getting ready to skin my trailer (finally). should i put a barrier in between the skin and the sheeting. i used 7/16" osb with reflective skin on the back (for heat and cold ) and 2x2 framing with 1 1/2" stryofoam insulation...1" plywood subfloor with 3/4" stryofoam insulation and 24ga galv seets as water barrier..roof is 1/4" luan with 1 1/2" insul also...was thinking a 30min building paper would help with any moisture issues

I just rolled on a few thick coats of spar varnish under the aluminum.

Most people don't...but many vintage trailer manufacturers did use builders paper between the framing and aluminum skin.

I would paint as a just in case waterproof and wood preservative.
