I will provide another perspective. What's to gain by making the repair with spray foam at a professional level repair?
Strength is not part of this, as any repair will not regain or add any strength from what was originally in place. Insulation R value? May be.
Look at the other features of your TT. Windows and underbody for example. Do you reall think this small area of repair with or without insulation will make any difference? Odds are...no.
Make the repair, use a can of low expanding foam in a can for $4, or pack the are with fiberglass. And be done. You, nor anyone else will know the difference.
I am talking about my entire ceiling and back wall, I would imagine having that all insulated would make a substantial difference in my trailers indoor temps, especially in the summer with the sun beating down on my hot tin roof!
Well, I guess I underestimated what you were really doing.
My reply, surprisingly doesn't change.
Its a trailer...I think think high R-values do not outweigh the excessive cost (or effort) unless you live in it year round AND all other features of the trailer are also of high R-value.
The OP is going to put some sort of insulation back in the spaces he opens or has opened.
If the original fiberglass bat insulation is deemed to be failing (and I've seen what happens) what would you suggest to put in those spaces?
