insulation

We have a 2017 3051s motorhome and I've noticed I can hear the TV really clear outside when in front of the unit. We have the entertainment center instead of a bunk. I have to think there is zero insulation and a lot of wasted space up there. Has anyone tried to get into that area and maybe add...

I noticed that my front closet would be HOT in the summer, strong sunny days and COLD in the winter. So I took a look inside and discovered that my insulation has fallen down, 1st picture below. I am almost done fixing the problem. I will post my experience and results later. But my first step...

Has anyone had success using window insulation shrink wrap in colder temps? Does it help keep out the cold? Does it help cut down the condensation? We are leaving this weekend for a hunting trip and it's my first time using our new Alpha Wolf in colder temps. I am hoping to keep it a little...

Hi everyone, My husband and I just purchased a New Momentum 349M and we did a partial walk through on saturday because the Generator would start due to them not putting enough fuel in. We are collecting our new rig on Sunday 4th November, where they will show us the rest of the walk through...

While creating an entrance hole to run a phone/DSL cable through I was somewhat surprised to find no insulation under the floor in our Wildwood XL. Is that normal, or have I discovered another QC foul-up with this unit?

I just did some testing on the coach - since it won't get below 78 inside when it's 90 outside. I used a laser pointing thermal temperature gauge to point toward various places around the coach. Since it was only a 76 degree day outside, I did not expect to see much of a problem. What I...

The underbelly fabric and insulation at the front of my Forest River 19rr is wet and sagging. Appears water entered through the joint at the front of trailer during a drive in a monsoon type rain storm. Has anyone removed this fabric and insulation and replaced with rigid foam?

Quick question: Does the rockwood ultralite have insulation between the underbelly and the floor? We had some repairs done and they say it doesn't that it's built into the floor and walls. We have the diamond package if that matters. Thank you so much!

Did some shopping yesterday at a dealer. One of the lines I looked at was the Alpha Wolf (they didn't have the model I'm interested in, but I did a general look-see). Dealer also showed a Cruiser 'MPG' series - nice, but didn't 'wow' me. One of the selling points for the Alpha Wolf line is...

Good Morning everyone! I am new to this forum and am seriously considering the purchase of a new Berkshire 45A XLT. Like many potential purchasers, I would like to know the good, bad and any other helpful information. I do not own a motorhome presently, but it has been a dream of mine for a long...

Just bought and am suspicious about the use in colder weather. Appears all furnace ducting is in living areas in bottom of cabinets. Also only bottom seal is between frames from front to front of toy hauler area. So, from frame to outside skirting is not enclosed. No heat in belly area...

I am taking out my RV fridge and going with a small residential electric. I have capped off the propane. As you all know, the compartment at the rear of the fridge is vented to the outside. If I am on electric only, do I need the vent, or can I cover it with styro insulation?

Has anyone tried to insulate the hoses that lead to the ducts on the cab air? On the DW side she is sitting with a blanket and I am toasty. By the time the air gets to me it has warmed considerably. Looks like it may be a chore to insulate them but it could be worth the effort..We do well until...

While searching for an entry point into our 2012 Thor ACE 29.2 for the weBoost Cell Phone Amplifier (see other recent post), I investigated the possibility of bringing the outside antenna wire down through the AC rooftop duct. Our MH has a Coleman-Mach 3, 13,500 BTU rooftop unit. The air...

Hello I am wondering if anyone has camped in there work and play when it is cold out? From what I have found online it seems like the work and play models have very minimal insulation in them?? Seems kinda odd as they are built better ? I would love to buy one but don’t need my furnace running...

I have a 2018 silver back 37rl. Is it possible to increase the insulation in the underbelly? It is currently 30 or under and the floor gets very cold which I think contributes to the rv cooling fast. Any other insulation tips would be appreciated. My neighbor has wood trim covering the metal...

While remodeling the master bedroom due to water trapped in the subfloor I decided to take a look inside the attic to check for leaks. Good news is no leaks. Bad news is all the insulation is piled up on the right side!!! Why and where is the rest of it?

Last year we had a spot in full sun and the outside temps were in the mid 90’s. I had the pop up gizmos on the bunkends and slide out but the best I could do inside was ‘80 degrees with the ac going full blast which was disappointing. I’m thinking about buying reflectix for the windows next...

There are 2 new 2018 Sabre 36BHQ fifth wheels at the dealer I bought my last trailer from, they're reasonable at $39,995. Reasonable compared to the other mid bunks I've looked into anyway. Floorplan pretty much suits us.The price really suits me. Wfe, 100 pound lab, and I will eventually be...

Does anyone know if my new 5th Wheel has an artic package or does it have adequate insulation for winters like temps that are around 20 to 25 degrees. Tennessee weather. Forest River does not state publically if they have this type of insulation packages on the Rockwood 8299BS 5th Wheel...

Short story made long, we camp in central Wisconsin, and it can get cold! I ordered a new 2016 Wildwood 4092-BFL two years ago, we paid for a LOT of upgrades to the TT, including dual pane windows, Gel-coat exterior, R38 extreme weather package and double insulation in roof and floor (extra...

Does anybody have an opinion on the regular glass wool insulation compared to the block foam insulation. 1) is one better 2) Can the wool drop & sag

I'm presently camping where the temps are dipping a few degrees below zero at night. I have an electric infrared heater and get the box to 22°c and within 1 hour it has dropped to 16°c. No roof vents are open and only the small window by the bed is open 2cm for some "flow". There is no wind...

I have single pane windows in my 5ver I am going to put reflextic on the windows for the winter. My question is should I put it next to the glass or around the frame back from the glass so there is some air space between the glass and the reflextic also what is the best tape to use that will...

Do these better insulated trailers (per specs) really perform better in heat and cold. As I look at moving up to a 5th wheel i see many with clams that they are superior in this regard. There are "High Density Block Foam Insulation", "Radiant FoiInsulation" and other items used.
