Re: [VAC] bunkroom fabric panels/Insulation?



Annie,

Those panels you removed were mostly for insulation.  You can use new
cardboard or something similar and cover it with a layer of foam or carpet
padding and the the "pretty" cover.  You will freeze on cold days and nights
without it. When you turn over and bump into that cold aluminum it will wake
you up in a hurry. If all the padding is too much for you to handle, think
about a good thick carpet and use a construction glue in a calk gun to
install.  Did that once in a rear bedroom '75-31 foot.  Sure did make it
nice.

The newer  trailers have used carpeting for insulation on most of the walls,
even in the living room.  It also makes a difference in sound quality.
Keeps outside sound out.
