Insulation & Aluminum questions

[Changer]

Okay, so the camper is home! But before I put the walls back in on the inside (it's currently stripped out, except for the one white panel he'd gotten back in before he decided to sell it). I want to insulate it. What's the best thing to use? I'm going to be primarily camping in hot, not cold, but there will be SOME cold. What about condensation?

Foam seems like it'd be easiest to cut to exact dimensions. I hate working with the icky pink stuff. If there's a really GOOD reason to use that, I will suck it up and use it, though. (Or pay the neighbor to do it. ). What about using foam in combination with Reflectix or something?

Thanks y'all! Boss is going to help me troubleshoot my lights tomorrow!

foam is a better insulation.. it's got a better R value per inch and it wont settle out like the pink will.. pink doesn't like vibration and it's ITCHY!! then use spray foam for the nooks and crannies

Extruded polystyrene works great as insulation, no itchy-ness...aka blue insulation...

I like it when you guys give me the answer I wanted to hear! I *like* working with foam.

I forgot to post my aluminum question but it was how do you guys deal with little imperfections- a lot of dents, a place where a vent got ripped off, and one just plain squished part. (The wood underneath is okay, I pried it up to look.) It's painted, if that makes a difference. I'm wondering if I could just make a 'faux' surface on it out of something and paint it to match rather than trying to patch it or anything.

it comes in pink blue or white -- you could put either a fiberglass facesheet on it or a 1/8 inch layer of plywood and paint either.
