Re: [RC] Glue for insulation--horse trailer LQ - Mike Lewis

You're the first person I've heard of who is planning to use plastic
sheeting.  I assume you mean between the insulation and the panel, not
between the insulation and the trailer skin?

I was told to use 3/4" of dead space between the insulation and the
paneling... and may end up with more than that.  Will have to talk to some
folks and see.  I suspect the furring strips will be about 1" thick,
minimum, which means I'll end up with 1.5 inches of dead space between the
insulation and the plywood that (I think) is supposed to be the base for
the furring strips to which the decorative wood paneling will attach.

Just feeling my way through this... haven't done it before, and don't want
to screw up the only trailer I'm likely to have for another 15-20 years
(till the kids are out of college...)

I would certainly appreciate knowing what ends up working the best for
you.  I believe my trailer guy wants to put up plastic sheeting before
the paneling. He is a wood guy and really wants to protect the paneling
from condensation. In your opinion, is the one inch dead air space
adequate in preventing condensation? I think the extra plastic could
cause problems with holding any moisture and possibly causing rust where
it is insulated? Have you heard this? Beccy in Utah
