Would this be good to insulate RV windows to keep motorhome cool?

Yes, it is perfect because it is thin enough to cut and doesn't make a mess. I just cut it to fit the windows and use double sided adhesive strips to stick it to the glass.

That is exactly what i used it for. For as thin as it is it keeps our camper cool and warmer at night

It would definitely help. We used it on our garage windows and it made a big difference considering we do not air condition the garage. I hope this helps.

definitely..its what everybody uses......helps a lot..but of course it won't make it like a refer.....depends on how hot it is outside. Use it on ur roof vents too...windows...front cab windows.etc.

I would think so. I have put it in several windows in my home and you can definitely tell a difference. I live in Phoenix so anything to make my house cooler makes me happy. You can tell a difference when you are standing by a window that I haven't put this in and can feel the heat. Love this product!

The short answer is "no". (Maybe a fan.) If you did the calculations I think you would find that your roof is not big enough to hold the panels that you would need and the battery bank would be more weight than your RV could safely carry. :(Come to California where you do not need heat or AC. :)

This product would insulate, but I don't think covering the face of a door would be an appropriate application. Before you think about insulating the door, you might want to check to see if there are any gaps that can be addressed first. If you search on Amazon you can probably find rubber or synthetic seals to place around the door frame and along the base. If the door is well sealed, but still cold, then I suppose you could consider an insulating material, but the question is how would you attach it without ruining the finish of the door.

I think it would be good to use on any camper or mobile home roof to help stop a leak, especially at a seam, but it would also be a good idea to seal around the edges of the EternaBond with a bead of DiCor sealant. That's what I did on my aluminum camper roof and it worked like a charm.

It depends on how thickly or thinly you apply it. If you roll it out real thin, you can probably squeeze two coats out of a gallon on, say, a 20-24 foot RV. This will give you good leak protection, and fair thermal insulation. If you put it on thicker (which gives better thermal insulation) you'll get less coverage. I used about a gallon per coat on my 24' motorhome. A friend used about 4 gallons on his 40-foot bus.

I wouldn't use this cover to keep heat in. It is very thin. It is designed to place over an insulated spa cover to keep UV, rain, pollen, etc from damaging main spa cover (which cost $300 and up). I recommend using something like this to prolong the main cover.

I would be concerned about roof leaks and wind when driving the RV. RV roofs are flat and pooled water would probably seep into screw holes. I supposed you could glue it, but that's a total hack. Driving with that on the roof would be potential trouble as well.

I would not try it without covering the RV with plastic. I did and am glad I did so. You can accidently have spills and spatters and would be sick if it were down the side of your RV. plastic is so reasonable at Walmart and to pieces went around my RV and then some. The little bit of extra "insurance" is well worth it.

I have never considered using it for that purpose. However it is a lightweight plastic and should be able to work. I would suggest placing it in the shade and ventilating it to avoid overheating and condensation build up.

In theory, yes, but I don't know how well the plastic will hold up if the sun beats on it or if it gets extremely cold. There is a 3M product that I referenced in my review that I used for the outside of the door.

This is a really small heater. It works great to keep my feet warm under the desk while I work on my computer. The heat doesn't reach for any distance from the heater. So if you need to cover a wider area in the RV it maybe not enough. If the tanks and lines are close together then it maybe enough to keep them thawed.

Since it doesn't have any insulation material its not like you can keep it cold a long time. It does help the fact that it keeps an "air chamber" between the glass and the plastic and this keeps it from getting warm to quickly. Short version: Not that long

That would probably work. The more insulation the better. I would use some kind of reflective like it type material for maximum heat. Good luck.

It moves a lot of air, but the problem is it will only move the air very well. You'd need a source near the Lasko emoting some cold air to distribute to the rest of the RV.

It depends on the size. Window glass is not necessarily and good keeping in the heat. I use this unit in my garage in between my two work benches - just to take the chill off my feet. Good little unit that my purpose.

I have put this on my rv under the new plywood roof. When your handling it you can feel the heat of your body reflecting back to the touch. I warm the garage up to work on rv almost done and overnight the trailer is warm inside when I go to work in garage. Cant wait to see how much cooler it will be during summer heat. Material is easy to work with tough not flimsy. Putting what's left over in my house attic also .

I'm not an expert, but my answer to your question would be "no", because this unit can work by just using the metal rod with suction cup (accessory) that you can attach to a window, so gluing a piece of sheet metal to an RV roof should work just as fine. I use a metal camping plate sitting on some wood and it works fantastic inside my RV. It just needs some metal to enhance the reception field. As long as the antenna firmly attaches (via magnet) to the metal you plan to use, it should definitely work. Good luck!
