We are in New Brunswick, Canada and we will be using the camper mostly in spring and fall. Without insulation would we be warm enough with a small heater or do we need to insulate?

Greetings Canada and Hello Cindy

I live in the Country of Finland.. I do believe our climate is much like yours.. On mine I used 3/4 inch side walls or if its 20mm.. and front to back on roof I used 50mm about (2 inches ) blue styro which is much better than the normal styrofoam...
I may have gone too thick but ok its warm.. :lol: :lol:

Im not sure yet as to how cold the walls will be without the insulation there but I think it maybe a little cold if a bare back is to it.. especially in late fall or early spring...

Next tear I build will most definitely be insulated throughout..especially for our climate..

Also at 1st we wanted to use the tear for summer but the teardrop fever progressed... :lol: :lol: and even without the walls insulated we will go and have some winter fun in it..

Ohh Cindy be careful Teardrop fever has no cure it only progresses.. :lol: :lol:

Welcome to the Forum and have fun..

Again Greetings from Finland
