Jesse1973 Barth interior panel upgrade
Hi, I am wondering if anyone can tell me what the best way to attach interior panelling to the aluminum framing? Also any suggestions on the type of material I should use?
Many thanks!

Kris & Tina JonesThis is a project I will be taking on in the near future as well. My walls will be exposed as soon as the snow flies but until then I don't have a solid answer for you. I am sure you would have to locate the studs and use self tapping screws to affix the paneling but I am wondering if this would'nt be a good time to add some insulation. Any suggestions?

Rustydon't know what coach Jesse has, but Barths are insulated as well as they can be - you'll not find batten fiberglas in at least later coaches.

billyt53Sikaflex 552 is the adhesive to use to apply anything to the superstructure
From their website:
Sikaflex®-552
Sikaflex®-552 is a high performance gap-filling silane terminated polymer adhesive. It is suitable for bonding structural joints which will be subjected to dynamic stresses. Sikaflex®-552 bonds well to a wide variety of substrates including wood, metals, metal primers and paint coatings, ceramics, plastics and glass.

Hmmmm, I would not agree. All I have is:
vinyl headliner with foam backing
plywood
plastic bubble insulation
air space
exterior aluminum panels
Even with the light exterior paint, my Breakaway gets hot/cold fast, The mirror on the back bedroom wall gets very hot to the touch when the back end is exposed to the sun. The light fixtures along the ceiling also get very hot. IMHO that air space should be filled with something
When parked in 50 degree weather, the furnace will cycle every 10 minutes when set at 65 degrees. In 80+ degree weather, the roof airs do not cycle.
Maybe I am expecting to much but this will be addressed with my coach sometime in the future.

Here is a cross section of my interior. Mine's about the same as MWrench's interior.
