R-pod insulation

The R-Pods are insulated. The side walls and floor are block foam insulation fitted into the aluminum frame and the ceiling is batting glued in place (From the video I saw, it could be fiberglass or rock wool. I couldn't tell which one). Forest River's site states the side walls are R7 and the floor and ceiling are R9.

We were using our R-Pod this past winter. We stayed in it (dry camping) when the weather was down into the low single-digits with significant wind chills. It used quite a bit of propane, but we did stay warm. What is not insulated are the fresh, gray, and black water tanks with some of the plumbing. Unless you use electrical heating blankets for your tanks, they will freeze up in other than overnight freezing temperatures. We carried an 8 gallon water jug for drinking water and for cooking needs and used disposable utensils and plates for the trip so we would not have to wash dishes. We got some Certainty Adult Washcloths, Walgreens item 501201 to wash up with since with no water onboard, showers were not an option.

The year before, we also made a trip during the winter, but stayed far enough south so that we did travel with water. We encountered overnight freezing temperatures, but daytime temperatures were above freezing so we did not have any problems. The key is to consider the conditions in which you expect to use it and plan accordingly on whether you have to dry camp or whether you can take water in the tank.
