Guess what I'm using for insulation!

[Laurie T]

Thanx Andy...good to know!

[Bobbie Mayer]

Check on Amazon as I recently saw those tiles in a wood-grain look that would be really nice on walls.

[Laurie T]

Thanks Bobbie. I found it on amazon and that looks way cool! Might have to try it out since I have a credit a amazon I could use.

I'm reading the reviews and came across this: "My only complaint is that they scratch easily from my dog's nails. However, in my opinion, they are more for function than looks."

So it may not work for me because I wanted to get the foam tiles to protect my rug from my dog and she probably would scratch these up with her long airedale nails.

Still thinking about it.

a fellow with a Trillium here in town did his whole trailer in the multi coloured ones and mixed and not matched, looks not bad.... But.
I used these tiles to do a repair in corner of my tril and used contact cement worked fine. Had to do some fancy cutting in the upper corner but turned out great. I painted over with a flat latex and yes if you scratch it the paint will mark. Porbably should have used a primer base coat.

What are the exposed floor dimensions of the Scamp 16? I am looking at laying down these

Amazon.com: We Sell Mats Wood Grain Interlocking Foam Anti Fatigue Flooring 2'x2'x3/8" Tiles: Office Products

then a rug runner over that to minimize wear.

I am also wondering if it would be feasible to:

1) Take the carpet up
2) Lay down closed cell foam on the exposed floor
3) Lay down Pergo on top of that

To provide some insulation - warmer floor in the winter, soft(er) feel but purty.

Any feedback on these tiles as time goes on?

Sure hope he comes back and can answer your question. I think it's one of the neatest insulation solutions I've seen for flat sided all molded towables.

I'd be very interested to know how the adhesive has held out over time and get some detailed pictures of the complex curves of corners in the ceiling.

Busy, busy, busy.

To put it in few words: If I was to do it again, I'd do it the same way - the tiles stud well to the test of time.
To put it in more words: The only issue I had was caused by the adhesive I used. In hot weather. middle portion of some of the tiles was sagging a bit. I'm guessing that the adhesive closer to the edges dried up faster than in the middle so, in scorching sun it was getting playable again. The tiles were no coming off but on some of them it was visible that they fully don't stick. A gentle push towards the wall and all was good again.
After first season or maybe into the middle of the second one, no more problems.
If you are going to do it, find a good adhesive.
In any case; we are very happy with the thermal and sound insulation we got by using these tiles. The colours did not fade so, it's always a real eye opener for everybody who takes a peek inside. After all, how many people can say about their 14 footer that they have green bedroom, red guest room and yellow kitchen?
I wasn't a hippie but somehow "Peace brother" comes to mind.

We installed these tiles in our boler floor in 2013 and it has been used a ton since.
We just cleaned the floor today and they still look great!

I've been looking into these for the floor in my 13' Scamp. They are now available in a wood look as well. I have a little old doggie who has a problem with incontinence. I'm thinking these would be easy to clean as well as give us all a soft surface on which to stand. Plus, the insulating factor would be great.

Wife put the same thing down as Fred and while winter camping in our Boler, only covered 100% of floor and cubby's too, it made a big differance and after camping trips just take out and sweep or let dry and be ready for next week.

Busy, busy....
For anybody interested; 8 seasons and no sign of any deterioration. This insulation really works very well!

[Poodlesrule]

We used them on the floor over the carpet. Really made a difference in cold/warm feet. Home Depot has them in a "wood look" (stone look on backside).

I know that this is an old post, but hope that someone who has used these pads on the walls of a FG trailer can answer a question: Is there a problem with condensation using these? As far as compound curves go, I have a friend who uses these panels to build cosplay costumes and props, cutting and gluing with superglue to make compound shapes.

I never had any problems with condensation. Mind you, we don't cook in our trailer and we have decent ventilation. On a very seldom occasion, we use an electric heater so the only moisture is from breathing. Still, even with 4 people sleeping, no condensation on the walls.
