Well, I've had the insulation in my horse trailer for a few weeks now but have been too busy to give the trailer much attention lately. Got into it tonight and noticed that it was quite cold inside. Temps outside were about 40 degrees. Had been running heat strip from the ceiling unit for awhile but it was still somewhat chilly to my skinny frame (read: no body fat--chill easily.) Is this normal for just one layer of foamboard insulation? Can I expect better insulating properties and warmth once I put up the furring strips, another layer of foamboard insulation, and the walls? Update on vapor barrier: I'm thinking of foregoing any sort of vapor barrier, as 2 layers of insulation should do a fair job of keeping any cold air that seeps into the trailer at bay (there aren't many ways cold air can come in.) I don't want to make things so tight behind the walls that moisture collects between the plastic and the first layer of insulation. Anyway... just expected the trailer to stay warm better after a layer of insulation. Thank you, Mike |
