Our conversion is moving along and we are working on our bays. We live in a cold climate and are planning on doing some winter and spring camping. So, we are going to insulate our middle and rear bays. We are not sure how we want to insulate them and are open to different ideas.
We will locate our Webasto heater in the rear bay and put a fan controlled heater in the middle bay. Should we be concerned about condensation leading to rust?
Any ideas, or wisdom, would be greatly appreciated!!! A big thank you ahead of time to any responses.

On my MC-8 I used 1" blue styrofoam on the bottom and front and back bay walls. The doors are a problem on the MCI in that the hinge is halfway down the door and will pinch any insulation glued to the door. I used 2" blue styrofoam glued to 1/4" luan plywood for a removable panel that was held in place against my tanks, etc by foam rubber blocks glued to the door. Careful fitting is important and using foam rubber around the sides to prevent air infiltration helps a lot. I had Aqua-Hot heating and never needed the water bay blower. I used it for a ski vacation over Christmas where the temp overnight was -17F and during the day barely cleared 0F. Had to bring the car battery inside to get the car started. But no frozen bus stuff except the Norcold fridge. Couldn't take the low temps. Moved the fridge stuff to the front bay and kept the beer on the first step by the door.
