Insulation - So easy a caveman can do it.

Well now I will have to rate the skill level at putting in insulation at 1-2; you do need to know how to use a good knife and I recommend a carpet knife because they stay sharp and are comfortable to handle for extended periods.  This is easily done as a one man or woman project with just the knife and tape measure.

This was a fun part of putting the trailer back together.  Before I got too far I took the marine sealant and sealed the seams a task I asked be done as they put the trailer together but then he didn't even use the glue I provided for our build instead he used a cheap glue, oh well fixed now and on to better.  I had my radio going and had a good time fitting the pieces in place like Tetris, not a piece went to waste even the small scraps I found places for.  I've used 1 1/2 sheets and I have three ceiling spaces and the wall between the galley and cabin left to insulate.  I have one more sheet but I'm not sure if I'll need it, so for $30 and about an hour you can keep warm and knock down noise in your trailer..... pretty good return on that investment.

I'll have to tell you how this improves sleeping in it after this weekend.  It was too cold without it and as I put it in the cabin felt warmer and quieter.  Our next step is laying the skin inside then on to building new cabinets and shelves and believe me they will now be made with 2.5mm plywood.

Ladies don't be afraid of building a teardrop on your own.  This is truly the way to get what you want and not get taken to the cleaners.
