Re: [A/S] Urethane Foam Insulation
"We understand the importance of building coaches that are insulated for all
weather conditions and durable enough for extended cross-country travel. That's
why all Foxes have R-18 blanket insulation in the ceiling and R-7 insulation in
the walls and floor. You will be protected from extreme temperatures in all
seasons, that's why Arctic Fox has earned a Four Season Rating. "
I am not sure that the insulation above is sufficient for possible -80* (below
zero) weather. I agree, you would need to get any RV inside another structure
or under ground
iow, follow the government's building examples for AntArctic structures.
and even then, those scientists are not really staying all that comfy warm.
btw, at one time ca 1950-60s, Wally was building his trailers for cold weather
at one plant and for desert or warm climate on the Left Coast.
fwiw
