Looks great,batman99! Question about the foam insulation,please: Whereja get it? Equipment needed? How difficult to apply? How hard to get even thickness? Really,really liked that idea too. ~Gnarly
The 2 lbs Closed Cell spray foam under our seasonal site TT is 3.5" to 4.0" thick. It was installed by a professional contractor - who is licensed in Faom Spraying. Before spraying, I wrapped the slide motor, slide rails, holding take valves, etc. etc. with plastic. After spraying, I simply removed their plastic wrappings. Thus, stopping even accidentaly over spray on these sensitive areas. If wondering, he brought his large truck that had 2 long hoses. Chemical A and chemical B. They mix at the tip of his gun - as he's laying on his back - under our TT. A dirty job that isn't for everyone.
To find a Spray Foam contractor, I simply hit my phone book and starting calling all Building / Insulation companies in my area. I even asked my local lumber stores for insulation company recommendations. Of the 25 folks I contacted / called, only 5 companies were willing to do "such a small job". I then picked the best company I felt was best - which wasn't the best price. I picked the one who did Trailers in their past and understood and pros/cons of doing an underside of the TT. If wondering, Spray Foam is approx 4-5 times "more" cost then fiber glass insulation - of same square footage. But to me, Spray Faom is well worth it. Especially since we plan to keep our TT for 10+ years. To me, the underside of all trailers should be spray foam - just like the very expensive RVs. Will send you more pictures via PM.
Good luck!!!
