Medic37Pulled my bathroom fan today ...32 screws ...really?
Anyway, looking thru the peep-holes forward and aft, it does not appear there is any insulation.
If it were an "option", on a 230k coach, this would seem to have been a minor expense.
Seems obvious to me now, as to why the wind [in cold weather], seems to just rip right thru and the cold radiates from all directions.
This is very obvious up in the front, inside the roof cap. Definite air movement in this area.

chuckdInteresting Mac, I talked to Doris one of the owners of the 25 foot Regal listed on this site, she mentioned that the previous owner had a 78 Barth, and said he told Barth that he wanted the same layout. He also stated that he wanted fiberglass insulation rather than the reflectix or foil insulation. He asked for that because in 89 Barth had started to drop the fiberglass and had gone to the reflectix. Just an fyi.

Marvin+Dorisabove is correct, previous owner ordered the fiberglass specifically because he did not like the new foil type insulation Barth started to put in. By the way our ceiling is padded vinyl.
