When exterior metal is replaced, at least by a select few, a bead of Vulkem is used between the seams.
However, any thermal insulating gain, would be negated by the rivets.
Separting the outside metal from the inside, using a non conducting material, would be a monumenal task.
Then we would be back to double pane, or true thermopane windows, again. 
Maybe some type of composite would work.

Andy,
It may well be, but my trailer was assembled with a sealant between the skin and the outside of the ribs, it appears to be butyl. It is has similar properties to the sealants that we use in architectural metals. It is not UV stable. I had a section of rib off my 81 that I left exposed for a few weeks and the sun turn the sealant to a powder, which is the way butyl sealants behave.
