Hi All,

Sounds like I came to the right place for help. I did manage to weed through some past posts and found a bunch of helpful info on insulating Aluminum trailers. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if it's the same for Steel? I have a WW Westerneer Deluxe 2H Straight load I was hoping to make the DR into somewhat of a sleeping quarters. Anyone have any suggestions? I've heard of people using the R-max foam (1/2") and aluminum tape (can you use this on steel?) Do you just place the foam against the steel of the trailer or is there a waterproof thing you put inbetween, or is the foam made to withstand the condensation?

Then when I am finished insulating, what do you use to panel the curved nose of the trailer?
Thanks in advance. I really appreciate it.

Thanks,

I am happy with it... Such a large DR for a BP. Hopefully I should be able to come up with some spacesaver ideas. I'm not looking to heat or cool it fully, just something to take the "chill" out on those cooler fall nights.
