on mine i used 1" blue styrofoam,i think it had a r-value of 5. also after i ran my furring strips i cut 3/4 " styrofoam to fit in between the strips i dont think  you can have to much insulation....You can also look into the bubble wrap insulation not sure of the r-value

I have been in the conversion shops and have seen them install a kraft faced fiberglass batt that has a R-8 value. Appeared to be 1 1/2" thick

I have heard that foamboard, with bubblewrap covering it and the structural braces, works very well.  Also can use fiberglass or cotton insulation batts between braces, covering all with bubblewrap.
