looking to get into the camper world
Hi, so I have a large 5th wheel but I am now thinking of buying a truck camper in addition to the 5th so we can access parks with smaller spots or for when we go to the island to lower the ferry cost ...

The way most TC are build is that they take empty shell, install wall panels, ceiling and flooring and then put interior walls and cabinet in it.
So you can spend lot of time trying to cut to shape overlaying panels, but for original panels removal and insulation replacement you'd have to gutter whole camper.
Unless it is very old camper with fiberglass insulation, it most likely will have Styrofoam. You can upgrade it with neoprene, but that will add only a notch to R-value.
Than all campers leave factory with lot of holes in them, so sealing the cord compartment, basement drafts and such can be big improvement.
What you want to avoid is delamination. When you look at small angle at outside walls, they suppose to be flat. When you see "bubbles" on them - that is sign that dryrot is under the skin and that is a cancer.
