Hi Guys
So I'm in the middle of a camper refurb. I stripped large sections of the walls and roof to bare aluminum to repair water damage and rot. I've got all the wood rebuilt and everything resealed. I've a few elusive leaks to track down and repair but once thats done I'm ready to insulate and board up.
I'm considering getting a professional to do a closed cell spray foam insulation job. The reason I want to go for this is I believe it will do the best job of stopping condensation. I'm convinced this was at least equally as responsible as the leaks for the rot.
The old insulation system was 3mm ply glued to the aluminium, 20mm aeroboard or styrofoam on top of that and then the front 3mm wall board. I've had the bare walls exposed all through the winter and I've been observing them almost running water from condensation. I have no confidence in just redoing things as they where. I'm sure that the aluminum will continue to generate condensation behind that set up.
I believe the foam sprayed directly onto the aluminum should completely stop the condensation and provide good heat and sound insulation.
Has anyone done this? Any thoughts
Cheers
