Insulation of Romahome

[Andywmb]

Hi everyone.

Just looking for a bit of advice for my Romahome. When i got it the interior of it had been stripped out ready for renovation. So at the moment it is pretty much just a glass fibre box sitting beside my house.

I'm just wondering if it would have had insulation in it when it came out of the factory (my one seems like quite an old one with glass windows in alloy frames) and if so what would it have been?

My plan at the moment is to use polystyrene loft insulation sheeting stuck to the external walls then covered in 3mm MDF sheeting. if anyone can suggest a better solution or tips on the best way to do this it will be much appreciated.

I've already got my cushion covers made, sink polished, cooker and fridge bought. so all i need to do is order up the insulation, timber for the bed base and other bits and pieces.

P.s Anyone fitted a shower into one of these? I've seen it done in a Hi-jet variant...


Cheers Andy

Hi Andy

I have a Romahome pod (plus a second as a doner) that i am restoring to eventually replace my ageing Bambi and the roof lining is about 10mm thick and goes all the way down to the floor of the luton section over the cab.

This lining us made up of a plywood sheet about 5mm thick, that in turn had been lined with some sort of foam, then covered with what looks like the sort of roof lining you get in cars.

I know this as i removed and re-sealed the roof vent.

Around the windows and to the sides of the pod is a simiar covering, but more like carpet or the lining sold for camper convertions, but the plywood looks thinner at around 3mm.

I have lined around the front end, where the removable windown blank lines up with the vehicle's rear window with the lining sold for camper convertions.

I also plan to line the back of the seats, below the windows and under the seat cushions down to the floor where they meet the carpet with the same stuff..

This will hopefull only leave above the sink and above the cooker prone to condensation.

In Mine there are two notches in the fibreglass edges of the bed base where two peices of wood slot in.

When you lay the cushions down the plywood backing forms the bed.

Have you bed bases been removed ?
