wall and ceiling insulation

Question

I'm removing wall and ceiling panels in my travel trailer to fix a water leak and mold problem. I'm also removing the insulation as it was wet as well.  What type of insulation should I replace it with?  Would the blue foam insulation be okay to use or should I find something similar to what I removed?  Thanks.

I think the blue foam would work. It would likely be better than the original, and not soak up water.Jerry

If you can swing it, spayed in foam would be best. It will fill every cavity, add some strength, and won't hold onto water like a wet sponge like you get with batts. It does cost more though. Rigid foam boards would work as well. Your run of the mill trailer has about an R-7 value in the walls so if you can meet or beat that with rigid foam then you should be good to go.
