Tearing out old electrical

Diane stripped out old 120 v wiring and 12v interior wiring with bolt cutters, it would have taken me forever, as I would be trying to remember each existing run. She allowed me to start fresh.

Next layer insulation

Install 2” strips of 1/2” thick Owens Corning Foamular from Home Box next to vertical ribs, and about 12” O.C. in between ribs, used carpet tape again, I think I bought over 30 rolls of this stuff

More Prodex

Install second layer of Prodex, sealing up wiring and creating ½” air gap, adhere with carpet tape, seal with Silver AC seam tape, we purchased one roll of Prodex and able to easily apply two layers, with some left over for wheel wells

Last layer insulation

Install layer of ½” RMax panel insulation adhered with more carpet tape to fill 1 ½” wall, seal seams with Silver AC seam tape, I hope this will add to sound deadening and possibly add to R value

Another injury - safety warning

Power wash interior skins, Diane found that power washer can go right through your foot, just inside of little toe, but trailer skins clean up very nicely.
Please wear appropriate shoes if you chose to use a power washer

Flooring

Install vinyl sheet flooring, bought vinyl sheet tape, seems to be exactly the same as carpet tape we used for insulation installation. Only glued down the single seam. Measure, measure, check, measure, then cut
