Ok, I came upon a very unique and well kept U-haul truck, F600 1973, almost 30 feet long. It was used for a trail riding business in Washington so it was forever dubbed the "Muletruck". It already had insulation in between the aluminum joists in the ceiling, but the warm air still condenses above the plywood and then drips down soiling the plywood. I've recently come upon enough recycled tongue and groove cedar to do the entire interior of the box with with it. First though, Im ripping off all the thin plywood, and am going to not only insulate between all the studs, walls included, but also to put full 4'X8' sheets of rigid insulation against the studs, and then finally the cedar on top of all that. Now then since I'm going to go through all the effort of putting in cedar, I want to stop all condensation, and possible mold. I was thinking of first using a roll of thick poly, as often in construction, and putting that against all the studs, then putting the insulation against the poly, and then use stainless steel self tapping screws to hold the cedar to the studs, and of course the insulation. I've come here to make sure I'm on the best course possible.
One thing that I probably won't be changing is the 7 windows that are for horse trailers, and are only single panes. As well, I have 3 rv skylights and a chimney from the cookstove to work around. As well, I currently live in my truck full time, rented out my bedroom and am working as a carpenter.
Your thoughts would be appreciated.
