insulation

Hi. We are new to camping. Have a Salem fsx 169, platinum, 19'. If we want to camp in the winter, in Texas, Missouri, Oklahoma, etc. do we need to make adjustments for our water usage? Winterize? How do we do this? If we still want to camp during the winter months and the temps could be well...

Hello: So, we finally decided to get an RV and purchased a 31 Foot 2025 Forest River Salem Lite, took it out twice and then it was destroyed broadside by a car load of teens around 2:00 AM as we were backing into our driveway. Luckily I had insurance nd GAP coverge because the young man had very...

I'm writing one last time, at the request of those with common sense who live in hotter states like Florida, Texas, Arizona, and want the details of how I got > 20 degrees in cooling on our 2019 Coachmen back in 2021. It was like new, with only 4000 miles on it, but it could not keep up with 95...

Okay folks I got a head scratcher here, but I think I know the issue but was curious if anyone else has dealt or is dealing with this. For context we are in northern Florida currently and the temps and humidity are awful. I’ve noticed water on the floor of my Rig, just below several air vents...

I had to remove a small piece of paneling in the front of my travel trailer due to a water leak. After removing the paneling I found the water leak probably existed since the unit was new because of a lack of proper sealant on the outside, but I was out of warranty so that's a story for another...

My AC will not shut down due to temperature, thermostat has been changed still doing same thing, it runs, it’s cold but thermostat does not control it. Any suggestions?

Years ago, I had a rental account, and the president was an avid RV'er, they took rigs out all the time. B vans, C's, Truck campers. That is where I started taking units out to explore Western Canada. The feedback you get and give is priceless. He had said back then, we are not an RV rental...

I have a 28' Forest River Cherokee 234DC 30 amp travel trailer that’s about three years old. Last year we took a long trip and when we were in Texas the unit during the day on our roof would barely get the inside temperature below 85°. Getting ready to take a big trip again this year down to...

Help! Purchased an Alta 2350KRK new, last November. Finally got it out for an extended trip... coast to coast... it did well, excellent over-the-road trailer. However, it''s impossible to keep it warm.. or cool... found that that both entry doors are not insulated!! When the sun is low and on...

We purchased our Sportmobile van used from a family friend and it came with 3 velvet(ish) window coverings. We know that one of them goes across the drivers window/windshield/passenger window and snaps in place. It also came with another longer one and a shorter one, but we cannot seem to...

Here are two hack tips and a question for folks on insulating the propane locker. To stabilize the tank from a bit of fore-aft rocking, I shaped a few scrap pieces of 1-1/2" pink foam into a rounded wedge, and added a few shimmed pieces of closed cell foam that I had on a 6" roll. The tank...

I just bought a 2021 Geo Pro 16BH and the foam insulation on the water heater looks strange like maybe it melted at some point. Any insight you can offer? https://1drv.ms/i/s!AvStLR7eqJbD8d0F7q8Rj0MhHHTp4A?e=xhjdgH

We have a Riverstone Legacy 38TS 5TH wheel and are having to replace undercarriage insulation due to a leak. Has anyone ever used unfaced, reflective roll insulation rather than standard fiberglass insulation? It has a R21 insulation factor, inhibits moisture/ condensation, resists the growth...

Spent the day underneath my 2018 Imagine 2400BH adding a custom bumper (with 2in receiver) to find some less than satisfactory workmanship. I have no idea how I have not had more issues after seeing how the water lines are not insulated at all. I cut the PEX and moved to the hole in the cross...

Hello all. I had a blow out and it shedded the insulation behind the tire on my underbody. I am writing to ask if I need to buy the same insulation that I have for the rest of the underbelly or can I just use spray foam insulation for the repair? Taking it to an Rv Repair shop for them to do...

Anyone have this issue and maybe a solution? Having trouble adding pic, but can’t seem to! It is the ceiling of engine compartment or underside of dash where defrost vents are. The entire area is falling apart and does not look like an easy fix.

Hi folks, I recently purchased an ‘88 Econoline Falcon that was converted by Intervec, and am wanting to add some insulation to the upper sleeper area around the windows. Has anyone done this before, and how did you do it? The model I have doesn’t have frames around the upper front windows, and...

Greetings, We pulled off the ceiling insulation and are wondering if this can be reused. A couple of questions we have are 1. What is this type of insulation called 2. Can we reuse this insulation 3. How to clean this insulation 4. How to determine the R value of said insulation Any advice...

Hi! I have a 1988 Chevy B6000 I've lived in for 2 years and we're finally insulating it. The South Dakota winters have been really hard. Our original bus floor is 3/4" thick and we need the replacement to be the same or thinner, as my wife is already taller than the bus ceiling (just barely) and...

Hey there community, Been a long time lurker as this is my first post. Just purchased a 5 window handicap International 4700 Shortbus! Me and my soon to be wife have been planning this for a while, although I have yet to tell her about it yet. Looking to buy some supplies to make the dream...

Greetings all! I am looking at upgrading from my Geo Pro to a Mini Lite. One of the main reasons is the ability to camp during the winter here in Colorado. Does anyone have experience (good or bad) with the Mini Lite in winter? Both the Geo and the Mini have tank heaters, but the Mini has an...

I noticed the other night in the RV there was condensation on the windows of the RV. I didn't think that would happen unless we were living in it with the heat on but I guess it does (am remodeling though) with being real cold/snowy and rainy. The issue seems to be the windows are thin and only...

That is the question... My 2013 five window Chevy 3500 Shuttle Bus is in pretty nice condition inside out. I'm not planning to live in this in the winter time (unless I'm in the west coast PNW), so it's more of a 3 season bus but would be nice to handle some colder temps if I wanted. I'm...

Hello, I'm looking for XPS foamular 250 insulation and A quick Google search brings me things from Lowe's and Home Depot and whatnot but my issue is the price. So I'm asking if there are better places to shop for some of the materials/items we may need in conversions? $45/ 8ft sheet is what I'm...

Hello everyone! My name is Ryan, I moved to Durango and bought a bus. I've been building out this bus for a lil over a month now, & it is getting a tad cold. Does anyone have tips for insulation?? I only have a couple inches to spare for headroom inside, some solar panels on the outside. The...
