Has anyone tried to use spray foam as insulation in their teardrop. I would be interested in hearing the pro and cons of using it.

I think it'd be a mistake. A giant mess.

Foam board works well and is easy to install. No muss no fuss.

I think it would cause bulges in your walls.

We have 1.5" EPS, one reason to not use sprayed foam it is harder to remove if you have a problem

You won't regret insulation but you rapidly reach a point of diminishing returns. The small volume inside means you'll need fresh air. Pretty soon the air change requirements negate most of the advantage of extra insulation.
