Wall construction question

Tom and JulieWall construction question
I remember seeing some old photos of the Barth factory showing the construction of the aluminum "cage" but my question is "Did Barth use cross stringers in the walls (like the roof)?". I am thinking of ways to insulate the walls with floam but it won't work if the walls have horizontal stringers. Anyone know the answer?

Tom and JulieI guess I'll need a Plan B! I can't hang enough pictures to cover all the holes necessary to inject foam into all those cavities. It seems that the top set behind the overhead compartments are the hotest in the summer and coldest in the winter.

Dick DubbsWhat is not shown on that nice shiny picture is the sticky, black schmutz and pink fiberglass that is applied next.
