[QUOTE="Moneybox, post: 670520, member: 3960"] Now I see the difference. The most common foam used is the EPS (expanded polystyrene) and yes it's flamible. When we built the coolrooms in the prawn trawlers we used PU (polyurethane) closed cell foam that they clamed to be a fire retardant and it has the highest R-Value of any insulation used in the industry, up to R-8.06 per inch thickness. Polyurethane foam withstands physical attacks and stresses better than polystyrene as well as performs better in load bearing and thermal control application. It is also a cost-effective solution which is one reason why polyurethane is the most specified insulation for cold storage applications. I think the PU foam would be the best choice for camper construction. [/QUOTE]
