    I was hanging a towel bar on the outside bathroom wall and found it interesting that when I drilled the hole the only thing behind the interior wall board was AIR. I went back to the brochure just to make sure I had not misread the specs and sure enough it says that there is supposed to be...

    I'm looking at purchasing a used Escape 17 or 19 for use in AZ. It gets to be 115 sometimes, and I was wondering how cool I could keep an Escape in those temps. Also what are people's experiences in their trailers for extended times in hot weather? ex: It was 100 degrees and the inside was...

    Has anyone added any more insulation to the belly of a fifth wheel? I did add a vent to the belly from the furnace but theres not much insulation to the floor of these things. I was thinking about adding some fiberglass insulation above the plastic panel to help some? What are everyones thoughts?

    Underside insulation repair/replace

    2010 Wildcat 5er, new to us.:thumbsup: Evidently the previous owner had a blow-out which shredded the insulation in the wheel well. :eek: I didn't think much about it until we traveled in the rain and noted that the remaining insulation got soaked from wheel splash. I'm sure it can't be good...

    Hi! I am brand new to FF. I bought a 2007 FF X-160. It looks good and dry and clean but the previous owner had a water damage in the front and he had it repaired 2 years ago.

    Down sizing from Class A DP to Forester 3011DSF. Only real issue so far (won't pick up the unit for another week) is noise while driving. Yes, I realize the DP was much quieter and why but: I've head others talk about adding insulation to reduce noise and possibly heat from the dog house...

    What is the R factor for the XLR trailers? We have a hyper lite hfs 29. It cannot be very much, we went camping last weekend and the interior walls sweat behind the dinette cushions, just about anywhere something was against the exterior wall.

    So a couple weeks ago I was inspecting my trailer and I noticed the belly pan was sagging in-between the screws holding it up. I looked inside with a flashlight and could make out the insulation and looked like it was just laying on the belly pan. Got busy with work and had to leave it. I came...

    Wildwood Insulation

    We are considering the purchase of a 2016 Wildwood T27RLSS travel trailer. I am pretty much at peace with "sticks and tin" vs. fiberglass, but I have noticed that the insulation rating is R7 all around, while many if not most other trailer brands have a higher insulation rating, especially in...
