I have one inch of Polyiso insulation in the walls and two inches in the ceiling, but my best purchase was a Dickinson (vented outside) propane heater. Now I have way more heat that I need.

in the ceiling i went with 1” polyiso board between the joists, then another 1” overtop the joists as a thermal break. in the walls i installed 1” of polyiso between the studs then a 1/2” layer overtop. i plan to insulate under the floor once wiring etc is done, for now i have 1/2” interlocking workout mat on the floor, very nice on the feet and has sound deadening properties :)
it’s finally cold enough (0 deg c) for my 2kw chinese diesel heater to work properly without overheating the trailer, lol
