Love your videos, rebuilding one now, and getting so much information
Thank you for watching. Good luck on your build
Insulation is great for weather like today!
Keep the rain/snow out!
I put reflectix insulation in my camper also. It's ready for the trunk liner carpet, and that may get done tomorrow.
That Scotty is looking good!
Thank you. Keep up the good work.
Wow, very interesting. I watched the whole vedio.
Thank you!
That Refletix bubble wrap stuff has an R rating of like, 1. It needs to have an air gap of several inches to do any better, which even then is debated.
2.1 a little better than nothing.
So do you work for hire on other peoples vintage trailers as well? Please?
Absolutely. rebuildsbyrob@@gmail.com
hi Rob, can I add that bubble wrap insulation to the interior of the camper, before I put the walls back up?
You were right about the thin insulation I only pulled out a couple of pieces and they were really no thicker than a Kitchen towel. no wonder it was so hot in the camper! 🌋
Use it on the Scottys for sure.
@@RobTheRebuilder Can I use spray adhesive to attach it to the aluminum? And then just place the wall panel over it?
@@SuperStarDIY I think its best to apply it to the exterior plywood. If its a stick build i think its best to cut out rigid insulation and place it between the walls and the skin.
@@RobTheRebuilder Thanks for the reply! 👍 I am a novice so I'm apprehensive about removing the skin. it (But I may have to b/c the frame corners need rebuilt. 😖)
I did watch your video where you applied "bubble foam insulation all over the exterior.
Your videos are very helpful! 😁 Thanks, Jennifer!
@@SuperStarDIY Take your time and lots of reference pictures. Good luck
Great videos, thanks! I am restoring a 1965 Go-Lite trailer and am so glad I found this series of videos on your 64 Scotty, as my walls are made solely of single sheets of plywood also, no standard framing they attach to. That seems very unusual, but mine looks just like yours.
One question I have which I don't see addressed in these videos is how did you attach the skins where the side and roof skins come together. For mine, the top edge of the sides was stapled, then the roof skin where it overlaps the sides was stapled, then butyl tape and J-Rail. Specifically, did you staple also, and if so, what type staples (crown width, leg length, gauge, and whether you used brite, galvanized or stainless staples)? Lastly, any particular stapler to recommend?
All the early Scottys were plywood walls. I use 1/4 crown 1/2" , 18 guage staples. The way you described it is the way it was done from the factory. Serro did not waste any material or money so as to keep the prices low.
@@RobTheRebuilder Thanks Rob. That was the direction I was figuring to go also. Keep up the great videos!
@@RobTheRebuilder Actually I have one other quick question. To attach the skins, did you use regular staples, or instead galvanized or stainless?
Do you notice any moisture retention/mold issues? That'd be my worry. I've been debating about installing reflectix just like you did on my wall before I attach the siding.
If you seal it up good you shouldn't have any problems.
@@RobTheRebuilder do you think there could be in colder climates where we are running the furnace? I live in Canada and plan on taking my trailer out into October and maybe November when it dips below 0.
Can you insulate from the inside?
On a Scotty you would have to build a frame and then panel over it. It would take up more space in an already small area.
@@RobTheRebuilder I have a 68 beeliner with 2x2 framing so I was going to insulate from the inside
