Posted: Wed Apr 20, 2005 3:24 amOh your right..... I just checked my notes from my Lowes visit it is actually R7.5 for 1.5" and R5 for 1".... OOPS... 
Posted: Wed Apr 20, 2005 3:27 amOh darn. I was hoping you were on to something really good there. I was thinking, "Wow, I can have great insulation too."
Jeez, there are a lot of people on this forum at 3:30am. Is anyone sleeping this morning?

I work at night, I keep the same schedule on my days off. I'm getting ready to do some grocery shopping so I can pack lunch for the week.

So do you guys think my design will work? The wall frame and floor are both supported by the trailer frame. The only thing that isn't will be the side plywood which is glued and screwed to the wall frame. It shouldn't go anywhere right? In addition the whole tear will be glassed for added strength and weather proofing......

Posted: Wed Apr 20, 2005 4:59 amYes that design will work just fine. Your sidewall would have to completely delaminate for the walls to shear... I don't think that's about to happen.

Posted: Wed Apr 20, 2005 1:48 pmHi all,
Here's the way that I'm thinking about mounting my floor. I'm trying to maximize the headroom in the cabin so I want a low structure for the floor.
I have not shown that the floor and walls are screwed to the "nailer block'.
