[RC] insulation--horse trailer LQ - Betsy O'Shea

Hi Mike, I am also insulating a new trailer so am very interested is how you
are doing things. I was at Home Depot today and found the same insulation (I
think)you are using.  My insulation is rigid.  Is yours?  What are you going
to do about covering the curves in the trailer and the interior roof
portions.?.  My insulation won't bend without breaking, so I am thinking of
joining several  smaller horizontal pieces together and inserting them.  Is
this workable? Or is there something easier and better.  I am having a heck
of a time even finding insulation. fiberglass in rolls is just about all
they have, and I know that isn't right.
Betsy (open to, and PLEADING for suggestions)

covered on the other.  R-value is supposed to be 5, I believe, which I
think will be adequate based on others' feedback when using R-value of 3.

The 2" tape was of adequate thickness for my appliation.  Only managed to
get 3 sections done before dark today (didn't get home from Lowe's till
3:30.)  Things are coming together fairly well, although I had to use some
spray foam in a spot or 2 on one panel where it had broken inside and
crumbled after I cut it.  I'm pretty happy with this, but no telling what
will need to be done if I ever intend to have professionally done LQ
installed.  I suppose we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.


Mike
