I am doing the L\Q's in my trailer. After installing the insulation can I screw the panelling directly to the aluminum tubing or should I put a strip of wood over the tubing first? I heard without the wood stripping the condensation off the tubing will cause the panelling to rot. If that is the case would vapour barrier help?

What kind of insulation did you use and how did you attach it. I am interested in finishing out my front tack but I can not find much information. Thanks in advance for any help.

I used 1" foam board the r value is good enough for what I need. I used stuff called PL 300 (Foam Board Adhesive Glue) to stick it to the walls and ceiling. You can buy it @ home Depot. Then I used aluminum tape to seal the cracks between each board. You can also go to www. Todd.redwrench.com that site might help you out

Have you ever thought of using insulated paint for your trailer? Try www.hytechsales.com. I used the BUS KOTE and it works wonderfully! Just a thought...

Go to ehow.com and type in How to build living quarters in horse trailers... they have great instructions
