I used this to insulate the roof of my slideout and it has made a huge difference.

So i am considereing using it on my RV roof (foil side up), it would take about 6 sheets to cover the whole roof. I would cut around the vents and stuff and tape the sheets together, then get 50ft or rope or twine and secure it from the rear bumper over the roof to the front hitch connection. One tiedown on each side should hold it in place im thinking. Plus adding a brick on each corner would help as well. The trick would be to just keep the wind from getting under it.
The Good:
1. It would keep my RV cooler and pay for itself by saving electric cost.
2. It is inexpensive.
3. Its easy to install.
4. It should not impede the flow of water off the roof so no pools will exist.
The Bad:
1. It might break down over time and then i would have that styrofoam stuff all over the place. I dont know if this stuff will break down with exterior use or not.
2. It would give bugs especially spiders a place to reside under it.
3. In the winter time it would stop needed heat from the sun on the roof.
4. I may have to remove it in the winter and put it up on the summer.
5. It might attract lightning.
Thoughts anyone?
