Re: [VAL] Charlie B re:white roofs on Airstreams
Appears you guys are talking about two different white roofs. Some people
with Airstreams paint the outside to keep the trailer cooler inside. I don't know
what they use. Airstream started using a white padded ceiling inside around
1994. Some of these early models had trouble in hot weather when the heat
caused the glue to let the ceiling drop. This happened in extremely hot climate
such as Florida. The company recognized the problem and how use some type of new
glue that they say does not cause this problem. Airstream says they used the
padded ceilings to keep the noise down and to better insulate the trailers. We
will see.
