Mr. G, I think the insulation will be 2 1/2" on the walls and 2" in the ceiling. They might spray it in....supposed to let me know tomorrow. They're insulating the floor, also. I told them I wanted the highest R-Value available.
About the A/C......the description for a 5k BTU says it'll cool 150 sq. ft. The trailer is only 14x7 so that should be adequate. Like you said...better to have too much than not enough. The main goal here is to keep the humidity out and keep the temp comfortable. I'm not looking to keep it as cool as it is in the storage unit. I'm gonna have my carpenter to frame around the hole for the A/C so it will be sturdy and won't put stress on those walls. They tend to be a bit flimsy. The ceiling, walls and floor on this unit are on 16" centers. I want a V-Nose, but, that will depend on where I decide to mount the A/C. You think the front of side would be better?
