I am doing the LQ area in my trailer. I have what was determined to br FRP walls, which are fiberglass on each side with plywood in middle. With that on there, will I need to insulate over that, or can I get away with not insulating those 2 walls?

the insulation value on most trailers is only 5 to 7 the walls with the board on them should have some insulation value so I would not worry about it . What size of LQ are you working on .The size of furnace makes the difference . what is the use of the trailer weekends or full time use .

The plywood core of your FRP panels already has a minimal insulating value. With the relatively small area of most LQs, and their ability to be easily heated with even a small ceramic heater, you should have no problem being comfortable in your converted space.
