    So you installed insulation then ran the plywood strips over roof braces for a nailing piont

      yes. Gives a nice space to run wires too.

    Nice job! Looks heavy you’ll need a Dodge Cummins to pull it.

    I filled my outside vents with spray foam and then painted them black.

      I wound up putting them back over the hole but when I took this out the ac was sucking the door shut so hard I drilled them back out!

    I’m confused on your first comment on having a small air gap between your ceiling and insulation and later mentioning ‘rule of thumb’, to vent air space or fill it? Where did I misunderstand? Thanks.

    • @buildlifeoverland
      @buildlifeoverland  5 місяців тому

      Gets a little tricky and and some would debate but It is a space between the trailer roof and the insulation you need to vent or fill. The space below the insulation is within the controlled envelope if that makes sense.

    I can see the ceiling loosening up. Don’t you think glue added would have been a good choice?

    • @buildlifeoverland
      @buildlifeoverland  9 місяців тому

      Glue with a little flex to it is a good idea too I think. Also the ceiling trim around the perimeter keeps it locked in pretty good.

      @@buildlifeoverland can you elaborate more? I looked on Home Depot’s website and could find it. Do you know roughly how much the material weighs? Trying to keep my trailer weight down. (Single axle 7x12) thanks and like your videos
