wells cargo

[ZIG]

I have a 2004 wells cargo snowmobile trailer with the white paneling inside. thinking of insulating the trailer what kind of insulation should i use.thanks

Inch and a half extruded styrofoam it has an r value of 7.5. Buy it in 4 foot sheets if you can, most of the time they come in 2 foot but if your trailer studs are on 16 inch centers you will have much waste if you get 2 foot sheets, if you use expaned styrofoam it has an r value of 3.5. and you can use batt insulation but it will settle down in time due to vibrations driving down the road, leaving a cold spot.

Thanks for the info johndeereman.

No problem let me know how it goes, most manufacturers use expanded styrofoam and they use what ever little piece is leftover to fill the gaps and you tell me how well it insulates.
