Some travel trailer designs do use all flat surfaces: like the one I made. I like the idea of having the "skin" partly done already beforehand! Thanks for sharing about this product. 8)

If all these people did it, so can I.

You are most welcome, Shar.

I also found this interesting comparison article of Polyiso, EPS and rigid pink XPS with very interesting Polyiso vs. XPS side-by-side microscoping photos on page 9 of the document: http://insulation.owenscorning.com/assets/0/428/429/440/2f639b9f-590e-48b3-b25a-48e07e7fa312.pdf
Although it is written by XPS producer it is still has some hard facts there and after reading it I think XPS is probably overall has a winning edge over polyiso foam for a small trailer foamie build.

Cheers!
