More Insulation

Adventure Location: Rockport, Texas
 

The cold night made the OFM remember that his plans to add insulation to the Castle during the summer were never put into action. So the action started today. Already in the past lots of insulation has been added to the Castle and it has helped tremendously.  It is time for more.

This time, sheets of foam are being added to the outside walls of the Castle. For example inside the bathroom closet was one wall about four feet long that was still factory only. In an Arctic Fox the factory insulation is better than most RVs, but there is room to add to the insulation. Here is the unfinished foam in place on the longer outside wall.

Of course no work can be done by old folks without some colorful additions to their bodies.

Another thing the Teams do is put foam in the big window at the dining room table when the temps get very high or low. Here is the foam in place waiting for the shade to be pulled down for the night.

All these seemingly small changes make large differences in the comfort and lack of cold or hot spots inside the living area. An additional effect is that several times campground owners/managers have commented that the OFM Teams have the lowest electrical bills of all their campers. Since the main cost of electricity is for the AC or the electric heaters, this means that the extra insulation is doing some good.

Adding insulation to your home to help stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter is good for trying to have tooooo much fun. TheOFM
