I am currently attempting to insulate the static caravan i currently live in.
As it is rented i cannot open up the existing walls so am having to insulate from the inside.
i bought some 'kingspan' or another make of rigid foam boards with a foil backed side from a seconds outlet.
I have screwed the insulation boards directly onto the plywood walls and then covered with hardboard.
I am currently concerned about the 'dew point' and have been trying to gain some kind of help and advice with this through a post in the forum.
"insulation board. what way round should foil side face?"
I have removed a section of hardboard and insulation (its been up for 2 weeks) to see whats happening to the plywood wall and found it was very cold and as if there was moisture there.
I have removed another section on a different wall and this seems fine.
i am worried that if i continue to insulate the walls and then decorate etc is there a damp problem that will be occurring in between the insualtion board and the plywood and will i be slowly rotting the plywood which would be a great disaster.
If anyone can help please see my post in the forum and respond.
Thanks
