Oh yeah it is a huge problem. I brought a brand new Transit 150 mid roof in 2015. Had this happen to me also. good thing it was still under warranty. I got it fixed no cost to me.

Well I finally started my build on the 8' x 18' trailer. This trailer is a redo build I totally gutted it and need to have it finished for the fall / winter season this is my home. 1st layer of insulation is complete 1". I will be starting the 2nd layer this week. Insulated floor, ceiling, &...

Oh definitely, I would never buy any pre-made rv they are all junk. Even the elite high priced luxury ones are garbage. I have owned many and have fixed and worked on many different brands from the cheapest models to the most expensive for friends/ family/ customers. I will only build out...

Everything is overpriced right now due to the war on fossil fuels. I would wait until the next election cycle to see what happens. The RV market for Travel Trailers/ Fifth Wheels is starting to get better. I have noticed a significant price drop as RV dealer lots are overstocked. Most of the...

I was going to use 1/4 cedar planks or birch plywood. This build is going to be expensive. I have been planning this for a long time. So, I am not too worried about cost within reason. My wife is disabled, so I need to make it wheelchair friendly. This is also our early retirement home.

Lol, I just watched that. Thanks for sharing. I tried calling a few spay foam installers once they heard Cargo Trailer they all said no. I wanted to get a few estimates. Looks like at this point I'm going XPS.

Thanks for the info. I will check out HDR old post. I think I'm getting Analysis Paralysis.

Glen Canyon is awesome. Yes, we do not have free utilities but electricity is a reduced rate and cheaper than propane. I also want to get ready for boondocking so I'm trying to insulate as best as possible and a large solar setup as possible.

I have been here 7 years now. I love it but want to go part time and spend my winters boondocking in Quartzsite for the winter. I am going with a 24v 2000 watt solar system and 400 amp hour bank.

Thanks for the info. I think I'm going to use XPS after further research and all your suggestions.

2022 Ram 2500 6.4l

Thanks for the info. It is a 24' Cargo Trailer 24' L X 8.5 W X 8' Interior Height.

Thanks for the info. I think I will go with XPS. Polyiso is higher R value but not in colder climates.

Thanks for the info. I plan on putting in dual pane windows and will have 2 maxxair fans 1 in front and 1 in back of the cargo trailer. The MiniSplit is a dry heat and will run a Dickinson wood stove in the winter along with the MiniSplit. The Mini says it is rated to -20° so time will tell...

It's a Cargo Trailer 24' long x 8.5' Wide and 8' interior height. I do not mind loosing 8" on the sides or 8" of height. I live in the Grand Canyon National Park. Hot in the summer 90's and cold in winter 0° and below overnight. All tanks and plumbing inside. No black tank going compost. I...

Thanks for the info, I will check that out. I was planning on 2" between the metal studs then using furring strips and run 2" across the metal studs.

If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. There is also 3M Thinsulate. This is probably my last build and forever home, hopefully 🙏. So I want it as perfect and built to last as possible. Going with a Mini Split and at leat a 2000w 24v solar system.

Just checked it says Wool is not a recognised food source for rodents including rats, mice and squirrels.

Just wanted to Bump this. Pay is now 28.50 per hr plut OT after 40.

I am building a new 24' 8.5' wide cargo trailer. I will live in year round. It gets in the 90's in the summer and below freezing in the winter. I plan on going 4" preferably Sheep's Wool or PolyIso. Anyone have experience with 4" or greater for heat and AC retention? I do not mind spending the...
