Don't know if it has any thermal value. I really don't need it for fair weather camping. More for sound.128688128687128686128685 What a beer I mean time consuming task. :hammerhead:

Yes, Kaz, it has some insulation thermal value. For example, If I remember correctly, the 3/4" Styrofoam has an R-5 rating.
Our camp trailers are so small that a little insulation helps a lot, both to keep it warmer/cooler and to muffle the outside noise.
