insulation

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...

I have a friend at our campground who has the "p-trap coming loose and soaking every thing in the underbelly" issue. She asked me to see where a potential source for leaks were, when I discovered the p-trap issue. There was standing water underneath where the p-trap was, all the insulation in...

On the bottom inside of my Rear Endcap there is/was some 1/2" thick foam type material that is somewhat still applied on 1/3 of it and the other side has fallen off. It is stuck on to the endcap and then forms a 180 and attached to the rear wall - in total it forms 2 Long upside down "U"s. 1 on...

Cross country trip. Wind noise noticeable while driving against the wind buffering the RV. Camping in Michigan, I ordered a thin roll of insulation. The coach door hinges did not have insulation. Applied only short pieces of insulation at coach door hinges.The coach door hinges indent the foam...

Hello, I am currently in the process of converting a 40’ 14 window Thomas Saf-t-liner. I am trying to determine the best vapor barrier for my ceiling. I am deciding between Rockwool, EPS, or spray foam. I know with spray foam you don't need a vapor barrier. I feel that if I go with ESP or...

We ordered our 2023 32RLTS with a 12 volt compressor refrigerator. It is essentially the same as a residential refrigerator but runs on 12 volts. ALL electric refrigerators are designed to exchange heat with the inside air. Like most residential frigs these days, it has a fan that pulls...

I thought I'd covered about every crack and crevice in my 5 year old unit but was shining my flashlight under the plywood platform my mattress sits on at the back of my unit and there was a greenish paper with a slight silvery backing stuffed pretty consistently along a piece of support wood and...

Hello! I'm new to the site and currently doing demo on my skoolie. I have a question about wall/ceiling removal and insulation. Instead of removing walls and ceiling and re-doing insulation, could I just put board insulation on top of the existing walls and ceiling and then plywood over top for...

2013 329DS Georgetown I'm looking to replace the black foam insulation above the front grill that is attached to the bottom of the plywood that makes up the dashboard behind the windshield. The foam is disintegrating and starting to hang and fall off. It looks a lot like the foam that is used...

2016 HS-2902 Has anyone put insulation into the front cap? Replaced the speakers recently and found there was none in there. Wondering what the best method would be, only options are to stuff it through the speaker holes or to start removing interior panels. Obviously panel removal would be...
