Went to local lumber super store noticed insulation about 3/8" thick consisting of plastic bubbles with HD foil both sides. Came in rolls 4' x 100' for $139. This stuff is called Refectix. Anyone use this or any comments on what to use.
Thanks, Wayne |

I use this product cut to the size of my RV windows inside, put tight to glass it reflects the sun in summer keeping us cool, and keeping the heat in during the winter. |

I would not even consider using this type of insulation. It has a very low "R" rating and is not cost efficient. It is a good window insulator as stated by Les R. as it needs an air flow/gap to work efficiently.
A good hardfoam insulator such as Cellotex is the best to use or spray foaming, if you can get someone who is experienced enough so as not to buckle the outer skin as the foam expands and cures. The roof is ok as it has the rigidity of a curve, but the walls can be a problem.

Thanks for responding. I.m picking up my Eagle 20 Aug. 7 and heading home to N.Calif.. I,ll have lots of questions as the project starts. As to the Cellotex, I guess you can buy it at any major building supply and in different thickness.
Thanks again, Wayne |
