After exterior wall and insulation:

Hey guys! New to the forums.
I have 2 question. I just finished up repairing the rotted frame and upgrading the insulation. I just finished putting the exterior wall.
1st question: Should I waterproof the wood with deck paint, house wrap or something similar to protect the wood and ensure no rotting in the future?
2nd questions: I have a corregated fiberglass outer wall, does it need to be laminated to the RV?
Thanks guys!!
 
I would definitely seal the wood with a water resistant sealant not a house wrap.
And not sure about the laminate I would reach out to a tiny home builder for their option.
 
I have my hands full with tiny issues compared to you and I am only a marginal handyman. My logic (which is occasionally wrong) tells me any fiberglass exterior should be laminated to the underlayment. Lamination will distribute the load over a wide area rather than just on fasteners. With constant vibration and twisting, I think this is important. It might even reduce noise or vibration.

Please continue to post photos of your progress. I am both impressed and interested. I need a hand from you for about one good day ;)
