Does your trailer have "studs" on the walls?  That may be a silly question, 
but I've never looked at other trailers. I have to assume that any trailer 
has studs to give it strength.  Our aluminum livestock trailer is reinforced 
with studs and we just put rigid foil-covered Styrofoam insulation panels in 
between the studs, then pop-riveted pre-finished plywood panels over the 
insulation, making sure the rivets went into the studs, not the skin.  No 
leaks, and the LQ we created is nice and snug and well insulated.
