>>>Check out material called Reflectix

Although I do see this used a lot in buses. (on the samba) It doesn't seem that It would have too high of an R rating? Closed cell foam spray is close to 7R per inch.

Also a lot of air infiltration around the Reflectix? I suppose it could be sealed up with tape though? And would require 3 or 4 layers for the north clime?

Price wise it shines! :o) I will cost about 300 to DIY spray the interior of a bus.

Thanks! John...
