Batt verses block insulation
What are the pros and cons of batt verses foam block insulation? Wondering about batt being able to stand the rigors of going up and down highways without falling down in walls, cap, etc.

One item to think about is toxicity if the worst case scenario should happen (fire). While each form of insulation releases toxic fumes when burning, spray foam has been singled out as having the highest toxicity and flammability among the three. This article sums things up nicely.

If I was redoing a rig I would use a mix of the bat and spray, only applying the spray foam away from heat sources and not in low lying areas where the fumes could come up into the cabin if a fire occurred.
