Hello,
I'm looking at buying a fiberglass teardrop that's being sold as a utility trailer and so has no insulation.
How could I insulate it?
Thanks for any help.

Hi, Noni!
Another possibility would be to line the walls & ceiling with the padded & pre-patterned upholstery material found in many upholstery supply shops (some looks like tuck-n-roll, some looks like diamond-tuck, etc.). It doesn't take much padding to make a big insulative difference, and the added bonus is that it will give the trailer a much nicer feeling inside.
Don't know if you've looked at the Bell RV Liberty yet or not, but their trailers have insulation laminated into the structure as well as a thin layer of insulation under the headliner material.
Good Luck with your search! In the meantime ...
CHEERS!

We use a product called Temp Coat to insulate odd shaped areas of our buses at work. We spray it on with a hopper gun but you could probably use a roller to apply. It smells terrible when wet but the smell goes away when it is dry.
