Front cap added insulation

If it needs insulation in the cap, I bet there are plenty of other areas that are just as bad or worse...Just sayin

B.O.

Buy more clothes and fill the closet.....??

anyone else?

I had a small leak in the upper corner and decided to repair it. Then I found there was rotten wood. I took almost all the screws out and called a friend and we finished taking the screws out and putting the cap on the ground. We fixed the wood and put in fiberglass insulation, both 6" and 3 1/2" there had not been any before. ( builder saved close to $10) Much warmer/cooler in bedroom now. Total time less than 4 hours 2 men.Had to buy 2 rolls of butyl tape, 1 tube dicor and insulation. cost around $30. A 6&8 ft ladder were needed.

thanks to all, my 2014 fifth wheel is parked
in the Keys and the cap is facing east so It
get the morning sun, we have a Tiki Hut next
to the rig on the south side and it has helped
a great real. This is a Hearthland Big Country.
I can access the front cap so now I know what
the next project will be

Phelpo

I added insulation after I discovered only 5 pieces of loose batting hanging in front of the closet.
I had to remove the front cabinet to access the void between the closet and the front cap.
2 ft x 4 ft 3/8 foam sheets with foil on one side and clear plastic on the other. its flexible enough to attach to the fiberglass using spray glue
(you need ventilation)and insulation tape. I put 2 layers in our Crusader,also covered the back of the closet, made a world of difference,
Not a easy task but worth the time.

Several years ago, I had an issue with my flagstaff front cap coming loose on the top. Even though it was still under warranty, I decided to do the work myself and took the whole cap off. I was appalled to see the lack of insulation. There was just a few pieces of foam glued to the inside wall, with gaps of about 8-10 inches between them. I used the expanding spray foam, let it cure, then cut the excess with a knife to allow the cap to fit. I put it all back together and it was a lot better than it was.

I put reflectix in the closet...top/bottom and sides and also in the front storage I covered everything I could with some more reflectix. Also....drawers on both sides of the closet....pulled drawers out and put some there also.

I removed the sliding mirror doors and put up insulated curtains....don't have to mess with the doors, covers entire open closet area and keeps the cooler air out better than the metal sliding doors...one of the best DIY things we did for the 5er....insulated curtains match bedroom colors perfectly..

That's a great idea. Thanks.

Could you blow in some insulation, maybe fiberglass. I'd think cellulose would be too heavy.
