Custom camper builds, what is being used?
Im in the final planning stages of my camper, and need to make a final decision on insulation.
So far I have is narrowed down to two options...
Extruded polystyrene, and Polyisocyanurate w/ foil face.
I like the idea of the radiant shield, and the additional R-value of the Polyisocyanurate, but it has its drawbacks.
R-value of 6.8 per inch
Foil face on both sides
brittle
Cellular reception within camper will suffer greatly
easy to seal joints (foil tape)
I have a concern of moisture condensation on the aluminum surfaces
The Extruded polystyrene is tough stuff, has a slightly less R-value, but can be difficult to seal joins 100%
R-value of 5 per inch
closed cell foam
very tough
nothing seems to stick to it, hard to tape joints.
Any comments? Suggestions?
