new interior wall fabric for our 13' Boler

[LukeP]

I'm getting ready to order the new covering for my Boler walls. I'm sure somebody has posted the calculations for how many sq feet or yards to cover, but I can't find it. Any help?

Also, I'll use reflectix as my insulation layer... do you put this inside the closet/under the seats, etc as well? The PO had taken out all of the ensolite, so I can't really tell what would have been standard. Or, what is recommended, for that matter!

Luke,

I recently received my Casita '90 after a complete re-do. Check it out. The 1990 Casita Re-do, February 13-16th, 2011. The business that insulated the interior put reflectix on the interior walls, and on the outside of the bath wall , which faces the interior of the rv. The front closet was the only area where the carpet was retained as the interior. They did a very good job. Lots of photos on this website. Mona

Luke, The Ensolite is not behind the benches or the lower cabinet, it is behind the upper cabinet and I think it's in the closet too.

In my Scamp it is on the exterior wall of everything - oveheads, closet, seats etc......

[Darnelle]

The more insulation, the easier to heat and cool. I also added plastic-wrapped fiberglass insulation in the bench seats against the outside walls.

I agree with Darnelle. Sleeping on a cold bed isn't much fun in the Spring/Fall. Besides, you wouldn't want your canned food to freeze would you.... or boil-in-the-can

[LukeP]

okay! so in short, insulate all outside surfaces!

and a follow-up - anybody have an idea of how many yards of fabric it took for a 13 footer?

[Markz]

If the existing rat fur wall covering is not sagging, can I glue on Reflectix over it and than a vinyl headliner material to the reflectix?

Simple question: Do I need to remove the original Rat Fur if it is holding fine?

Our later model Boler has a type of carpeting on the walls. It's warm in cool weather, doesn't sweat and insulates reasonably in hot temperatures. We use a shop vac to clean it once a year and a carpet spot remover takes care of small stains. Just another option to think about.

When I went to the Scamp factory, they said it takes 25 yards of rat fur to cover the inside of a 13 footer

any idea who makes this or where it can be purchased? and does it have an insulated backing of some sort, as a part of it? it looks a little less fuzzy, than the scamp rat furr!

It was used in Bolers manufactured at the Midhurst factory from about '81 until about '87. It doesn't have a foam backing but is more like a heavy upholstry fabric.

Check out car headliner material. You can get it for marine applications and it's mold resistant, comes in a dearth of colors too! You'd still want some sort of insulation, whether the old ensolite or reflex-type.

Or it might be automotive carpeting, that is thicker than regular fabric but usually does not have any backing.
