insulation

I figured this is a common problem I did do a search for it but I couldn’t find a post. When I turn on the AC unit in the front part of the cabin I get White Snoe which is insulation coming out of the vents. I’m assuming that it’s coming through where the insulation in the roof has been pierced...

Hi. We need to repair the insulation underneath the engine dog house cover in our 2001 Windsport. Flipped it over to inspect it as part of our major Reno we are doing and some of it is falling down. Anyone know of the type of high heat adhesive that is typically used? It would need to tolerate...

On our DX3 37TS, the forward thermostat seems to be influenced by the temperature of the wall it is mounted on. I have considered putting insulation in the hollow space behind the thermostat to reduce the heat transfer. Has anyone else done this? If so, was it successful? What kind of...

The other thread had me thinking: is it possible to ADD insulation to the underbelly to fashion your own self-styled "Arctic Package"? I have a 202RBLE and am really curious if this is possible. I don't want to camp in -20F weather, but I do anticipate some possible dips below the freezing...

I've got a 14" roof raise, and I'm struggling with condensation collecting on the transitions and running down and dripping on the floor. I've insulated with XPS foam board (as with the rest of the bus) and I'm getting water dripping around it. I tried sealing the edges of the foam board with...

I purchased a 2018 Surveyor 266 RLDS. By the back door, it says this trailer has been winterized. Does this mean the underbelly has been insulated also?

Hi guys, I'm using 1x2 furring strips for my subfloor and didn't think ahead to check the available thicknesses at Home Depot. I ended up having to go with 1" polyiso. This is leaving about a 1/4” gap between the top of the furring strip and the top of the insulation boards (insulation being...

I don't think I did this right the first time, so if it is somewhat duplicative, please accept my apology in advance. I am completely new to the skoolie community (just recently learning I needed to substitute a k for ch). I considered a Monaco pusher with tag a few years ago, but I was not...

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...

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...

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? Assuming whatever exterior framing structure there is would be aluminum and need to know the stud spacing. I've looked at...

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?

Hi all, My wife and I just bought a 40ft 2015 Bluebird that was built for service at Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. It was designed to operate in-60f to -70f. It has less that 14,000 miles on it, but over 10,000 idle hours. Unfortunately its adef system, but I fugure we’re all gonna have to learn to...

I’ve found only one video with people who skipped furring strips all together. Has anyone else done this?? Some background: I will be using spray foam insulation Will use Wood for ceiling Wood burning stove for heat Living in Minnesota where it gets crazy cold and crazy hot I’m tall and...

We are seeing a million ways to skin the cat on subfloor and flooring insulation. From - Metal floor + rigid foam + t and g Metal floor + 2x support boards with foam between + t and g To a million other options. So what did you do and why? We are getting close to this part of the build and...

Just took the plunge and bought our bus! Whoop whoop! Happy birthday to me! Anyone have experience living in a cold a** place in a Skoolie? Specifically wondering about the windows. I can’t imagine the ones we have will be insulated enough to survive the winter. There would also likely be...

I’m looking to purchase a 5th wheel, as I will be living in one and would like advice on best brands for quality construction and insulation. I was told, by a sales person the dual pane windows aren’t worth the money.... thoughts?

Hi Skoolie World. I pulled the trigger on a 2005 Checy C5500 Shuttle bus and I've been working through the demo process for a month now (I have only been working on it during weekends, and by myself). I've come to the first obstacle I can't seem to research my way out of. After all the builds...

What up yall, hope everyones enjoying thier Dream. Im new and about to get started on a conversion. Insulation and condensation are so far my 2 biggest concerns. I plan to strip the inside completely. I am debating between using Wool Batting or polyiso board with cedar plank as siding/ceiling...

So, here's my problem. I really don't want to use those toxic and unsustainable options such as spray foam, foam boards, etc. I was looking into sheep's wool (specifically Havelock Wool), and I really like it. BUT. I live in Canada, where the winters get stupidly cold. It seems like in order...

I am a new owner of 2020 Rockwood GeoPro and apparently had a leak early and it may have been under the kitchen faucet which I noticed and replaced. While looking at the water pump there is an opening into the underbelly and insulation below and I just happen to put my hand in and the insulation...

Hi, I have seen a few comments about owners insulating the engine compartment inside the vehicle, and thought it was a good idea, so attempted to do so. Upon removing the cover, I found 1/2" of thermal insulation on the underside already - I have a 2021 Thor Axis 25.6; perhaps they weren't...

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...

After calling multiple residential installers and a van conversion company (they either didn't do it or weren't interested), I want to know where you got your skoolie insulation professionally sprayed in Northern California? I would prefer to have it done as close as possible to San Jose, CA but...

We are in the works of purchasing a skoolie and starting to plan things out! We have decided to use closed cell spray foam for insulation. I noticed in build videos people who go this route use the rigid foam for the floor. Is there a reason or advantage to using the rigid foam on the floor...
