You'll be as snug as a bug in a rug with these easy-to-use insulation techniques.
Travel trailers allow independent travel and vacations to wherever you feel like going. Travel trailers can be uncomfortable in cold weather; however, if properly insulated, a travel trailer can maintain a comfortable indoor temperature. The most important areas to insulate are the windows, vents and wire entry points. This is because the outside air can easily seep through holes in these places. To prevent loss of heat, these holes should be sealed. Investing in insulation will decrease your energy bills in the long term. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Apply sealant, such as polyurethane or silicone, to any gaps in the edges of your windows by simply locating gaps and squeezing small amounts of the adhesive sealant over the gaps. This will close the gaps which allow cold air into your travel trailer.
2. Add a clear, plastic secondary glazing to your windows. There are many self-adhesive plastic sheets available which you can install by simply pressing them against your window.
3. Hang a heavy fabric inside to cover your windows. This is a cheap and easy way to add an extra layer of insulation against the elements
4. Force foam rubber into the gaps in the floor through which the water and gas lines run through. This will prevent air from seeping in through these holes.
5. Put your vent cushion in your vent opening. This will seal the vent opening and prevent the entrance of cold air from the roof of your travel trailer.
