Went through and sealed and filled the roof bows with low expansion foam. Then I cut the 1 inch foam for each space, I tried to fit it tightly so it would stay up without glue. After the sheets were pressed between the bows any that seemed to be loose I filled the gaps with caulking.
Then in the opposite direction I installed the radiant barrier insulation. This is a semi-rigid foil sided 1/2 inch insulation. The sales hype says that this is a R-21 factor insulation, if you can believe that. I am not sure I buy into that, BUT I have used this in my home as a barrier for the radiant heat system, and it does hold back the heat. So if I believe all the BULLS,,T about the R-factors the ceiling will be around R-27, I don't believe it will be that much but I think it will allow us to be cooler inside the trailer.
