We just bought a 95 jackson 3h gooseneck. , I find that the bunk up in the gooseneck just drips in condensation when it gets cool out. Any suggestions on how to fix it. And or the best type of insulation for it.

The ceiling and walls should be insulated. The condensation is caused by the warm moist air coming in contact with a cool metal surface.

Hi. I insulated my steel gooseneck tack area (3' short wall) with two types of insulation. I used the aluminum backed 4x8 sheet insulation. I used the 1" thick where I could and 1/2" where the 1" was too thick. In the areas near the ceiling where the corners are rounded, I used aluminum backed bubblewrap insulation which comes in 2' and 4' widths. I doubled it in the nose area. I used aluminum tape, similar to duct tape but not the same, to hold the insulation in place. Then put up furring strips and nice paneling to finish it up. Here is a link to the website I used to help me. I didn't do all the fancy stuff he did, but did use the website for practical ideas. I no longer had any condensation problems after insulating this way. http://todd.redwrench.com/index.htm Go to this link and see what you can do with the info. It was easy and actually fun too :))
