The Manufactured Housing Forums

I'm looking for info on how i could wrap my
mobilehome in thick insulation so that i can
reduce my heating and cooling bills way down
because i just can't afford to heat it unless
i find a way to insulate it first,,i'm
thinking of a truss which would straddle the
roof with side trusses with plywood spacers
all the way down the sides and then a truss
connecting across the bottom so to make a
space to fill with rolls of R19 at least and
then i could just fill it by rolling it from
the roof, across the roof, down the sides in
one long strip of insulation,with the trusses
spaced every 2 feet and then side it with
2"thick styrofoam board,then strandboard,or
just steel siding,and then i'll add a small
Sunroom on the southside for passive Solar
with insulation around the perimeter and
bricks or flagstones on the floor to hold the
heat,and a vestibule/airlock entrance..

my mother needs info. on how to insulation her mobile home. Her place is part trailer and part house.She wants to know how to insulate the underpinning that is on the trailer part of her home.Her pipes freeze up in the winter. The house is not on a foundation. Please help. Thanks Kathleen
