We do most of our camping during the cooler months and I am slowly working my way around the trailer and addressing all the cold spots and adding insulation and stopping drafts.
Due to another a separate reason i had to drop the front bulkhead (by the pin box and front storage area). I was surprised ( well, not really) to find out there is no floor insulation in this area. No wonder my feet are so cold.
For a cost of less than $10 I bought a piece of closed cell 1" insulation sheathing. As you can see it is equivalent to an R5
I cut the sheet to fit in between the floor joists. A few strips of foil backed tape holds everything in place. (not shown)
I still have to do the bottom of the floor in the front storage area. The wall separating the front storage area and the basement was done last year along with a few other areas.
Having the bulkhead down also makes it very easy to run a few extra wires for future use.
Hopefully my feet wont be cold anymore.
For anyone else who camps in colder weather, this is a very easy mod that you will definitely get your money back on.
