Not Mike, but we did insulate our '97 steel trailer and started making a 
real LQ in it before we sold it.
We bought the rigid 4'x8' pieces of foam insulation (they had foil backing 
on both sides). Would cut a piece to fit very tightly in between the studs 
of the trailer. For the curved places, cut a slightly larger piece than you 
need, score the back side of the piece you are fitting and then just shove 
it in place. The scored area will crack on the back side while the front is 
held together with the foil. With it being slightly larger than you need, 
the scored area is shoved together so you don't have large non-insulated 
spaces. It *will* fit very nicely (once you get the hang of it >g< ) and the 
insulation makes such a nice difference!

Good luck,
