Hey all very informative board you have here!

Question:
What are the pros and cons of insulating a teardrop?

Thanks

Hey G60, Thanks, and welcome to the board.

Regarding the insulation question, I've done it both ways. This time I'm back to building an insulated version for the light weight, and the structural strength it imparts...

But there's lots more pros and cons in this thread!!!

Thanks Mike,
My big concern is condensation inside the teardrop ruining the interior or even worse causing dryrot.

Sounds like vents at the botton and top allowing convection will minimize the condensation inside the cabin.

What about condensation between the exterior material and the insulation?
Does that happen?

Thanks
