I've never been able to find an aluminum trailer with the factory insulation package. Can anyone direct us to pictures and insulation specifics? My concern is it would be "delicate" and have a tendency to "pick".

If you were going to add insulate to an older trailer, what specific product would you use?


I looked at one several years ago and the insulation on that one appeared to be black "rubbery" expanded foam - not polystyrene foam. I have the same decision to make and will ask Spindelberger to send a sample.


There are a number of self adhesive foam insulations available that are reasonably priced. I've also used the reflective "bubble wrap" stuff with 3M 77 or 90 spray adhesive (though that isn't so suitable for trailers). It doesn't need a high R value as it only needs to prevent condensate on interior surfaces. This stuff on Amazon looks interesting:
