yes, is there any way to fix it? Thank you very much!

    FR3 32DS Drivers Area Insulation/Temperature

    Hi, I have a 2019 FR3 32DS and have been miserable for the past 2 years driving the thing in any weather other than basically perfect outside temperature. I finally figured out the issue.

    Plastic Vinyl Liner

    I'm considering the purchase of an Escape 21. It appears to be a very high quality travel trailer and is just enough larger than my Casita to make camping much more comfortable. However, I'm a little concerned about the durability of the vinyl insulation liner. My previous experience with...
