- KidooExplorerInsulated a little more. There is a lot of place for improvement on the Bigfoot 4 seasons. The generator box only has a thin layer of fiberglass insulation and one area without any isolation, so I hadded a 1 inch Rose Foam toped with a double bubble foil. The propane tank has no insulation at all between the box and the camper, it is just a thin layer of plastic box and the aerated door, so I hadded 3 inch fiberglass with a layer or double bubble.
Behind the shower, the outside shower has no insulation at all, I sprayed some Can Foam over the area. - DoneItAllExplorerOff-loaded so that I can use the truck to gather some campfire wood. Drained the water heater and fresh water tank. Thought about pumping in the pink stuff. Soon, very soon. Certainly within the next week.
John - _DJ_1Explorer III somehow threw my back out several days ago and it is not coming back very fast. I am really falling behind on my winter projects!!! :(
- pa_travelerExplorerPulled truck out from meatal shed . Put jacks down,slide out, and inside step off,unplugged camper from bed of truck shut off disconnect switch, changed sure power isolater 1314 to 1314a.
- Conch_CruiserExplorerlooking for leaks
- JumboJetExplorerReplaced Sure Power 1314 Isolator with the 1314A. Tested the isolator by connecting to my truck and observed with a volt meter while the intake heater grid was cycling on my cold Dodge Ram. Solenoid would click - voltage would go up to 13.nn on the camper battery pole. Solenoid would click and voltage drop to 12.nn on the camper battery pole. After several off/on cycles, I buttoned it all up and called it good.
Moved the battery disconnect switch that was hidden under the step to the slide-out to next to the slide-out override switch. What engineer decided to locate that switch in such an inconvenient place? - garryk6Explorer

Finished up insulating under the bed and the bathroom cabinet area. The only place I have left is the closet, but not sure about putting the foam board in there. Any one have any ideas of using something different?
Try "Reflectix" it is a double-foil-backed bubble-wrap insulation. Make sure to spray-glue, or seal edges with foil-duct-tape to keep moisture from getting behind it. I have insulated most of my camoer with it, and we survived a week of single-digit weather with a few nights to -9F. It is only 1/4" thick, so it doesn't take as much space away, which is important on a camper!
Garry in Kodiak, AK - mountainkowboyExplorerPutting it back up on the truck and working alittle more on the inside.
