Insulation
Just wondering. We hopefully will never be in temps lower than 45 degrees with our fifth wheel but is it possible to use blown in insulation in an rv? Is there enough space in-between the walls? I'm w...

I dont think blown in insulation will work in an RV. They are not really built like houses.
I just had my small bedroom slide completely apart to put a new floor in it. The spaces created by the upright members and the cross members are small. In addition there already is insulation in those spaces usually glued to the interior wall.
To do the one wall of my small slide would take about 8 separate holes for blown in insulation.
The area above in the ceiling is also similarly divided into many small spaces.
I just dont think you will have a good result.
When I had my slide apart I replaced the fiberglass insulation with Foam Board. This too has an unintended side effect. any pressure on the inside wall will show a slight Bulge on the outside. But it insulates better for sure. BUT it is NOT worth taking the walls off your unit to do it. That is a simple, but time consuming job. (if it's aluminum sided) If it is fiberglass laminate it is much more difficult.
