What do peeps use/recommend for adding some insulation to their EBs?
Do you do floors, sides, roof?

Humphrey said:Dynamat isn't a thermal insulation it's just for sound deadening. But regarding adhesion, I think the answer is in your post when you say...dynamat "type" material. There are a lot of poor substitutes out there including some folk who will state that you can get the same results using everything from flash tack to roofing tiles! - like most things in life, you get what you pay for. If you use genuine Dynamat applied as directed and make sure you rub the surface down well with ethyl alcohol or white spirits first you wont have any problems with sagging. One other tip, for very large areas like the roof, you don't need to cover the whole surface. Squares of about 1.5 x 1.5 ft works great and wont put too much weight where you don't want it. HTH's!
Humphrey said:My 2c, definitely worth it! We did ours and the difference before and after is very noticeable. We used the foil lined bubble type insulation. It doesn't hold water and is very light weight but has a similar "R" rating to fibre glass batts. And if you use decent thermal lining for your curtains you should stay toasty warm. RE condensation, just like your house air it out well when you wake up in the morning...simples!
A link for the foil insulation is here: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/westcountry-campervans?_trksid=p4340.l2563" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (ebay store). Found the service excellent. He also sells sound proofing which works great as well.
All the best!
