hi all
so i this is my first post. I am redoing a 1972 argosy airstream. I am looking to find a truly green insulation- i have done immense research but wondering if anyone has actually used sheep wool insulation? I saw an old thread from 2004 but nothing else. I wanted to use it in conjunction with the foil but maybe the foil needs more airspace to be effective? The R values are great, it's non toxic and good if wet and have a super low embodied energy since it is recycled natural material- i hate foam since it off gases and takes so much energy to produce.
i also saw a post on installing foil where a guy used felt to cover the seams which seems like an ingenuous low cost idea!
I am maybe worried about mice and also water in the belly pan- please advise if you have experience with these materials. Not gonna go with foam or mineral wool.
thank you so much! Glad this place exists.
