I have this hot water heater bubble wrap in my camper good stuff with an
R7 rating when used in walls - three layers of this stuff and you have
better insulation than most houses.  The thing that you have to
remember is that you should treat your camper like you treat your house -
you need a vapour barrier in there to keep moisture out of the walls.
