Re: [RC] trailer ventilation/insulation - Laney Humphrey

That insulations seems pretty cool (pun intended!)

I did 2 things that made my horse trailer and its dressing room AMAZINGLY cooler. 1.) Bought roll on tractor paint at the farm store and painted the roof WHITE. Just used some TSP to clean it first, primed it white and rolled it on. You have to be close to see that it isn't a great job. 2.) PAINT ON insulation! WOW did it work! http://wwwnansulate.com/nansulate_translucent_PT.htm <http://www.nansulate.com/nansulate_translucent_PT.htm> is the stuff I used. I STILL can't believe how much difference it made....but of course, your mileage may vary. Just cleaned the metal with TSP and rolled it on!

At one time, I had two trailers of pretty much the same size and
construction, but one had blown-in insulation on the roof, the other
didn't.
Side by side in the sun, the insulated trailer was noticeably
cooler. Never
measured it, but maybe ten degrees or so, maybe more. The dressing/tack
room was also insulated and I'd notice that things stayed nicer, as
opposed
to the non-insulated trailer, where things could get pretty goopy
and icky
in the heat.
