[VAL] underfloor insulation
Hi All,
I'm ready to lay down new plywood underflooring my Safari and was going
to use regular fiberglass insulation as they did in the factor but
wondered-- is there something available at my local Home Center that
will work better? Cut down 4x8 sheets of foam insulation maybe? And
should it be attached to the underside of the floor, secured between
the frame rails or just laid on top of the bellypan?
ALSO, the factory laid the insulation between the frame rails and the
plywood. Is there a reason I need to have something separating the
plywood from steel or was it just easier/faster for them to assemble it
this way?
I'm replacing the rotten plywood one sheet at a time from the top while
leaving the bellypan in place. So far, it's working quite well. I'll
post pics if anyone's interested.
Thanks for any suggestions!
